New B-21 Bomber Costs $700m per plane

The Air Force has released new pictures of its B-21 Raider - a nuclear-armed stealth bomber. The aircraft is the first new American bomber in more than 30 years and is one-of-six in production, according to USA Today.

The secretive aircraft has taken to the skies over California for testing and sleek new pictures show it in flight.

“The flight test program is proceeding well,” Andrew Hunter, assistant secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, said earlier this month, according to USA Today.

“It is doing what flight test programs are designed to do, which is helping us learn about the unique characteristics of this platform, but in a very, very effective way.”

I would prefer healthcare over constantly murdering brown people. But I’m an American so I have no choice.

Military spending doesn't come compare to healthcare spending - so that's not how the country works. Total national health expenditures reached $3.8 trillion in 2019, defense spending was only 731 billion. So, healthcare spending is over 5x defense spending. So even if you cut out ALL defense spending, which is not really possible, you wouldn't have the 'free' stuff you want.

The elites, the powers that be, will always continue to find new and improved ways to blow other people up. THE FACT is most people on the planet wish to live in peace with one another and be left alone. We need to help our veterans, homeless, elderly with so much and that so much is wasted in these expenses to blow one another up.

Considering the environmental impact, should innovative resources be directed towards military advancements or combating climate change?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Given the secrecy and cost of projects like the B-21 bomber, should the public have a say in military spending priorities?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you believe the advancement in military technology, such as the B-21 bomber, makes the world a safer or more dangerous place?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you feel about the government spending $700 million on each B-21 bomber when considering other areas like education and healthcare?
