The B-21 will serve alongside the B-52J, an updated version of the B-52 Stratofortress bomber, 76 of which are still
The B-52H has a certified service life of 27,701 flight hours. (LRS-B) will be the replacement platform for the B-1B and B-52H Stratofortress. The target is a production of 80-100 aircraft that are stealthy and capable of carrying nuclear weapons. The per unit target price is $550 million. B-52’s Demonstrate The US’s 'Nuclear Prowess

As to what the potential flyaway cost of this new bomber will be, well unlike the C-130J which could be built from existing production lines of the C-130 which cut significant amount of costs, this new build B-52 is gonna require a whole new manufacturing facility as well as new supply chains. Which will drive up the costs. AkEUKbW.
