Reading the article as well, as comments above here re the unmanned wingman being axed....
Interesting qoutes from article
'The Air Force isn’t looking to buy more than 100
B-21s because it may come up with something better by the time all those aircraft are built, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin told the Senate Armed Services Committee on April 16.'
'Allvin did not elaborate on what other technologies the Air Force is considering to “augment” the B-21 force.'
So what else is bubbling underneath then I wonder ....more importantly has something been developed in parallel...
cheers
