The B-21 Raider.
The Raider looks like it is about the same size as the B-2 Spirit. The engines are different and the carriage underbelly appears smaller. Control surfaces seem more buried.
The aircraft is likely to meet the same mission requirements as the B-2.

Merry Christmas.
If you are a John Boyd fan, then 2023 is going to be a year where you will want to go back and revisit everything you thought you knew about Mister OODA Loop.

This is a prime example of garbage analysis and stutter-speak and a nationalist bias which does not objectively address either air power, the technological shift, geopolitics and the political matrices involved.
This is something that afflicts many think tankers, like this imbecile "guest", but to be specific to the problem, none of these idiots thinks CONCRETELY as to how for example weather affects an air force like the RAF, or how land geography dictates hardware as much as weather does, or how the political guidance changes what one wants as opposed to what one can do.
As an example of human decision making, the RAF leadership's failure to address near earth orbit problems or in the American air forces (multiples of these) the needless and endless duplications of roles missions and means that saps and duplicates and mutually interferres with the ability to FIGHT.
The British think tanker never figures out what the Italian / German host tries to pull out of her.
Space mindedness is NOT different from navies and air forces in mindedness either in theory or practice. The same macros (see next) which govern use and denial are applicable to the "domain" or as an operationalist would describe it, as an operational parameters zone *(battlespace in Plain English).
a. You want to use it for yourself and deny it to others. b. Use is trade, transit, and exploitation of accessible resources with the subsets of recon and information. c. Denial is, of course, preventing others from accomplishing b.; with the subsets of blockade, forcible removal and destruction of competitor means. d. Effects, characterists, and outcomes are determined by: weather, boundaries, operator endurance, operator means, time in presence, actual presence, and political will as measured by the ability to use and deny versus the costs to operate.
IOW, warfare is dependent on the above; whether it happens, who it happens to; and how, when, where, why and WHAT is available to fight.
The Italian German host gets it. The British think tanker does not.
