erm, why are we still using 50s technology for our most important missions?

this plane is literally from before black people got the vote

>>508213796 (OP)
The B2 was introduced in 1997 retard.

>>508213922
I didn’t know black people couldnt vote until 1998! Fucking millennials sold this country out they should have fought harder against black people getting the vote

that was the u-2 not the b-2

>Amerimutt's cutting edge tech is almost 30 years old now

DEI really destroyed our ability to invent anything new, didn't it?

>>508213796 (OP)
.....

>>508213796 (OP)
Now it's cutting-edge.

>>508213796 (OP)
The B2 was on the drawing board in the mid 1970s and about 10 years later prototypes flying out of Area 51 for test flights, it didn't go into production until 1988? Or early 1990s

>>508214058
for a nucklear bomber, thats passing age, since no one has a newer one. they cost a lot and production/development stopped after cold war. There isnt a more modern one that isnt just prototype or concept.

>>508214058
The B-21 Raider, the successor to the B2 just entered service in 2023.

Here i did a few colors

>>508213922
Introduced to the public, it was around earlier than that

>>508213796 (OP)
Guam, sir?

>>508214145
true but hes right too, we are using old tech. why? because the new stuff is still secret

Nazi german scientists died, so its all kaput now.

>>508214343
That's the date it officially entered service, it was introduced to the public the year prior when photographs of the test flights were captured near area 51. You can read about it on the internet, the thing you're using and being wrong on.

That's not the Stratofortress, but anyways. If stuff works then it works and it's like this for every other country as well.

Just a decoy, America is going to throw a Rod of God from space

>>508214513
no one keeps anything secret, first since Chinese have direct access to pentagon HDDs , and second since those weapons point is to detering war. No one plans to "appear weak to make enemy nucklear strike them".

>erm
I sincerely hope you kill yourself for typing that out. Even if it was ironic.

I know this is a bait thread. But just in case anyone is interested:

It depends what technology. The weapons, avionics, engines, stealth coating, and software are regularly upgraded. The airframes holding all this shit are all about 30 years old.

daily reminder that Trump already got the call from Tel Aviv to send in the american goyim to die for israel while the IDF hide in their bunkers

best part is the evangelical goys will eat this shit up

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
B-52s are literally from the 50s and we fly them all the time

You've never seen a stealth bomber in flight.
You would literally shit bricks.

That plane cat hit a traffic cone with a dumb bomb from 50k feet in the air.

>>508213796 (OP)
If you haven’t noticed, our engineering has gone to shit since the 50s along with our average IQ. See Boeing.

>>508213796 (OP)
The platforms are just old but the actual tech inside and performance specs change quite often.

>>508214058
It is mainly due to the lack of a near-peer rival after the USSR collapsed.
A big part of the reason Desert Storm went so well was that we had huge stockpiles of fresh weapons and men built and trained to fight the Soviets.
