Modern stealth aircraft today have no equal

The US Air Force's B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

The B-2 Spirit, developed by Northrop Grumman, is a stealth strategic bomber equipped with stealth technology, a multi-mission strategic bomber that carries conventional and smart-guided bombs as well as nuclear bombs. The B-2 Spirit is the most expensive aircraft ever produced: estimated costs for each aircraft are up to 2.13 billion USD. The operating cost of the B-2 Spirit is 130 thousand USD per flight hour at current prices.    The F-117 Nighthawk is a stealth bomber.

The F-117 is equipped with two General Electric F404-F1D2 engines with a thrust of 47 kN each. Thanks to that, it can move at a maximum speed of 1,100 km/h. The operating range of the F-117 is about 1,720 km. This aircraft is equipped with advanced stealth technology, making it difficult for enemy air defense radar systems to detect. Specifically, the material used to make the F-117's frame is made of carbon to minimize the ability to reflect radar waves, or convert radar waves into heat energy and cannot be reflected back.    PAK DA, also known as Poslannik, is Russia's newest strategic bomber.

Developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau to replace the aging Tu-95MS and Tu-160. Described as a sixth-generation bomber, the PAK DA incorporates stealth technology, has internal weapons bays, and is capable of supersonic flight without an afterburner. The sixth-generation aircraft is expected to be equipped with laser weapons, network-centric warfare capabilities, and an unmanned mode of flight thanks to advances in automation and control systems.    The H-20, known to observers as the JH-XX, is rumored to be a medium bomber with a combat radius of 1,000 to 2,000 miles, an internal weapons bay, and external hardpoints that could carry air-to-air missiles.

It is rumored to be about 100 feet long. By comparison, the F-22 is 62 feet long, and the H-20 is thought to have a range of 5,000 miles unrefueled.  The B-21 is considered the next generation of stealth bombers in the US, integrating advanced materials, propulsion systems and stealth technology, expected to replace or supplement the old B-52, B-1 and B-2 fleets of the US Air Force.

US Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said that the B-21 Raider is a subsonic stealth bomber. With an integrated wing and fuselage design and modern stealth coating, the B-21 Raider is expected to be able to bypass the most modern warning radars today. In addition, aerodynamic designs also improve the B-21 Raider's breakthrough ability and survival chances on the battlefield. Get out of the way I'm the final boss!
