B-21 Raider sixth-generation stealth bomber captured in Mojave video as Northrop Grumman accelerates testing and production

New video appears to show a B-21 Raider test aircraft, reportedly nicknamed Cerberus, departing Edwards Air Force Base and flying over California's Mojave Desert. The sighting provides another public indication that Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force are expanding the stealth bomber's flight-test activity while low-rate production continues in parallel. The footage does not identify the sortie's objectives or reveal classified performance data, but it documents a visible step in the program's transition from a single test aircraft toward a broader test and production fleet.
