The US Air Force Just Admitted AI Cannot Replace A 2nd Pilot On The B-21 Raider
The USAF isn't ready to go all-in on AI with its latest and greatest warbird.
The US Air Force expects its first sixth-generation stealth bomber to arrive on the ramp at Ellsworth Air Force Base in early 2027 to begin active duty with the strategic strike fleet. The Air Force Global Strike Command is working with Northrop Grumman to prepare the first examples of the revolutionary newB-21 Raider for initial operating capability next year. There remains much speculation about the nature of the new plane as precious little information has been released, along with a handful of photos that show it conducting test flights over the deserts of the Southwestern United States.
