Meet the B-21 Raider

Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James announced today the B-21 bomber will be called the B-21 Raider. The name represents the historically important role the new long-range stealth bomber will lead for the next 50 years.

The name is a tribute to the sheer bravery and grit displayed by Jimmy Doolittle and the Doolittle Raiders during World War II; and the legacy will now be carried on by future Airmen. Assisting Secretary James on stage to announce the name was one of the original Doolittle Raiders, the last living Doolittle Raider, and Jimmy Doolittle’s co-pilot, 101-year-old Air Force Lt. Col. (ret.) Richard Cole.

What do the F-111, B-1, B-2 and B-21 have in common?

The B-52 will see them all come and go.

That was the most awesome plane I never on the video, it must have been invisible, the russians will never see it coming lol

0:12 That’d be great if he said the B-52 Stratofortress.

MY parents were Military R&D and I grew up on the Top Secret Grumman base in Calverton NY, where they made the F-14 Tomcat and other SAP, as the crew of Apollo 13 went there in 1971, because they gave the credit to the Bethpage Grumman because Calverton was Top Secret. but Calverton built the LM.and the "Long Island boys" from the movie were from Calverton NY.

Can’t wait to see the specs on this one

How much FREEDOM it delivers per strike (payload)?

Northeop Grumman can you please try and get the Australian Government and Air Force to buy a minimum of 24 B-21 Raiders! We have a need for them since the F-111 was retired back in 2010. We need a medium range bomber and a stealth one would be awesome.
