Hello B-21 Raider

JSOW-ER was axed in favour of JASSM-ER. I think the consensus was that JSOW-ER was only really relevant to the F-35 but JASSM-ER has such range that it allowed all fighter aircraft to fire from outside air defence range.
JASSM-XR will be carried by B-21s (and B-52s and B-1Bs in the interim) and carry a larger 2,000lb warhead out to 1,000+nm (1,850+km) range and a 1,000lb one a lot further presumably.

If you are going to claim that 99.9% radio waves are going to be absorbed even before geometry comes into play, why not tell us approximately how thick the stealth coating on the surface is ? If what you are claiming is true which is 99.9% it becomes a near perfect black body capable of absorbing all the electromagnetic radiation.
Official claims. It stands to reason that it's a step forward from the B-2, which was only about a decade better than the F-117.
Most of the low RCS number for stealth plane are usually in high frequency bands like X, Ku, K & that to at certain angles ( over all RCS number will always be high )
B 21 claim to fame is that it is stealthy even in low band ( UHF/VHF ) which isin my opinion....Even with 0.00001 mt ² claimed RCS of pellet size ( lowest RCS value not the overall RCS ).... combination of space based sensors , high power Ground based Radars & over the Horizon radar will still detect it.
there are mobile Ground based X band radars out there even today which can easily detect & track this thing up to 250 km away
A tailless design is necessary for stealth in low frequency bands, so it meets the shaping criteria.
What's necessary to detect this bomber is a terahertz radar.
For example, we can see the B-21 with our eyes, so it is likely visible only in the microwave and infrared spectrums, along with visible light.
For true stealth, an aircraft has to be stealthy all the way from visible light to FM. But real world radars in the infrared and visible light don't exist yet, at least those that can detect aircraft from hundreds of Kms away.
But the B-21 should comfortably be able to defeat radar that works with radio waves. Even the OTH radars.
No. It's meant for deep penetration. Meaning, it's meant to hit the enemy where it hurts before SEAD/DEAD comes into play.
Now that B-21 has been revealed it is good to know that I'm not the only one pondering what these aircraft spotted almost ten years ago are.
If he calls a delta wing a "triangle" in all likelihood this "correspondent" & his "portal / magazine " come from the same junkyard you do i.e trailer park .
In other news wonder bird here comes with a price tag of 700 million USD only with 100 numbers scheduled to be procured. The entire budget for development manufacturing & operating this project amounts to 203 billion USD.
US Air Force unveils new B-21 Raider nuclear stealth bomber
The first new bomber in three decades could cost nearly $700m (£569m) per plane.

Why's this important ?! Coz the entire thing seems like a scam . Given your F-35 fiasco , any sane man will think twice ( but of course we're talking of the US here ) or thrice before buying any of the BS the USAF , DoD , Northrop Grumman & especially you put out here.
You did remark in the FIFA Soccer World Cup 2022 thread that American Football has / had seen ex presidents & armed forces generals as it's players & ardent supporters of the game , claiming it taught them important concepts like strategy & team work all on the basis of a few thick tomed play books with lots of diagrams in it , which in turn also caused brain damage ( the playing not the memorization of those tomes or probably both considering those playing the game were yokels to begin with ) , isn't it sweetie ?
Best part is the spectacular results all that "strategising & team work " manifesting itself in Vietnam & Afghanistan .
Gurrrrrl You betta be careful before you say something stupid again and throw a tantrum demanding the mods to ban you, but then leaving on your own in a self impose boycott only to see that nobody here has thought about you as you lurk this forum.If he calls a delta wing a "triangle" in all likelihood this "correspondent" & his "portal / magazine " come from the same junkyard you do i.e trailer park .

You have me In your mind , I have total control over you .Gurrrrrl You betta be careful before you say something stupid again and throw a tantrum demanding the mods to ban you, but then leaving on your own in a self impose boycott only to see that nobody here has thought about you as you lurk this forum.
So you didn't have anything of substance to justify why this B-21 scam costs 700 million USD per piece yet you had things to say about the cost of the Rafale.
Further , Show some respect sweetie . I may not be as old as your unfortunate pappy but the last time you got cute on me & tried those faggotty terms of endearments like sweetie , hunny bunny & that statement you thought would rile me which I've quoted above , your culo got owned , your patented phrases appropriated such that you were terrified of using them & abandoned them in a jiffy . And now we're back to where we started from .
Nah. I get excited when you come back from your self imposed ban because it means more nutty shenanigans from you thanks to me getting totally under your skin. Lets be real and honest sunshine... since mein arrival here it has been a nightmare for you. Admit that I'm responsible for you losing your sht and pretty much boycotting this forum.
Why the hell would I have to justify the B-21 to a malaka like you who's nation is paying over $100 million per Rafale a 4th gen fighter and will pay $60 million more to upgrade the plane to have SEAD/DEAD capability a capability that already comes in all US fighters? Talk about a scam... honey you need to take a look at your chocolate self in the mirror gurrrrl friend!
Lol. How long before I get you to throw a fit and leave to teach us all a lesson on what it would be like without you here in the forum? 1 week?
The range of radars at higher frequencies is very poor though, that's why search radars use a lower frequency in the first place. What you would need is a quantum radar but that wouldn't be particularly easy to design and would be rife with false positives IMO.A tailless design is necessary for stealth in low frequency bands, so it meets the shaping criteria.

Investment, cooperation, partnership comes from sole superpower of world but these terms seem much alien to our defense ministry, armed forces, defense industry (majorly government owned labs and factories). We are still very much conservative and not willing to take risk beyond familiar grounds.
Maybe she is talking about this?
Eric W. Davis, an astrophysicist who worked as a subcontractor and then a consultant for the Pentagon U.F.O. program since 2007 told the New York Times he gave a classified briefing to a Defense Department agency as recently as March about the alleged “off-world” vehicles. He also gave classified briefings on retrievals of unexplained objects to staff members of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee last October.

But then again she is a chic who has that position because of quota so would she be privy to such info?
Woke fems and fem-boys you may attack me now for this post.
