From B-2 To B-21 Stealth Bomber: How The ‘Raider’ Will Surpass The ‘Spirit’ In USAF’s Global Strike Power

 

After the success of Operation Midnight Hammer, the US Air Force’s top officer has drawn attention to the large number of next-generation B-21 stealth bombers that, he believes, would allow the service to effectively face the national security threats and challenges of the future.

 

Air Force Maj. Gen. Jason Armagost, who is currently the Eighth Air Force, to which the Air Force’s current B-2, B-1, and B-52 bombers belong, spoke about the future of US long-range bomber strikes at a webinar hosted by the Air & Space Forces Association’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.

 

Armagost said that bringing in the B-21, which is currently undergoing testing, will allow the USAF to develop a bomber “campaign force” that can use a variety of bombs and launch attacks on many continents simultaneously, referring to the large number of B-21s that have been planned for purchase.
