There are six B-21 Raider stealth bombers currently completed or under construction. They will soon be starting flight tests.
The B-21 Stealth Bomber is smaller than the B-2 Stealth Bomber and uses updated engines. It uses 4 decades of advancement in stealth materials since the B-2 was made. The stealth coatings are lighter versions of radar absorbing material.

Only 19 B-2 Stealth Bombers are in operation. The US Air Force plan it to make 100 B-21 Stealth Bombers and possibly make up to 200. The new bombers will work with a new generation of wingmen drones. Wingmen drones will drones that are as large and fast as piloted aircraft but will be unmanned.
If there was the breakout of another new war that directly involved the United States, then the earliest the B-21 could be rushed into service would be in 2-4 years. A normal pace of development and operationalization is about 5 years in 2029.

The B2 and the B21 are my design. Their just design thieves.
They should make sure they built enough of them to retire all the other bombers.
To little to late. When all of our enemies attack at once and our elite politicians run up the white flag in order to bargain for positions in the new world order. We the people needed you to not build a China and other forces to attack us 50 years later. How so unbelievably stupid can you be.
