The JSOW-ER (AGM-154-ER) has been tested and is powered. it will be carried by the B-2 and B-1B and others.

It will have a range of 300 nmi.

Also the POD is carrie now by the B-2, which is not listed above.

I expet the LRASM will also be carried.

The weaons I am showing in my model are meant to be representative of the JSOW or the JASSM. I did not have exact models of them. Anyhow, I have the rotary launcher of one bombay fitted out with them.

In 2004 the configured the bomb racks to carry up to 80 JDAM weapons in each B-2 if desired.

Anyhow...the B-2 is extremely stealthy...highest level stealth robably of any US aircraft to date...but very expensive.

Would have been much cheaper had they built 80-100 of them...but ll w got was 21...and now have 20.

The new B-21 will be very similar but more modern with even better stealth.

Estimated to - 20 dBsm or 0.01 m2 frontal F-35 is to 0.001, F-22 0.0001 , F-117 0.1 ... B-2 don't have vertical drifts but more large
I suspect for B-21 ofc USAF want reach an inferior RCS but with also active system for stealth by example plasma some had says B-2 have ???
