B-21?

Nope. B-21 has not left the ground yet and they hadn’t awarded a contract for it back in 2014 when this photo was taken

Thank you. That is not a B2.

B-2 on a training sortie

ParkerStanford@reddit

Doesn’t look like one at all

FR. They think it's possible to mistake the clear and iconic shape of the B-2 the shape of a literal flying triangle.

Nope, it just made it to wood mock up stage. You can go see it at the Ft Worth Aviation Museum, I took some pics of it when I was there last year.

Is the second photo an Ace Combat 6 screenshot?

Nope, it's official A-12 Avenger concept art, IIRC.

I think that's a B-2, bro.

TacTurtle@reddit

Angle is wrong, B-2 would be flatter.

RumSwizzle508@reddit

It looks like the front nose angle is a little sharper than a b-2.

B-2 has square cut outs in the wings that give ot a less triangular look and more “W”

[-]

Kroll_of_Dehetenland@reddit

But if you look closely you can see the W wtf...

[-]

mysticgregshadow@reddit

Im not trying to be skeptical but i do not see the obvious W shape where the engine’s should be on a b2, now this photo could be fake/stupidly low quality on purpose so idk

The resolution of the picture, alongside the fact there's a good amount of atmosphere between the aircraft and the photographer, could very well hide the tail end of the B-2.
