So secret the Air Force won't even tell us what COLOR it is! New $750m B-21 Raider is shown in different lights at its release to obscure its true color - in bid to keep its stealthy coating a secret from China and Russia

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] This would be the plywood and styrafoam model.

The US Air Force appear to have gone to great lengths to hide the true color of their new stealth bomber using different lighting conditions amid growing threats from Russia and China

Earlier reports from the historic event have described the B-21 Raider to be a 'very light gray color' which experts have said is 'critical for its low observable capabilities' as it will likely be 'used during the day'

Images and footage of the futuristic aircraft show it doused in blue lighting, silhouetted and dimly lit appearing to obstruct the view of the secret 'hard-to-see coating' which will infiltrate Russia and China skies

This is the first time since 1988 that a stealth bomber has been revealed to the public since the B-2 Spirit - while the US originally planned to have a fleet of 132 B-2s, just 21 were ultimately purchased

Just days ago, the Pentagon released its annual report on China, which said the country has doubled its number of nuclear warheads in a fraction of the time the US expected it to

Meanwhile Russia have only just come to the table to 'negotiate' ending the war in Ukraine, as long as their demands are met in their second time in two days signaling they'd be open to resuming talks with Washington

#3 The usual suspects want it to be a huge failure. Just like the Artemis mission.

How's that BFR coming along?

#4 Gonna leave a tarp on until after take-off, or do we have a tunneled runway at the base of a dormant volcano?

#6 Zeppelins faded away in military history. The question is whether or not the B-21 is a massive boondoggle or not -- do we need to send a RBB (Really Big Bomber) instead of drones or missiles..? Especially when we will probably build fewer bombers than we have US states so they can hardly be risked in Peer V. Peer combat.
