The advantages of the Northrop B-2 Spirit for long-range stealth strategic bombing missions are such that it is currently the only aircraft in service in the world able to carry them out. At least that is true until the B-21 Raider comes into service in 2027. All the world’s other strategic bombers, including the B-1 Lancer, the B-52 Stratofortress, the Chinese J-6, the Russian Tu-95, the Russian Tu-160, and the Russian Tu-22 (not really a strategic bomber), are not stealthy.
