The Stormbreaker is one ωєαρσи that shouldn’t exist but has managed to change modern warfare as we know it. It is the second version of a ʙᴏᴍʙ whose first version, if it went according to plan, would not have needed a sequel.
But due to a scandal involving the then Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition and Management, Darleen Druyun, this wasn’t the case. She deleted a vital requirement from the development of the Small Diameter ʙᴏᴍʙ, which favored her future employer, Boeing.
Until she was sent to prison, Darleen was a high-profile figure at the Air Force. She oversaw the awarding of the Pentagon’s biggest contract ever, a $200 billion deal with Lockheed to build the Joint Strike Fighter, now the F-22 Raptor. So a scandal involving her was always going to be a big deal, one that required about $450 million to fix, in the form of an entirely new program.
This program would develop a new ʙᴏᴍʙ that empties Darleen’s Recycle Bin to satisfy the deleted requirement and become the Air Force’s first-ever network-enabled ʙᴏᴍʙ capable of linking with satellites in Space to deal unspeakable damage to targets with the precision of a sniper bullet. This new ʙᴏᴍʙ is the Stormbreaker.
