As of mid-2025, no other country has an operational stealth bomber that fully matches the capabilities of the U.S. B-2 Spirit — but some are developing or testing similar aircraft. Here's a breakdown by country:
---
🇺🇸 United States
✅ B-2 Spirit
Operational since: 1997
Stealth bomber with global strike range, radar-evading design, and nuclear/conventional payloads.
🆕 B-21 Raider
Maiden flight: December 2023
Expected IOC: 2026–2027
Smaller, cheaper, and stealthier successor to the B‑2.
Will be the world's most advanced stealth bomber once deployed.
---
🇨🇳 China
🔄 H-20 (Xian H-20)
In development — China's answer to the B-2.
First teased publicly in 2018; rumored to be in prototype phase or near first flight.
Expected features:
Subsonic flying wing design (like B-2)
5,000+ mile range
Nuclear/conventional capabilities
Status: Not operational as of 2025.
---
🇷🇺 Russia
🔄 PAK-DA (Tupolev)
Russia's stealth bomber project to replace the aging Tu-95 and Tu-160.
Also a flying wing design, similar to B-2.
Prototype construction confirmed, but progress is slow due to sanctions and funding.
First flight expected around 2026–2028.
Status: Still in development.
---
🇮🇳 India, 🇫🇷 France, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇮🇱 Israel
None have operational stealth bombers.
Some, like India and the UK, are researching stealth drones and strike aircraft, but no bomber-class stealth aircraft is near production.
---
🇮🇷 Iran & 🇰🇵 North Korea
Both have no credible stealth aircraft, and no capacity to produce bombers on the scale of a B-2 or even a 4th-gen strike fighter.
