Simeonjoe1:Please tell us how you want Russia and China to design their stealth planes since you are a stealth expert. May be they should design a plane that lookss like football or wheel barrow. When Russia or China come up with what they don't expect then their technology has been copied. |

obedience4:Your question was "before the b2 has there be any bomber developed or in development using the B2 spirit wing design and frame??" and I answered. But as usual, you have reported to shifting the post to talking about stealth and production aircraft and not prototypes, even though you asked for production aircraft or prototypes. Well, in terms of stealth, the German Ho 229 was stealthy.

dermmy:Baba it's so clear to see naw? Look at j31 look at F35, swear there's no copy. |

shoodboi2:Common man, a plane that never made it to production is stealthy. A plane that took its first flight in 1 March 1944 is stealthy which radar was it tested on, when modern airforce are still grasping with stealth technology, when present day Germany dosent have a stealthy bomber yet. |

shoodboi2:Yes the B2 pretty copied the flying wing concept design here. |

dermmy:. Well I understand this your view point. Stealth planes has a peculiarities on how they can be designed. But still on still, in the 80s when Russia was matching up to the f15 they came up with a peculiar design that still match compete to f15 in times of speed and haulage which is beautiful in its own way. But common look at the sukhoi, look at the Chinese Fc31 and J20 do it look as if there's any attempt on making it peculiarly different from western design while still maintaining its Stealth characteristics? F115 night hawk design is quite different from the B2 even though they a both flying wing concept. F35 fuselage is different from the F22. But how come does the J35 looks more like an F35 than even a F22 raptor? And you say no be design copy. |

⚡ U.S. Congress Report: Key findings from the document: ▪️ Beijing has already neutralized U.S. military superiority in the western Pacific and is preparing to attack Taiwan by 2027. ▪️ The main goal of the U.S. is to contain China, as even without war, a blockade of Taiwan would result in a $5 trillion loss. ▪️ The threat from Russia is described as constant. Russia is increasing its combat power and possesses the world's largest nuclear arsenal. ▪️ Russian control over Ukraine would pose a threat to NATO, as Russia's border would stretch from the Arctic to the Black Sea. ▪️ The only effective course of action is to increase aid to Ukraine and permit the use of weapons against targets in Russia. ▪️ The U.S. cannot counter China and Russia alone, making alliances like NATO and AUKUS crucial. ▪️ If Russia achieves its goals in Ukraine, China and Russia will simultaneously apply pressure on two fronts, which the U.S. cannot withstand. ▪️ In the event of Russia's failure in Ukraine, U.S. allies will be able to contain China's aggression and force it to reconsider its plans for Taiwan.

obedience4:You are rambling at this point. Now, we have gone from stealthy to prototype and to now, radar. Radar has been available since 1935. If you are concerned about the rader they tested it on, then maybe you should ask the US government that stole the Horton Ho 229 after world war 2 and took it to the US. |

⚡Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim strongly criticized Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, for removing his posts related to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. "You are instruments of the oppressive Zionist Israeli regime. Cease this display of cowardice!" He stated that it was unreasonable for Meta to consider posts honoring a fighter striving to liberate his homeland from oppression as dangerous. Malaysia demanded an explanation and urged Meta to apologize. This is not the first time Meta has removed Anwar's posts related to Hamas.

Simeonjoe1:But I'll still to add that the flying wing concept is not an entirely German brainwork. In fact the flying wing concept has been in development decades before the Germans conceived theirs. US Northrop Grumman developers of B2 has been practicing with the flying wing concept long before the Germans. In the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s they've developed various variant of the N-1M, N-9M, YB 35/49 which all these later contributes into B2 Spirit development. Attached below are pictures. Decades of development is what help them to win the contract against formidable defense contractors, the reason why they also won the new B21 raider Stealth bomber contract. We we can safely say the flying wing stealth concept is an indigenous America design, perfected over the years, this is not negating if similar concept has been developed in other countries like the German Horten Ho 229. But what obedience2 is trying to say, unlike the German whose main reason for developing the H2 is for greater payload and not because of Stealth, same with earlier Northrop flying wing designs. Northrop revolutionize the concept of flying incorporating not only larger payload with reduce drag but also Stealth components of flying wing.

⚡This is how Turkish Intelligence (MIT) orchestrated the largest prisoner swap Since WWII. Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) conducted a major prisoner swap operation, the largest exchange operation since World War II. The operation began when the US, Russia, and Germany requested Türkiye's assistance. Türkiye was chosen due to its fair and constructive policy in the Russia-Ukraine war and past successes in mediation. MIT officials frequently met with involved parties. MIT Chief Ibrahim Kalın had multiple face-to-face and phone conversations with counterparts. MIT resolved parties' concerns, disagreements, and demands through fair and constructive solutions. Execution of the Operation: Took place on August 1st at Ankara Esenboğa Airport. MIT ensured necessary security measures without disrupting regular airport operations. The swap began at 16.05 with the arrival of the first plane from Slovenia. Involved planes from Slovenia, Norway, Russia, Germany, and the US. 26 individuals were exchanged in total. Russia received 10 individuals and handed over 16. MIT oversaw mutual confirmation processes and health checks. 10 individuals boarded a Russian plane to Moscow. 3 individuals boarded a US plane to Washington. 13 individuals boarded a German plane. The operation ended successfully with the departure of all three planes.

shoodboi2:.. Well was Ho229 the first stealthy bomber made? Northrop spent thousands of dollars to proof that claim using an exact replica. The result? Ho229 offers no Stealth advantage than the traditional German bombers back then. An early warning WW2 British rader could easily spot the H2 same as would of any bomber back then. |
