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

#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.
