    Sure, build it.

    Just remember that there isn't a need to go overboard and build thousands of them. Build enough to equip a few squadrons then maintain the ability to ramp up production if and when more are needed.

    Looks pretty stealthy.

    They increased the stealth of it for sure.

    kinda sorta hafta agree on this. Despite my conservative ways, i think it's a waste of money to build this. The billions spent on this thing would have yielded better fruit had you used it to hire mercenaries to kill islamic militants, and then hiring different mercenaries to kill the previous mercenaries, and then hiring different mercenaries...

    Just something to keep in mind.

    Unit cost from soup to nuts on the B2 ended up being $2.2 billion dollars (that is, spreading development cost evenly to each unit, rather than pretending it is somehow separate from the cost of the planes). With a "B". Each. And they built 21 of them.

    Google "fleet in being".

    Someone managed to crash one of the B2's once. Hopefully they don't have a "you break it, you buy it" policy.

    B-21 cost is currently projected closer to $1 billion each. Way to be frugal guys. Still too expensive to contemplate any of them being shot down.
