America’s secretive $745M nuclear bomber takes flight in first aerial test

New images show America’s highly secret, $745-million stealth nuclear bomber taking to the air for what is apparently its first, publicly acknowledged, flight test.

The B-21 Raider was unveiled in December 2022, but the US government has so far been discreet about showing off this cutting-edge, radar-evading aircraft.

The sleek bomber was shown flying for the first time as it undergoes flight testing, in pictures released Wednesday, one crucial step before a minimum first order of 100 of these stealth craft can be approved for manufacture.

The B-21 has been described as a ‘dual-capable bomber’ — able to launch both conventional and nuclear ordinance.

The only thing ‘secret’ about this dog is that it’s a scam on the Treasury. ‘Sleek.’. it looks like a turd – or a .. B-2. ‘ Dual -capable’ bomber.. the B-52 is that for 60 years. ‘AI controlled sensors’ , ‘Digital bomb-bay’.. who writes this drivel?
In the graphic they claim the Su -57 shoots incoming missiles with a laser, huh? The picture of the Su-57 is actually an F-22, and the friendly air-force jets are Mig -29s. God help us.
