Defense and congressional officials are hinting at the role the incoming B-21 bomber may have.

This week’s remarks during a military symposium in the Black Hills mark some of the first times an American adversary is mentioned in relation to the next-generation stealth bomber.

The B-21 Raider’s first mission is set for Ellsworth Air Force base in Box Elder. The United States military is expected to purchase at least 100 of the B-21 Raiders.

U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds said six of the nuclear capable bombers are currently under production. He describes the nuclear-capable bomber as most advanced weapons system ever developed.

“It is actually our China deterrence weapon," said Rounds, who sits on the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees. His rhetoric surrounding the B-21 Raider is some of the first publicly directed at a specific country.

“We have the ability to let China and others know that should they become belligerent that this particular platform can carry nuclear weapons. It can carry conventional weapons, as well," Rounds said. "It can do so and penetrate their most advanced air protection systems—their air defense systems—and take out some of the most sensitive sights that they have if we perceive that they are going to be or are using them in an offensive capability.”

Rounds said the Raider costs about $700 million each. That does not count the millions that have gone into research and development.

Scott Vander Hamm is the Vice President of Northrop Grumman, the defense contractor that’s building the B-21 Raider.

During a recent keynote speech at the Black Hills Military Symposium in Rapid City, Vander Hamm said 80 million people watched the unveiling of the B-21 Raider last December.

He said a large chunk of viewers came from China.

“Twenty-five percent of those people had IP addresses in the People’s Republic of China. So, did we send a clear message? Did you hear [Defense Secretary] Secretary [Lloyd] Austin speak at that? Vice [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff] Admiral [Christopher] Grady and Kathy Warden, our president and CEO?" Vander Hamm said. "We sent a clear deterrence message.”

China was not mentioned during the rollout in Palmdale, California.

Officials expect the stealth bomber to take its first flight later this year. The B-21 is expected in Ellsworth sometime around the middle of this decade.

Really?

This can bust B-21

when and where did that happen? I must have missed it.

If it was broadcasting on YouTube then 25% Chinese IP doesn't make sense

Remember EP3 back in 2001. Try it if u have any balls.
 
The US have flown many SIGINT sorties off China's coast since then. BALLS.
Well big difference between flown around and penetrate. Don't brag about it, try it and see. When was the last time American tried a decent air force. You can't fight China and pushing India and Australia to do you dirty job. Send few fighter aircraft with American pilots to Ukraine and see how tough you are?
 
It's much easier to wipe out "all" stealth aircrafts when they are standing still on a hanger. If any nation has enough missiles to wipe out all the hangers/airfields stealth becomes pointless. All it matters how many missiles and bombs you have.
Russia-Ukraine war has taught us one major thing - industrial capacity, logistics matters more than anything else now. US/Nato is barely able to keep up with the demand from Ukraine.

Lol sorry but USA has no balls. The cover ups in ukrain so russia don’t get angered. Shows the US is scared China would make the US very scared. Your buddy Taiwan is trembling because the US is just all talk. Comon raise those block 15 to modern standards buddy

This...there's video footage of a Chinese satellite tracking a F22 raptor mid flight. I believe Chinese will build upon and use similar tech to track and intercept any and all stealth aircrafts, particularly bombers from the moment they start rolling at their home bases.
 
The US has a military budget 3x the size of China's and still goes to this extent to convince itself that it can deter China.

China never talked about invading the US, you are arguing with yourself!
 
Like the Ukrainian Kolchuga that many here touted was going to be 'the end of stealth'. Vaporware.
I remember quite of few of those claims

if NATO has no weapons it should be easy to attack. Waiting for the attack
