The American low vision B-21 Raider bomber was designed to deter potential US enemies. The publication 19FortyFive praised the progress in the development of a promising bomber, which is considered the coolest aircraft in the world.

It was noted that the US Air Force Department allocated $108 million to Northrop Grumman for pre-procurement under the B-21 development program. Funds are for the purchase of components needed to build the first batch of aircraft.

The B-21 Raider is believed to be operational in the late 2020s. The aircraft will be one of the components of the family of long-range shock systems. These systems will be able to perform reconnaissance missions and provide electronic countermeasures.

Last week, Northrop Grumman CEO Katie Warden announced that mass production of the B-21 could begin between 2025 and 2026.

“Progress continues on all elements of the B-21 program. For fiscal year 2022, the Defense Appropriations Act has funded five new military construction projects to support the B-21 mission at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, which will be the first major Raider base.” .

An inconspicuous hangar to service the B-21 Raider bombers is already being built on the territory of the base.
