USAF Reveals It Has Five New B-21 Strat Bombers in Production, Not Two as Originally Reported

The Air Force envisions the B-21 as its do-it-all long-range, next-gen stealth bomber, designed to carry both conventional and nuclear weapons. B-21s are expected to start replacing the US’s aging fleets of B-1B and B-2 bombers after becoming operational in the mid-2020s. The Air Force wants up to 200 of the $631 million apiece planes in total.
