Isn't the B-21 just an much more expensive version of a flying wing UCAV? Why not keep building more X-47Bs instead?

Because the B-21 can delete a target anywhere on the planet and there's nothing the seething third-worlders and israelites can do about it.
B-21 has less range than the B-2, which in turn had less range than the B-52 (the only true intercontinental strategic bomber in service with the USAF)
A B-21 operating out of the Land of the Rising Sun can delete every dam along the Yangtze River and return without the insects ever detecting it.
Sorry but chinese barbarian aggression will not be tolerated.
Are the Japanese airbases survivable to PLARF? Inb4 they're innacurate, look up the Iranian retaliation strikes on the US Al-Asad Air base since the Iranians developed their ballistic missiles with the help of the Chinese:
?si=--LhFB6mvIr-XzEO
>PLARF
Is the PLARF even survivable? Doesn't look like it, with all the top brass being gulag'd by Xi, and counterfeit US chips being found in the missiles. Also, they ARE inaccurate, evidenced by their spreg shooting of fish when Pelosi visited Taiwan. Now fuck off with your stupid fucking replies.
WHY IS XI FIRING ALL THE TOP BRASS IN THE ROCKET FORCE?
The same reason why Biden fired all those soldiers, officers and Generals who didn't want to take the COVID vaccine. To purge the military of political opponents and anyone who might not follow the party line.
So, you can't answer, just WHAT ABOUT MELICA? Straight from your fucking shilling directives. Are you new on the job? KEK.
Japan has a sizable air force and missile defense network of its own they're not going to just sit out any kind of attack on American bases on their soil
>they're not going to just sit out any kind of attack on American bases on their soil
Yokota is a joint air base, by the way. Good luck getting either Japan or the US to ignore that.
1. Japan has Patriots, so China's hypersonics are already cucked into uselessness.
2. By the time you launch the B-21 is in the air and your country is doomed.
There are not enough patriot missiles to deal with a saturation attack from PLARF, specially if there are PLAAF EW aircraft operating nearby with the excuse of "intimidating" Taiwan.
They have over 300 fighters 8 burke clones and their helicopter destroyers their own EW and AWACS plus whatever the US Korea and Taiwan has in the area at the time
There's plenty enough to get a B-21 in the air, which China can't track or intercept.
>specially if there are PLAAF EW aircraft operating
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You need at least MRBMs to strike air bases in Japan from mainland China, and PLARF doesn't have as many MRBMs as you think. Japan alone has hundreds to a thousand of BM interceptors (SM-3 and PAC3) online at any given moment.
You forgot SM-6, too.
>B-21 has less range than the B-2
No, it has more range. But this is all speculation at this point. Also, they all have the ability to in flight refuel, you inbred mutant.
>B-21 has less range than the B-2
With what, quantum space magic? As with the B-52 vs B-2 has proven that the flying wing design doesn't have a range advantage over conventional layout, and the B-21 is smaller than the B-2.
>With what, quantum space magic?
With better fuel fraction, aerodynamics, and more efficient engines, brainlet.
>As with the B-52 vs B-2 has proven that the flying wing design doesn't have a range advantage over conventional layout
B-52:
>fuel capsity: 312,197 lbs
>Combat range: 8,800 miles
>Payload: 70k lbs
B-2:
>fuel capsity: 167k lbs
>Combat range: 6,900 miles
> Payload: 50k lbs
So, the B-52 carries ~46% more fuel than the B-2 for a range increase of ~22%, and a payload increase of ~28%. Seems like the flying wing is much more efficient, while having the ability to penetrate highly defended combat zones. You seem to be extremely ignorant, and low IQ. The B-2 does this with stealth allowing it to get much, much closer to defended targets, as the B-52 lacks any type of RCS reduction, and has the RCS of a small moon. What good is the 33% in range if you can't utilize it at all?
>and the B-21 is smaller than the B-2.
And has two fewer engines that are much more efficient than the four F118s in the B-2. Why are you so ignorant? IS it an actual mental deficiency, or are you just acting retarded to le ebin troll? Acting retarded makes you retarded.
Also, in flight refueling is going to be done, no matter how much you want to cope it away.
>What good is the 33% in range if you can't utilize it at all?
22%*
>”jet engine tech hasn’t improved in the last 30+ years”
This is what you sound like
Not him but what kind of engines is the B-21 rocking? Do we know?
>I know all about this classified stealth aircraft and its range
meds
Different roles and different branches the B-21 is designed to replace the B-1 and B-2 fleet while being a cost effective stealth bomber the X-47 is a tech demonstrator for the navy
>le epic le cheap drone spam xD
Real life isn't a video game, kid.
>X-47 Neuron $80+ million each
>B-21 $700 million each
what does that extra dough get you
>longer range
>better broadband stealth
>better sensors
>30x the amount of ordnance(weight)
it's like comparing a bantam weight to a world class heavyweight
Is there anything that It can do better than a B-1B carrying JASSM?
yes. it won't be detected because its not 40 years old ancient plane tech... which means it will actually be able to drop its bombs...
Meanwhile, the amount of seething idiots who don't know about the unmanned drone refueling stuff thats been worked on for... decades at this point?
B-1B can launch the JASSM beyond the engament range of any enemy IADS whilst travelling way faster and have lower operating costs than the B-21
>I know the operating cost of B-21
sure timmy, sure
first the 40 year old piece of shit will need to be resurrected.
And then everyone will see it coming, dipshit.
"Gee whats that ancient piece of shit heading for?"
"Well lets put countermeasures in place since its going to launch something!"
Congrats. You just compared the shape of two planes and assumed they are the same in other regards. Fucking retard. By that logic, all fighter jets are the same because they are long pointy tubes with triangular wings. All cars are the same because they are boxes with 4 wheels. Develop a fucking brain.
>You just compared the shape of two planes and assumed they are the same in other regards.
They're not even the same shape. X47 is a cranked kite whereas the B2 and b21 are straight from nose to wingtip.
Because it drop nukes nigga
>What bomber missions still do require human presence in the air
Yeah Ivan, think hard about that
Why must thirdies spam the board
>hongdu
Chinese names be like
