US Air Force Unveils First-Ever Overhead Image of B-21 Raider

The U.S. Air Force has released new photographs of the B-21 Raider, including the first-ever direct overhead view of the next-generation stealth bomber. The images were captured during a flight test in May at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Built by Northrop Grumman, the B-21 is a high-tech, long-range strategic bomber designed to penetrate advanced air defenses. This new perspective provides a clearer look at the aircraft's blended-wing design, which is critical to its stealth capabilities. The program continues to progress through its testing phase as it prepares to eventually replace the B-1 and B-2 bomber fleets.
