So some time between 2025 and 2030, Russia will produce a stealth bomber equivalent to our 1980’s B-2. Meanwhile, we have already spooled up production for the B-21 stealth bomber, with at least 2 already completed and more under construction.

Can someone explain how the B-21 is even useful?

They cost $2 billion per plane. A Falcon 9 can deliver at 50 ton payload anywhere on the planet for $50 million per launch.

What does a plane give over a rocket that can reliably hit a bullseye on a moving barge?
