Until recently, the United States has been keeping information about its newest strategic bomber, the B-21 Raider, strictly secret. This aircraft is being developed by Northrop Grumman for the US Air Force as part of the implementation of the "long-range strike bomber" program.
Although the manufacturing company has already published a fairly large number of official photos of the aircraft, the US military is still trying to hide the design of the tail section of the aircraft. There are engine nozzles and aerodynamic aircraft control planes. Probably, the Pentagon believes that interested persons can get more information from the photos of the back than they can disclose.
Recently, a photo of the tail section of the bomber appeared on the Internet. This is the first such frame published in the public domain. Apparently, the photo was taken and posted on the Internet by one of the people who had access to the plane and came from behind to the platform where he was standing to take a picture of him.

Recall that the first prototype of the aircraft was shown to the general public on December 2, 2022, in front of the US Air Force Assembly Complex No. 42 in Palmdale, California. As for the first official images of the bomber, they appeared on January 31, 2020. Then the aircraft manufacturer Northrop Grumman published images of the B-21 Raider created by the artist.
