The B-21 is a long-range, highly survivable, penetrating strike stealth bomber that will incrementally replace the B-1 and B-2 bombers and will play a major role supporting national security objectives and assuring U.S. allies and partners across the globe.
First a bitch and a gripe. Why do we continue to use the "assure/reassure US allies and partners around the globe"? The US hasn't been structured to handle two major crises much less wars! We've just depleted our stockpile and we can barely man all our outposts around the world! I won't even talk about the budget implications when we're supporting an entire continent with a bigger GDP than we have, a bigger population and a military sector that builds competing systems.
Next is the question. The B-21 is replacing the B-1 and B-2? So the B-52 is really gonna soldier on? WTF!!! Is that airplane made of vibranium or something? Why would you keep that and throw away a stealth or semi-stealth supersonic airplane? I just don't get it.
