In terms of military power, the United States can be said to be the world's dominant position. It not only has 11 of the world's most leading nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and 374 overseas military bases, but also has advanced fighter jets in the world today. On December 2, local time in the United States, the US Air Force publicly displayed the new generation of B-21 "Raider" stealth strategic bomber for the first time. You should know that this is the new stealth strategic bomber that the United States has debuted in 33 years. The advent of the B-21 stealth bomber will once again change the military landscape of the world today. You should know that the United States has already occupied the world's military overlord position, and now it has taken the lead in developing the world's first sixth-generation fighter jet today, and its significance is self-evident. So, what is special about the US B-21 stealth bomber? What impact does the B-21 stealth bomber have on our country?
As the most powerful country in the world today, the United States has the most powerful military power, the F-22 fighter is the world's first fifth-generation fighter developed by the United States. Even in today's world, the only countries that can independently develop and produce fifth-generation fighter jets are the United States, Russia and China. In the field of strategic bomber , the US B-2 stealth bomber, as the world's only stealth strategic bomber, has given the US an absolute leading position in the world in military power. Now, the United States is the first to develop the world's first sixth-generation aircraft. The launch of the B-21 "Ragger" stealth strategic bomber has further improved the United States' military strength to a higher level.
We know that as the main hegemonic country in the world today, the United States is in the world's leading position in both military and economic fields. The United States has been showing off its power around the world for a long time with its leading military strength. According to statistics, since the United States' independence from , the United States has had no war in the United States for more than 200 years of history. In the remaining 200 years of history, the United States has been in a state of war in a country or region around the world, causing huge economic losses and casualties to people from all over the world. Now, the United States, which was the first to develop the sixth-generation aircraft, is firmly at the forefront of the world military rankings.
It is understood that the B-21 stealth bomber was produced by the famous American military giant Northrop Grumman company at the California factory, and its appearance is similar to the B-2 currently in service in the United States. The U.S. Air Force said the B-21 stealth bomber is slightly smaller in size than the B-2. It is learned from the Internet that the US B-2 stealth bomber is 21.03 meters long and 5.18 meters high, with a maximum wingspan of 52.43 meters, and a maximum take-off weight of 170 tons. The B-21 stealth bomber adopts a "flying wing" design and can be equipped with conventional weapons and nuclear bomb . The B-21 stealth bomber has the functions of long-range flight and aerial refueling. When equipped with weapons, the maximum range can reach more than 10,000 kilometers. If air refueling is carried out in the middle of the journey, the B-21 stealth bomber will have the ability to cover the world.
So, what is special about the US B-21 stealth bomber? As the world's first sixth-generation fighter, the B-21 stealth bomber adopts next-generation stealth technology, advanced network capabilities and an open system architecture. In terms of stealth capabilities, the B-21 stealth bomber adopts new manufacturing technology and stealth materials to ensure that the B-21 stealth bomber can perform penetration and prevent anti-intervention capabilities. The B-21 stealth bomber's air intake opening is smaller and does not have the bulge of the engine nacelle like the B-2 bomber . The fusion of the intake , cockpit and wings is smoother.
B-21 stealth bomber has important significance to the United States. The B-21 stealth bomber will become a weapon used by the United States to check and balance the rise of China and Russia, and will become an important strategic air deterrent force for the United States for a long time to come. Northrop Grumman, the United States, even exaggerated the strategic position of the B-21 stealth bomber, advocating that it can not only connect with other fighter jets, but also easily integrate into future weapons. In fact, our J-20 fighter also has these functions of the US B-21 stealth bomber. It can be seen that the B-21 stealth bomber, which was once hyped by the United States, is actually not as powerful as imagined.
However, it has to be said that although the size of the US B-21 stealth bomber is slightly smaller than that of the B-2 and the corresponding payload is also reduced, the B-21 stealth bomber still has the ability to carry GBU-57 giant ground-borrow and conduct long-range nuclear strikes. It is understood that the manufacturing cost of the US B-21 stealth bomber is about US$750 million per unit. According to the US Air Force's estimates, 50-100 B-21 stealth bombers will be purchased and gradually replaced the current B-2 stealth bomber.
It can be said that the emergence of the US B-21 stealth bomber is undoubtedly a significant threat to China. Especially in recent years, the United States has continuously sent nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to my country's South China Sea waters for so-called free cruises, interfering in my country's domestic and diplomatic affairs, posing a serious threat to my country. In order to protect our country's legitimate rights and interests from infringement, our country urgently needs a new stealth strategic bomber that can act as a deterrent. With the advent of the B-21 stealth bomber, will the H-20 meet with the Chinese people in the near future? What do you think of the US B-21 stealth bomber? Leave a message in the comment area.
