From 19 B-2 Spirits To 145 B-21 Raiders: How Much Bigger America's Stealth Bomber Fleet Is About To Get
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0

The stealth bomber force is expected to grow from 19 Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit bombers to as many as 145 Northrop Grumman B-21 Raiders, with the first operational aircraft scheduled for 2027 at Ellsworth Air Force Base and billions now flowing into increased production capacity.
