JoeWeber 2,937 #1 Posted November 10, 2023 The Air Force did a first flight of our new $700,000,000 ea. B-21 Raider Bomber. That sweet baby is scheduled to replace our underutilized B-2's and the B-1 Lancer bombers. What an obscene waste of money--again. How many eye operations for poor kids would $700,000,000 buy and that's just 1? We still have 20 B-2's just sitting around doing nada. For that money we could send 1 million DJI Mavics to Ukraine and do some real good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When trump is re-elected the US might end up buying 300-400 B-21 Raiders. "In comments given to the National Interest, former Trump National Security Advisor Robert C. O'Brien explained that the U.S. Air Force needs 300-400 B-21 Raider stealth bombers considering the growing threat from China's rising military might. ... O'Brien was considered by most who observed the Trump national security team up close in Washington as knowledgeable, politically connected, and able to move between the MAGA/populist wing of the GOP and more neoconservative elements. Many Republican defense hawks would consider O'Brien an excellent pick for Secretary of Defense, State, or even an outside chance at Vice President. " So a new $300 billion dollar weapons program. Perhaps if the US just bought off the Chinese communist party? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
