The B-21 Raider is unveiled during a ceremony at Northrop Grumman's Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, December 2, 2022. - The high-tech stealth bomber can carry nuclear and conventional weapons and is designed to be able to fly without a crew on board. The B-21 -- which is on track to cost nearly $700 million per plane and is the first new US bomber in decades -- will gradually replace the B-1 and B-2 aircraft, which first flew during the Cold War.
"The real differences are inside of the platform, because you can think about how much digital technology has progressed since the time we built the B-2 and the time we built the B-21," Kathy Warden, Northrop Grumman's president and chief executive officerThe aircraft unveiled Friday will begin initial flight testing at Edwards AFB in California with its first flight forecast to take place in mid-2023.
I know the Biden administration needs some positive PR but they should never make important military hardware available for public view. Just announce it and move on.

Where's the money tho?
For $2B there are no secrets…
It’s solar powered right? Asking for the gutless so-called environmentalists whose faith magically stops at certain doorsteps.
$692 million per B21, while in peacetime. War truly is profitable.
