Hello Jow Forums why were there never any defensive turrets installed on stealth bombers? I was looking at the B2 schematics and found an obvious unused section in the airframe that could easily house a retractable turret. Next post will be a better detail view of the turret and mechanism

For what purpose?

As you can see, the turret retracts into the body when not being used to preserve the aerodynamics of the bird.

For defense against enemy aircraft.

the b-2 is designed to not have anything within gun range of it, retard

Well, what happens when the next gen of Russian and Chinese interceptors fly up behind it and fuck it up? An assembly like this would probably cost less than $100,000, and it's a good investment to make to save a plane worth billions.

What the fuck do you think the turret will do? No one gunfights anymore and this would only spoil the plane's RCS. Now what would be interesting would be a B2 made to carry fuckloads of A2A missiles and carrying some really nice avionics and radar.

It's escorts go to work.

It retracts into the plane's body so this isn't an issue. Also yes, imagine a B2 with loads of AMRAAMs coming in and fucking everything up.
