Adding a cannon to the aircraft could also reduce the number of precision-guided bombs released, cutting the Air Force's expenses in the long run..............

The Air Force has already set in motion plans to retire its B-2 Spirit and Lancer bombers in the 2030s as it builds up its new B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber fleet. The Lancers will stick around until at least 2036, enough time to bring in new pilots, train them and have them fly for at least 15 years.
