The second B-21 Bomber first flew in California, announced air force – they say the milestone officials will tell the testing of the first new long range in more than three decades.
“With the arrival of another B-21 attacker, our flight test campaign received a significant momentum,” he said in a statement. He added that the service can now begin to integrate weapons and mission systems into the bomber. So far, flight testing was limited mainly to performance checks.
B-21, built Northrop Grumman, is the world’s first sixth-generation aircraft and will be able to carry nuclear and conventional weapons. His design of design is intended to penetrate deep into enemy territory and operates against increasingly advanced air defenses killed by China, Russia and other opponents.
The new bomber follows in the native hoorer of cold warfare B-52 stratoforms, supersonic B-1 Lancer and Radar-Evading B-2 Spirit.

Unlike B-2, which cost about two billion dollars per plane and finally limited to a fleet of 2100 million dollars of about $ 800 million per airline and with an architecture of open systems to facilitate technological upgrades.
B-2, still in the service, recently flew fighter missions during us attacks on Iranian nuclear locations in June.
Air forces leaders said that service plans buy at least 100 B-21s, which will work in parallel with a fleet of 76 modern b-52j strategies well into the future. Together, the two planes will form the backbone of the American bombing force, providing long-term strikes and nuclear deterrence as part of the American Nuclear Triad.
The program is carefully observed in Washington after past planes, such as F-35 Firher Att and Tanker KC-46, suffered significant delays and cost exceedings.

The officials held the most detailed classified B-21, including the schedule to achieve initial operational abilities, although the air force said that the bomber would enter the service in the early 2030s.
The General David Allvin’s Air Force Head Said that adding another test plan a positive step towards that goal. “Adding another B-21 The flight test program speeds up the way to retire,” Allvin said. “We have more property assets in the test environment, we bring this ability faster to our war wars faster, which shows the urgency with which we deal with modernization.”

The B-21 program, which started at the beginning of 2010, which was known as the Bomber-Dugi Pension Bomber initiative, described the Pentagon leaders as essentially in the maintenance of the American military advantage.
Officials said the aromatic range would conceal more options in Indo-Pacific, where long distances and growing Chinese missile threats cause traditional advanced bases.
The B-21 was recently summer near Edwards Air Force Force Base, the air force was said Thursday. (Air force)

Northrop Grumman runs a program with a supplier network across the country, which support thousands of jobs. The company first introduced a plane in December 2022. year on his Palmdale, California, although most of his abilities remains very classified. Only a few images were exempt, showing elegant flying wings design that resemble B-2, but built with updated materials and engineering.
With the testing now, the Pentagon hopes to avoid delays and deliver bombing on time and on the budget. Officials emphasize that the B-21 will give the United States critical edge in decades to come in both conventional striking mission and nuclear deterrent.
