They’re going to be a lot cheaper than the B-2 Spirit. Those are $2.1 billion EACH. The B-21 Raider projected unit price is at $692 million each.
I know those are projected costs but they will still be fair cheaper.
At $2.1 billion per copy, the B2 is less a military platform than it is a national treasure.
The asymmetric cost of drone fleets seems to become more attractive by the day.
Beyond the initial price tag, the B2's are said to be extremely maintenance-intensive.
The B-21's should be MUCH easier to maintain. That and spare parts are where the real savings will be.
