Air Force begins lobbying for next trillion-dollar flying clusterfuck

With a reported cost pushing $550 million per unit, the B-21 is not expected to enter testing until 2025, which is still before the F-35 is scheduled to be operational. It is never expected to enter combat.
“You’re joking,” James said when asked about combat. “There’s no way you could risk this thing in the field. Have you seen the price tag?” “We’re building on the success of the Joint Strike Fighter program,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Mark Welsh. “The American people asked for more firepower. This aircraft delivers. It’s bigger, bolder, and blacker than the B-2, and with an impressive 500 pound payload, it can flatten an entire Taliban playground. And of course, it’s more versatile than the A-10. And, it will be built in all 50 states, American Samoa, and by prison labor at Guantanamo Bay,” he added. – Duffel Blog
