๐จ๐บ๐ธ BREAKING: U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin discusses the B-21 Raider, the advanced replacement for the iconic B-2 bomber.๐จ๐บ๐ธ
Gen. Allvin: "The B-21 is the next evolution in strategic bombers โ offering superior stealth, deeper penetration into enemy airspace, and precision strike capabilities anywhere the President directs."
Reporter: "What came after the B-2?"
Gen. Allvin: "That would be the B-21. Itโs the natural next step โ improved stealth, enhanced delivery capabilities, and it's currently in its testing and early production stages. It's an outstanding platform and the successor to the B-2."
Reporter: "What can the B-21 do that the B-2 couldnโt?"
Gen. Allvin: "It can operate deeper into contested environments with greater survivability. Its advanced stealth makes it harder to detect, enabling precise, global strike capabilities โ what we call 'putting warheads on foreheads' โ anywhere required."
Reporter: "And alongside the B-21, you're also developing the F-47?"
Gen. Allvin: "Yes, that's correct."
Reporter: "Can you update us on the F-47 program?"
Gen. Allvin: "President Trump gave the green light this spring. After a competitive selection, Boeing was awarded the contract. The F-47 is now deep into the risk reduction phase โ testing new tech, concepts, and manufacturing processes. We aim to have a prototype flying within three years."
