Must not be too “Top Secret” if we know where the plant is and what is being built inside.

Having nukes on a crew-less plane. What could possibly go wrong?

Not to worry.
SkyNet will be in constant contact with the bomber at all times.

Payload for our new bomber?
B-52 = 70,000 lbs
B-1B = 75,000 lbs
B-2 = 40,000 lbs
More is better.

Notice they said the B-21 wouldn’t be nuclear-certified right out of the box? I sense so misdirection going on here. This is a strategic high-altitude drone program, perhaps being piggy-backed on a manned strategic bomber to follow.

Also, ground crew can be relieved mid-flight.
