What the public does know is that the B-21 is built with a new generation of stealth technology designed to evade the most sophisticated radars. Austin touted the fact that “50 years of advances in low-observable technology have gone into this aircraft.”

“Even the most sophisticated air-defense systems will struggle to detect a B-21 in the sky,” he said.

The bomber is designed to penetrate enemy air defenses and reach targets anywhere in the world — something only about 10 percent of the current bomber force can do, according to Northrop. The B-21 is more efficient than any other long-range bomber in the world, Austin said, noting that “it won’t need to be based in-theater, and it won’t need logistical support to hold any target at risk.”
