@Josh_TN more realistically, there could eventually be capable wingman ucavs, or something along the lines of “expendable flying missile rails” filling that defensive role for penetrating platforms.
although, a flying SAM Site (Sm-6) would be something to marvel at lol
Given that CCAs will start enter service around the same time as B-21, I would think they would end up having some or operating behind fighters that did
I was thinking SM-6 would be a fascinating piece of ordnance because it would be long range air to surface/anti ship/air to air, but more realistically SiAW will fill two of those roles and be carried in larger numbers, so presumably that would be adopted once available.
