The futuristic warplane B-21 Raider is moving closer to becoming the nation's next nuclear stealth bomber. The B-21 Raider began flight testing at Edwards Air Force Base in California as the plane progresses toward becoming “the backbone” of the US Air Force bomber fleet, the Air Force said. The Air Force plans to build 100 of the warplanes, which have a flying wing shape like their predecessor, the B-2 Spirit, but with advanced materials, propulsion and stealth technology. "Fifty years of advances in low-observable technology have gone into this aircraft,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said. “The most sophisticated air-defense systems will struggle to detect a B-21.” The B-21 Raider is the first new American bomber aircraft in over 30 years—almost every aspect of the program is classified, as efforts focus on preventing China from building a similar version. https://ow.ly/YOBz50RYIyy

United States Air Force News: Pentagon OKs B-21 for low-rate production after successful tests For the first time in a generation, the B-21 Raider will be making its way into use after receiving the final approvals. The Air Force has produced a stealth bomber-- "a sleek , highly capable weapon the service hopes will be so deadly it would force leaders in China and Russia to rethink wards for decades to come." This new vessel had been purposely designed to carry out deep strike missions, as well as carry both conventional and nuclear weapons. It is said that the B-21 will be taking flight in the mid 2020's, and eventually take over the use of all B-1B Lancer and B2 Spirit by the 2030's. With the seriousness that has come with testing and manufacturing the B-21 bomber, over the next 30 years it has been projected this program itself would expect to cost up to 2023 billion dollars. Individually, each bomber (striving to product about 6) is projected to cost roughly around 692 million dollars. Keep a lookout for more information on the production of B-21's, as the updated articles on the matter can be found below: Additional Source: Additional Source: https://lnkd.in/eSHhHFBD Main Article: https://lnkd.in/eSHhHFBD

Air Raid Drills and Duck-and-Cover: Civil Air Defense in Classrooms during the 1960s The 1960s were a decade of heightened tensions and Cold War anxieties, as the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a nuclear arms race that threatened global security. In response to the perceived threat of nuclear attack, civil defense measures were implemented across the United States, including in classrooms. This essay explores the practice of civil air defense in classrooms during the 1960s, examining the drills, procedures, and psychological impact on students and educators as they prepared for the possibility of nuclear conflict. I. The Cold War Context: Fear of Nuclear Annihilation

Defence studies association,JNU is back with yet another exciting talk . The topic of our talk is the Air Power lessons from recent wars The talk will cover important issues such as the importance of technology innovation in Air Power in the context of recent wars. It will explore the growing importance to strengthen the Air Defense capabilities in the context of recent wars. The role of Air Power assumes significance because Air Power can completely alter the nature of any conflict in warfare. This would deeply enrich the knowledge of the participants in studying importance and different facets of Air Power. The importance of technological innovation in the realm of Air Power. The role of Artificial intelligence in enhancing Air Power capabilities. Our speaker for the talk needs no introduction. Air Marshal Rajesh Kumar (Retd)was the former Commander in Chief Strategic forces command and Air Officer Commanding in Chief, Central Air Command. Air Marshal Rajesh Kumar has been involved with the strategic forces while in service and has published articles in journals at the Centre for Air Power Studies with an emphasis on nuclear policy.

I am happy to share that I have completed a course, "Missile Technologies in Southern Asia". The course provides a valuable insight into various missile technologies. The key take aways from this course includes, difference between ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, BMD systems, acquisition of missile technologies by states based on their respective doctrines, missiles and their impact on deterrence stability in Southern Asia, and understanding the whys and hows of missile technologies demand the skillsets of both military and civilian leaders. As one analyst reportedly reminded a senior officer, "General, I have fought just as many nuclear wars as you have". Thanks, "The Stimson Center" for providing a valuable platform.

🔍 Did you know? The U.S. Army once deployed one of the most unusual and controversial tactical nuclear weapons during the Cold War—the M28/M29 Davy Crockett. 💥 In the early 1960s, soldiers were equipped with this recoilless rifle system, capable of launching the M388 nuclear projectile with a W54 warhead, mounted on jeeps like the Willys M38 or M151 MUTT. While it was a marvel of engineering, its range was dangerously short, with the M28 reaching about 1.25 miles and the M29 up to 2.5 miles. ❗ Despite its innovative design, the Davy Crockett was phased out by the late '60s due to its limited accuracy and the inherent risks of deploying such a weapon so close to the battlefield. It serves as a powerful reminder of the lengths to which nations went during the Cold War to maintain a tactical edge. 📰 Read more about the Davy Crockett and its role in Cold War history: (https://lnkd.in/gfqv7-UU) #MilitaryHistory #ColdWar #USArmy #NuclearWeapons #EngineeringInnovation

On June 24, 1993, in compliance with the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (AMARC) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, began the destruction of 363 Boeing B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers.The START treaty, signed in 1991, mandated significant reductions in the nuclear arsenals of both the U.S. and the Soviet Union. As part of this agreement, the U.S. was required to decommission and dismantle a substantial portion of its B-52 bomber fleet, which had served as a critical component of America's nuclear deterrence strategy during the Cold War. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #coldwar #arizona #usa #nuclear #deterrence
