‘targets’, ‘strategic capability’, ‘defence’: so many different words for ‘killing people’. If people were more honest about what the point is, they wouldn’t seem quite so evil.
I think America is making a huge mistake with trying to purchase so many of these right off the bat. Right now the strongest and most capable part of our military is the Navy. Specifically our carriers and especially submarines. We have the new Gerald R. Ford class carriers being built right now, but our subs still require a huge amount of work. Our ballistic missile subs are over 40 years old, and the newest Virginia classes still have a lot of issues with the new digital systems. There are so many issues with our military across the board that I really think should be focused on getting fixed before implementing an entire new fleet and supporting infrastructure for an untested platform and frankly, outdated form of warfare.
Meanwhile Ukraine is sending cessna-sized kamakazie drones 1000km into Russia to bomb oil facilities. The B21 is overkill for Russian anti aircraft defenses.
The reason we don’t have universal health care is because we have too many fat people. Most of the cost of these is the cost of labor aka salaries for American workers. If we wanted universal healthcare that doesn’t cover obese people, we’d actually be perfectly fine.
China has the H-20 stealth bomber coming soon also. The B-2 actually is more powerful with better MTOW and weapons load but too expensive to make. They can make 3 x B21s for the price of one B2. The truth is all these weapons are a waste of time when you have severe healthcare, housing, national debt and political issues plaguing the whole country. The future won't be won with an arms race.
Crazy as it sounds. If you look at their budget they can actually afford both and still have money to spare. The U.S. is just stuck in a stupid self made either / or situation
In the US, corporations and billionaires have bought the politicians, so they set policy. Military Industrial wants these planes. The healthcare corporations like things the way they are. Couldn't really call it a democracy anymore.
@@Frizzleman I dont think any American *myself included* contests that the government likes to have the biggest stick and knows how to swing it.

0:08 "This mysterious airplane took flight for the first time". And at least a dozen people who saw it added one more "UFO" to their list of sightings. "I'm telling y'all, I saw it with my own two eyes! That ain't no airplane!"
All a UFO is, is an Unidentified Flying Object, so if anything in the sky hasn't been identified by the viewer, it is a UFO. So if someone saw this in the sky and didn't know what it was, then it is a UFO.
Something that might be useful to mention is that bombers in modern US doctrine act more as mobile cruise missile platforms, rather than traditional bombers. B-52s are completely non-survivable in a modern conflict, but if you mount air-launched cruise missiles on them, that becomes a lot less of a problems. Some ALCMs have ranges of over 1,000km and newer ones themselves even have stealth features. You can essentially fire cruise missiles from outside detection range, and the launching aircraft or missiles can be stealthy themselves.
Yes. They have also developed the ability to launch multiple missiles and even EW missiles by dropping a pallet of them off the back and then using a parracute to then drop many of them out of the pallet. A few planes with multiple pallets is going to creates LOTS of targets for their radars.
The B21 is actually a fairly bargain deal for such a prestigious aircraft. They’re actually coming in under budget and on time, which is the exact opposite of how the F35’s development took place. $700m for a stealth bomber is a good price when you consider a Boeing 787 is almost $250m

I agree with your sentiment, the decline we are seeing right now is not good, but that is what people voted for, and military spending is not optional, so when the elected politicians are utterly incompetent then the budget cuts affect the people, not the military. If you want to cut military spending then you're giving the likes of China the green light to invade, and trust me, communism is infinitely worse than the free market. Communism doesn't cut welfare and public spending simply because there is no welfare and public spending. So if you don't like it, I suggest you move to a country with less military spending so that you can understand why its important in the first place.

Those are two different philosophies for two very much distinct situations by two different players. Making a comparison as simple as that is pretty much pointless... Unless this is a joke and I don't have a good sense of humor... that too.
B-58 didn’t retired from service because of new technology. It was retired early because it was shit… Note: the so-called “new technology” was actually introduced 3 years before B-58 enter service… need an excuse to coverup the fact that the plane was shit I guess 🤷🏻♂️
As said above: R&D... But I believe that the costs of the planes that are made first is way higher than those following it (in principle). They should be constantly tested, modified and well maintained, which implies new infrastructure being build. Plus the production and assembly is much more costly at first as it's inefficient. I think the 200 Billion is the expected price of all the endeavor, while the 700 Million is the ultimate price of the planes without considering all the caveats. Maybe, I'm not a millitary expert...
Unit price vs life cycle cost of the program. The 700m is the cost of purchasing the aircraft. The 200B is the projected cost of running the entire program over however many years its planned on operating for, including fuel, parts, salaries, ammunition ect. It's like say buying a car for 20k, but over the 5 years you own it, you'll pay additional money to insure, run, maintain, ans upgrade it, overall coming to a cost much more than the original 20k you bought it for

and obviously if it’s China, then it’s not defence, its an ’invasion’
I think America is making a huge mistake with trying to purchase so many of these right off the bat. Right now the strongest and most capable part of our military is the Navy. Specifically our carriers and especially submarines. We have the new Gerald R. Ford class carriers being built right now, but our subs still require a huge amount of work.
Our ballistic missile subs are over 40 years old, and the newest Virginia classes still have a lot of issues with the new digital systems.
There are so many issues with our military across the board that I really think should be focused on getting fixed before implementing an entire new fleet and supporting infrastructure for an untested platform and frankly, outdated form of warfare.
You'll get some money back when you "sell" some to Australia. Ok they'll magically turn up here like the B2s, but that's a much longer video!
Meanwhile Ukraine is sending cessna-sized kamakazie drones 1000km into Russia to bomb oil facilities. The B21 is overkill for Russian anti aircraft defenses.
This is a disgusting us of money, the USA infrastructure is falling apart and people are broke.
stealth means overpriced , like how the F-117 Nighthawk got shot by a retired soviet air defense system in serbia

The reason we don’t have universal health care is because we have too many fat people. Most of the cost of these is the cost of labor aka salaries for American workers. If we wanted universal healthcare that doesn’t cover obese people, we’d actually be perfectly fine.

What about the Superfortress?

I'd really prefer if you're videos we're a little bit longer ...thanks
China has the H-20 stealth bomber coming soon also. The B-2 actually is more powerful with better MTOW and weapons load but too expensive to make. They can make 3 x B21s for the price of one B2. The truth is all these weapons are a waste of time when you have severe healthcare, housing, national debt and political issues plaguing the whole country. The future won't be won with an arms race.
How is $700 million times 100 $203 billion? $700 million times 100 is $70 billion!
Ironic every plane in China is an exact MERICAN COPY😂😂
The actual reason why they don't have universal healthcare 💀
Nah, not really

As a pilot, we are playing offense, not defense
The best defense is offense
So you admit to being a warmongering empire?
@@Frizzleman I dont think any American *myself included* contests that the government likes to have the biggest stick and knows how to swing it. Brutal truth is as much as I hate how my country spends its budget, Either party we vote for spends it the same way so no matter which way we vote nothing changes in terms of defense policy. I hope you know that a countries people doesn't equal the feeling of its government.
You must be a tree-hugging pacifist. I guess you never heard of shock and awe.
Yeahhh the US isn’t “playing offense”, it’s an empire. US foreign policy can best be compared to the machinations of organized crime. Except where the mob might dominate a neighborhood or a city, the mayonnaise mafia in control of the US has made a racket of the majority of the world

This is also good segment
0:08 "This mysterious airplane took flight for the first time".
And at least a dozen people who saw it added one more "UFO" to their list of sightings. "I'm telling y'all, I saw it with my own two eyes! That ain't no airplane!"
Was about to say the same. Isn't that the flying saucer ??
All a UFO is, is an Unidentified Flying Object, so if anything in the sky hasn't been identified by the viewer, it is a UFO. So if someone saw this in the sky and didn't know what it was, then it is a UFO.
wouldn't be surprised if a portion of UFO sightings was just the nation's air force testing out their newest toy
This kind of shape is around since the reveal of B-2A...😜🤣
The good thing is, nobody believes in "Believers"! Soo, Area 51, keep going!😉😎👍
"The B-21 is clearly inspired by the B-2" Probably because they were both made by Northrop Grumman? LOL
Something that might be useful to mention is that bombers in modern US doctrine act more as mobile cruise missile platforms, rather than traditional bombers. B-52s are completely non-survivable in a modern conflict, but if you mount air-launched cruise missiles on them, that becomes a lot less of a problems. Some ALCMs have ranges of over 1,000km and newer ones themselves even have stealth features. You can essentially fire cruise missiles from outside detection range, and the launching aircraft or missiles can be stealthy themselves.
Yes. They have also developed the ability to launch multiple missiles and even EW missiles by dropping a pallet of them off the back and then using a parracute to then drop many of them out of the pallet. A few planes with multiple pallets is going to creates LOTS of targets for their radars.
Would it be a more efficient way of launching glide-missiles for re-entry?
Can you mount enough cruise missiles on a stealth bomber though ?
The B21 is actually a fairly bargain deal for such a prestigious aircraft. They’re actually coming in under budget and on time, which is the exact opposite of how the F35’s development took place. $700m for a stealth bomber is a good price when you consider a Boeing 787 is almost $250m
A country where life expectancy is falling, people go hungry & many do not have access to health care. Yeah a bargain.

@@shakiMiki if it bothers you so much why don't you move to China or Russia?
I agree with your sentiment, the decline we are seeing right now is not good, but that is what people voted for, and military spending is not optional, so when the elected politicians are utterly incompetent then the budget cuts affect the people, not the military.
If you want to cut military spending then you're giving the likes of China the green light to invade, and trust me, communism is infinitely worse than the free market. Communism doesn't cut welfare and public spending simply because there is no welfare and public spending.
So if you don't like it, I suggest you move to a country with less military spending so that you can understand why its important in the first place.

Do one on Poland. Hear me out:
A once major power in Europe got taken off the map for over 100years, then subjugated for a long time until its people deposed communist rule.
Now they are on track to be Europe’s largest land army as they defend NATO on its eastern flank. Theyre proud of national hero’s like pope John Paul, Copernicus, Chopin, Mary Curie, jozef pilsudski, Witold Pilecki (the guy that broke into and back out of Auschwitz to provide intelligence to the Polish govt in exile).
They tried to form a regional block called Intermarium during the interwar period and they may be trying to do that again.
I'd love to see Poland dial down the nationalism and right-wing oriented politics. They could replace France and Germany as the leading force in europe in the long run.
Yes, but A the USSR is no more B the EU are more like them nowadays and C Poland gets the most money from the EU yet "hates them"
If you hate them sooooooooo much? LEAVE THEN, do what we did. But they won't because they're hypocrites 😊
@@hordegaming4771 I agree, they should leave EU behind.

Sorry but this plane is out of date. I think approx 40 years out of date. The B2 spirit was developed in the 80s.

we're publishing every 2 weeks this summer!
The fact that the Raider is being talked about, only mean there’s something scarier in the shadows, lurking, buying it’s time until it goes DOWN!
Maybe I’m missing something but how does 100 planes times $700M per plane come to $203B?
R&D costs before they actually start producing the actual planes.
As said above: R&D...
But I believe that the costs of the planes that are made first is way higher than those following it (in principle). They should be constantly tested, modified and well maintained, which implies new infrastructure being build.
Plus the production and assembly is much more costly at first as it's inefficient.
I think the 200 Billion is the expected price of all the endeavor, while the 700 Million is the ultimate price of the planes without considering all the caveats.
Maybe, I'm not a millitary expert...
Unit price vs life cycle cost of the program. The 700m is the cost of purchasing the aircraft. The 200B is the projected cost of running the entire program over however many years its planned on operating for, including fuel, parts, salaries, ammunition ect. It's like say buying a car for 20k, but over the 5 years you own it, you'll pay additional money to insure, run, maintain, ans upgrade it, overall coming to a cost much more than the original 20k you bought it for
@@shaneben8745I always hated how people talk about what it “costs” and used that as a way to protest a military program. They include everything yet we never do it for a building. It’s called upkeep/running costs. It’s odd to me. everything you said it true.
R&D costs,adjusting facilities,maintenance
Great, more useless posturing and military spending. God I’m so sick of this waste of money and time from our government.
Useless? To who? Don't like it move to europe for your socialist paradise
Exactly what I said, propaganda for the US military.
Yup a military aircraft. What did you expect.. they could have used that to make supersonic travel affordable and commonplace but nope America wants to have the biggest guns.

Just one more car lane...
Thing is they are capable of doing both this and health/ infra ect . They actually have the budget. They're just stuck in a self made either/or situation.
