It's not. The B1 certainly is, though.

No it's not, all the "stealth" technology in the world won't stop a sonic boom. The cloud surrounding the B2 in the above pictures is do to localized low pressure in humid air, not a shock wave.

No, interesting picture, usually that is a shockwave picture.

Maybe they told the Zero that it was supersonic so they had to photoshop the picture for him.
