Ostaju u sluzbi do uvodjenja B-21
Air Force would keep B-1 bombers until B-21s arrive, under NDAA
Citat:Congress would press the pause button on the Air Force’s effort to retire B-1B Lancer bombers until the B-21 Raider replaces them under the fiscal 2022 National Defense Authorization Act.
As part of the compromise defense policy bill, which the House passed Tuesday and will next be taken up in the Senate, the Air Force would not be allowed to further reduce its fleet of B-1 bombers, except for units that have started fielding B-21s. This prohibition would last until the end of September 2023.
Northrop Grumman has already started building five B-21s, and they are expected to start being fielded in the mid-2020s, which would mean the B-1 fleet would stay at its current inventory of 45 in the near-term.
The NDAA would also prevent the Air Force from cutting personnel from units that operate or maintain B-1s, if those reductions would hurt the squadron’s capability.
The B-1 has been in particularly rough shape in recent decades as heavy operational deployments in the Middle East took their toll. The Air Force this year retired 17 of its oldest and most worn-out Lancers, to allow its maintainers to focus on keeping the remaining 45 bombers operating.
