U.S. Air Force to unveil B-21 Raider stealth bomber

November 28, 2022 - The U.S. B-21 Raider stealth bomber will be revealed to the public on Dec 2. It is described by its manufacturer as “the most advanced military aircraft ever built.”

The rollout will take place at Northrop Grumman’s facility in Palmdale, California. The company said in September that six test bombers were in various stages of final assembly there, according to Defense News.

The B-21 is a long-range stealth bomber intended to replace the U.S. fleet of B-1 and B-2 bombers from the mid-2020s.
