# Mystery stealth aircraft filmed near Kansas airbase 2026-08-13T03:10:16+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets A video filmed on Tuesday near McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas, shows a large gray military aircraft with a silhouette resembling a stealth bomber. The aircraft has not been officially identified. OutKick reporter David Hookstead told Times Now the shape and a window reflection suggest it could be the secretive B-21 Raider, a nuclear-capable stealth bomber developed by Northrop Grumman at a per-unit cost of $692 million. Other possibilities include the older B-2 Spirit, which sometimes refuels at McConnell, or the RQ-180 drone, whose existence the US government has never acknowledged. The B-21 was unveiled in 2022 and is still in flight testing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Air Force expects it to enter service within the next decade and plans to buy at least 100. The aircraft in the video has not been confirmed as a B-21. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - ndtv.com Tags: B-21 Raider, Kansas, McConnell Air Force Base, stealth bomber, US Air Force Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mystery-plane-over-kansas-base-fuels-b-21-raider-stealth-bomber-talk/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
