US Air Force's secretive $600 million B-21 Raider stealth bomber with blade-like wings designed for carrying out precise H-bomb strikes is revealed in new artist renderings

[MAIL] Artistic renders have revealed the US Air Force's top secret $600 million B-21 Raider stealth bomber.

The graphics, released by the US Air Force and manufacturer Northrop Grumman, show the B-21 Raider concept inserted into photos of three US hangars.

The long-range stealth bomber is expected to come into service in 2025 and will be capable of delivering conventional and theromonuclear weapons.

Thermonuclear bombs, or H-bombs, provide enormous explosive power resulting from chain reactions between isotopes of hydrogen under high temperatures.

The new aircraft will be able to drop thermonuclear bombs on surface targets with greater precision while avoiding detection.

#1 I would think precision is not really needed when you are dropping a hydrogen bomb

#2 Depends on the target. If it is buried and you have a small area that is weak or was hit first by a bunker buster to create a weak point you gotta be gnat on a fly's ass accurate.

#4 Yeah, Darth, like a small thermal port that's unshielded. Easy Peasy.

But it's impossible! Even for a computer!
