It’s what was flying over the robot battlefield in the Terminator movies.
Regardless, i will give credit where credit is due. We have some amazing engineers in this country of ours.

Biden can’t wait to sell it to the Chinese military for a few bucks.....................
Airlifted biden ballots into pa. Ga. Az. and Wi. no doubt
I love a good distraction when our presidential election has been destroyed by the rats....at this point, I’d rather read about a deadly hurricane coming in or a huge earthquake....
So two 12 year old kids were throwing a boomerang around.
Actually, the Chicoms probably had this in their version of Popular Mechanics....People’s Worker’s Glorious Illustrated Chinese Revolution Science Emanation.
Their Chinese “college students” (spies) in American universities and research places probably already sent the usernames, passwords, security clearance copy permissions and all the highly classified plans for this.
Those are our Drones now Kamala
Looks like the B-21 Raider. It’s very “B-2 like” except the sawtooth trailing edge of the wing is simplified.
And there is no crew...............
Why are they going back through the B numbers?
I mean the real B-1 was the Huff-Daland XB-1 built in 1927.
They recycle...................
Good Spooky stuff!
(After 20 years, he still won't talk to me about anything he does)
It is a mistake to retire the B-1. Like a golfer using different clubs. The bomber fleet is the same. When you need something fast with a huge payload it is the B-1. Not all situations are the same.
The B-1 and it’s replacement are for highly contested air. The B-52 is there when you want to carpet bomb a city back to the stone age and three cities nearby.
The B-2 is there for when you need a huge payload delivered fast.
Eliminating one of these options is just plain stupid. Like the warthog, the brass likes big money toys. Like the warthog, the B-1 is needed to do the work the others can’t.
at this point, Id rather read about a deadly hurricane coming in or a huge earthquake....

It’s still 2020 and the Yosemite Caldera hasn’t blown yet.
Red Badger; you sound like Mitch who wants to talk about Covid.
I confess that I can’t see if there’s anybody in the cockpit.
There is no cockpit..................save weight and space................
Tyler says: The reality is that it could be the Polecat and not the RQ-180 that is operating in the open at the base from time to time, while the RQ-180 operates more in the shadows. We just don't know. It is all but certain the RQ-180 exists though, while the Polecat flying again is more speculative, at least at this time.
Either way, this is exciting stuff and yet another indicator of a capability that will increasingly become a central fixture of the future of high-end air combathigh-altitude, long-endurance, penetrating unmanned aircraftis moving forward.
Our entire report on the RQ-180, which has been a year in the making, will address all this and so much more in the very near future. So standby for that. In the meantime, keep looking up!
and cancel US production ala Jimmah Cahtah
