Fast-track.

This is coolbert:

B-21 bomber fast-tracked! 

"fast-track: adjective - 2: of, relating to, or being a construction procedure in which work on a building begins before designs are completed"

Going right to production with a whole lot of testing of prototypes? Quite unusual.

"B-21 Raider bomber zooms into fast-track production"

From https://asiatimes.com | By GABRIEL HONRADA  | JANUARY 24, 2024.

"Next-generation stealth aircraft goes into production just two months after initial flight tests, underscoring the geostrategic urgency of its deployment"

"The US has announced that its next-generation stealth bomber is now slated for production, signaling a new era in aerial warfare and strategic deterrence amid renewed great power competition with China and Russia."

"Several news outlets reported that the B-21 Raider stealth bomber, the next-generation aircraft of the US Air Force, is now ready for production by defense contractor Northrop Grumman."

Rushing a major product directly to production without a whole lot of testing is not necessarily a good sign.

WW3 is around the corner and the B-21 bomber will be of great importance and badly needed. Again we’re not being told something that we need to know.

The Germans know! The Swedes know! The Norwegians and British know! The B-21 bomber program also knows?
