Air Force’s B-1B Upgrade Push Fuels Fresh Debate Over B-21 Raider Speed and Spending

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 19:25 ET A defense commentary published this week put a spotlight on the U.S. Air Force’s plan to keep the B-1B Lancer relevant through upgrades while it transitions to the B-21 Raider stealth bomber.

Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) heads into the Christmas holiday with investors focused less on day-to-day trading (U.S. markets are closed on December 25) and more on a late‑2025 sequence of contracts, acquisitions, and defense-focused expansion moves that have reshaped the company’s narrative.
