Edition & nbsp National Interest has released material on a new US B-21 strategic bomber, many of whose characteristics remain secret. The author of the article, Chris Osborne, believes that this aircraft could cause great problems for Russian air defense systems.
Unnamed High & nbsp; A representative of the US Air Force said that this secret bomber would pose a threat to any target in the world, regardless of the time of day … The article suggests that the aircraft will be tested on air defense systems similar to the Russian and Chinese.
Osborne emphasizes that Russia has S-400 and S-500 systems capable of destroying invisible aircraft. In his opinion, however, it will be very difficult to find the B-21. A completely new technology for concealing this bomber could turn the plane into its “ worst nightmare“. for Russia, writes Osborne.
The B-21 Raider may enter service in 2025. It is built according to the “ flying wing & # 39; & # 39; and is capable of carrying missiles and bombs with nuclear warheads. Its task is also the covert destruction of enemy air defense objects in order to open the way for tactical aviation.
The main non-nuclear weapons of the bomber will be hypersonic missiles & nbsp; AGM-183A ARRW, accelerating to speed M = 17 and able to hit targets at a distance of 800 km. The deployment of these missiles is scheduled for next year. We remind you that Russia already has hypersonic air missiles in operation.
