How long until cameras with AI and night vision and so forth can easily detect any aircraft no matter how small its radar cross-section? I suspect a lot of money is being poured down a hole when it comes to “stealth” aircraft.

They only carry 1/2 the bomb load of a B-2, which means 1/10 the load of a B-1B.

So it's not really a heavy bomber at all.

Great that it's got a tiny radar return, but you'll need TEN of them to get even the effect of one B-1B.

Now the B-21 may be cancelled due to budget short falls and changing AF needs.
