Air Force Unveils Name of Future Stealth Bomber as B-21 'Raider'.
AFA 2016 B-21 Naming Ceremony Raider was selected as the name of the Long Range Strike-Bomber, or LRS-B, by leaders after the service launched a survey of service members.

China stole both the AESA radar stuff AND the engine stuff from the F-35:
The very most sensitive stuff.
Let’s hope those idiots keep THIS a bit more secret.
I’d be surprised if even a prototype gets built.
Sometimes I think defense companies feel AIDED when the Chinese turn up with their stuff:
"Oh no..! They're RIGHT BEHIND US, we gotta spend more and more now..!"
The pilots? Yes, they'd suffer.
I'm not sure SOME of the people in the companies feel the same way, though.
i think they should name it the Obamber.
Couldn’t agree more.
However, as long as we outsource, use foreign nationals and have weak information security to ensure data confidentiality, we can expect compromise of all of our military “secrets”.

They are $550mil each and they are planning to build at least 100 of them.
Another boring ‘guy’ name. Yawn. Considering the legendary status of a woman scorned, how about a B-52 Suzy, or a F-111 Betsy or an Abrams Charlotte? “Raider” humpf.
The North Vietnamese won with a shotgun shell, a piece of pipe and a nail.
Sheesh...take a venerable name, “Douglas Skyraider,” chop it down, dumb it up and you get plain old “Raider.” Who’s going to be the first squadron commander? Paul Revere?
We don’t need anymore trillion dollar whiz-bang crap that by the time it’s developed and implemented the tech is stolen or given away by the progs. What we need is either the will to fight for the win or the will to stay out.

B-21 Rodham
Carpet munching instead of carpet bombing...
I could’ve sworn I saw a T-55 smashing down the presidential gate in Saigon watching the news in April 1975. I guess my memory fails me.
And Walter Cronkite. And a Dim congress.

Interesting that you might say that.
Defense intel news site: http://www.deagel.com/ which provides military asset inventory stats,
indicates by 2025 the USA will be down to a population of 61 Million, and our military capabilities will be a shell of what we currently are:

Go to the bottom of that page and read their reasoning written in 2014.
We’ve slide significantly since then...
It could be they’re using that as very provocative Click bait scheme.
One thing for certain is that this country cannot survive the Uniparty democrat Rinos to push further national debt (now 20 Trillion), and immigration chaos.
We’ll see ;n)
Funny they call it the B-21 because it’s going to get the A-12 treatment.
That is so sadly true...

And Nixon.
