  • B-21 Raider Takes First Flight as US Air Force Accelerates Bomber Testing
    June 15, 2026, 4:52 PM EDT. The U.S. Air Force has merged developmental and operational testing for the B-21 Raider, its new stealth bomber designed for nuclear and conventional missions. An operational and developmental test pilot flew the B-21 together, marking an unprecedented early collaboration in test phases. This approach aims to accelerate evaluation of the bomber's combat utility, mission systems, and weapons integration ahead of planned deployment alongside the B-52 fleet. The Air Force expects to field at least 100 B-21s, with Ellsworth AFB becoming the main hub. Officials say this testing strategy embodies a "smarter and faster mindset" to meet urgent modernization needs. The program is advancing towards real mission testing, although detailed flight performance data remains undisclosed.
