Some newly released photos show the sixth-generation B-21 Raider bomber in a hangar; another in the ascent phase in April 2024 and a third, taken in January, shows it flying above the clouds.

Edwards Air Force Base, in a statement, said the "Raider continues to make progress toward becoming the backbone of the USAF's bomber fleet."

Even during the first flight of the latest bomber in November 2023, no official photos were released, apparently to keep the technical details of the aircraft, which is being developed by defense company Northrop Grumman, secret.

Now, as flight tests continue, the US military is releasing photos of the bomber, without revealing technical details.

The B-21 Raider is intended to be the backbone of the USAF bomber fleet. A look at the upgraded B-21 reveals that its side view is reminiscent of the B2-Spirit, with the nose of the B-21 being much thinner. The small, trapezoidal cockpit windows and flat glass likely limit the pilots' field of vision, as reported by Flugrevue magazine.

Its shape and clothing make the bomber nearly invisible. The test model, coded AF 0001, has fins on top that direct air to the engines, while the engines are deep in the fuselage, making them difficult to detect by enemy radars.

The B-21 was designed as a stealth bomber with a special skin that made detection difficult. The bomber's surfaces are designed so that radar beams are almost non-reflective, allowing for surprise attacks and undetected reconnaissance flights.

According to "Aviation Week" estimates, the B-21 bomber will have a wingspan of 40 meters, a length of 16 meters, will be able to carry a weapons load weighing 9100 kilograms and develop a maximum speed of almost 1000 km/h.

The B-21 Raider is said to be designed to operate "in a high-threat environment" and can drop conventional and nuclear munitions. The USAF plans to enter service with the B-21 in the "mid-2020s", with at least 100 such bombers expected to be delivered to the US Air Force.
