Recently, the discussion about the B-21 "Raider" ** bomber has become more and more intense, and some so-called "military enthusiasts" even claim that this new bomber can freely enter and exit China's airspace and carry out bombing missions, while China cannot effectively intercept it. However, is this really the case?
First of all, we need to be clear about the fact that the B-21 Raider ** bomber, although the United States has high hopes, is not a "myth" that cannot be discovered. When the American side advertised the bomber, although it emphasized its powerful performance, it remained a mystery about the specific technical details. This led some to expect too much from the performance of the B-21 Raider.
In fact, judging by the published information, the performance of the B-21 "Raider" compared to its predecessor, the B-2 "Phantom" ** bomber, did not make much of a breakthrough. As a strategic bomber, its main function is to deliver ammunition. However, in terms of ammunition delivery capabilities, the B-21 "Raider" did not show significant superiority.
In addition, there is a misunderstanding about the statement that the B-21 "Raiders" are moving freely in our airspace. Whether it is a strategic bomber or other types of military equipment, its combat effectiveness needs to rely on logistical support and intelligence support. And in this regard, our country has already established a well-developed air defense system, and it is impossible to allow enemy bombers to act unscrupulously in our airspace.
Looking back at history, we can see that similar rhetoric occurred during the Cold War. At that time, the British Aveiro "Vulcan" strategic bomber was also given extremely high expectations, but in actual combat, its performance was not as expected. This also reminds us that when evaluating a piece of military equipment, we should not just stop at theoretical analysis, but should make judgments in light of the actual situation.
In short, although the B-21 "Raider" ** bomber has a certain threat, it is not impossible to intercept by our country. In the face of such remarks, we must remain calm, look rationally, and not be swayed by excessive panic.
