B-2 Spirit successful release JASSM-ER in test !

B-2 Spirit successful release of a Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range or JASSM-ER missile during a flight test.

This will likely pave way for the stealth bomber to one day carry the potent cruise missiles in combat, according to a Northrop Grumman executive.

The first release of the JASSM-ER from the B-2 marked the culmination of a series of five flight tests at Palmdale, California, that took place from August through December 2021, Shaugnessy Reynolds, vice president and B-2 program manager for Northrop Grumman, told Defense News in an interview.

In this video Defense Updates analyzes what happens when JASSM-ER gets integrated into a B-2 Spirit?

Imagine what US tech may be top secret right now, the F-117 was developed during the 70s and only declassified much later

[ltitus]

My favorite detail about the B2 is how far back the pilots sit. Most of that aircraft is classified however, that little detail shows how deep they go into the details. You cannot see them from any angle. Freaking awesome.

Take notes Russia
This is how you make proper weapons
The JASSM is fully integrated on US bombers as well F-15E, F-16s and F-18s and does not require any sort special changes to the missile

Russia is not a 'near-peer rival" to the US. The Russo-Ukrainian war has shown this.

[teddy.d]

Please stop calling Russia a “near peer” rival, it’s obvious that they aren’t.

[craigkdillon]

What amazes me about the US military is how many acronyms they can come up with using only the Latin alphabet.

[NinjaKiller]

Russia is no “Near Peer” rival anymore, and now I’m starting to find that China’s “Near Perr” status kinda suspect, in light of now the Russians military equipment has fared.

[Shannon_Lacey]

They should have figured out a way to make the acronym JISSM-ER, as it would have sounded SO much more commanding over our enemies! Tell our enemies to back off, or we will throw some JIS! 😂

[davidcooper]

I appreciate your super enunciation and factual presentation style.
As an observation. The B-2's is fuselage and wing(s) integrated into a single unit.
That's why it's called The Flying Wing.
Keep up the good work ! ! !

B2 looks like something designed by aliens.

[caseylimbert]

Why don't they just call it the "jazzimer" instead of spelling out every letter? They do that with lots of other bombs and missiles

[leeofallon]

Assuming unclassified, if indeed part of the release test of JASSM-ER, did the “call forwarding” feature pass muster? That surely must be assigned a high priority!

[oneshotme]

Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[LimousineIndianapol]

Russia is the second most powerful military Ukraine! 😆

[BlkJackStalks]

Imagine standing on your porch with baseball field ahead of you lights in the sky game just over and you see a hot air balloon black hot air balloon Rising from the horizon and before you realize it the thing is over your head like a black shadow gone yeah I saw that

[auro]

why not turn this jassm-er into a ballistic and cruise missile hybrid?

[gutstompenrocker]

I'll be more impressed when I hear the B-21 released one.

[johnnyd]

One of these B2s was shot down by the Serbians using obsolete SAM system 20 years ago... Spirit of Missouri to be precise. Luckily for us, it fell to neighboring Croatia field and was scooped up by our boys stationed in Bosnian town of Tuzla. Haven't you heard about this.? Of course not... ;o)

[rycriswell]

The USA should make aircraft carriers that launch B21 raiders even B52 Stratofortress s

[conanobrian]

Can't wait to see what commununists Hugh mungus propaganda trolling will be about this
