Nope. Smaller airframe yes, but a design that benefited from decades of advances in both algorithms and computing power. It most likely has a much better lift-to-drag ratio than B2, and more efficient engines too. It will at least match B2's range.
Though the Raider’s true range remains classified, estimates place it at approximately 6,000 miles of range without refuelling, highlighting the platform’s extraordinary global potential.
