Northrop Grumman B-21A Raider (LRS-B)

Chaff and Flares for the B-21? The B-2 never had either Chaff or Flares to defend itself instead it relied on pure Stealth. So I would think the same would be true for the B-21.

I am still kind of surprised that no one has written a story about the $77.13m military construction contract that was awarded as part of the original LRS-B award in 2015.

Towed decoys? Who knows...

That is interesting flateric, towed decoys for the B-21 but until more information comes out we will probably never know for sure.

Or defensive mini missiles, as studied and patented by NG? Already mentioned in this thread.

You don't understand the mission requirements. It has stealthy Chaff and low observable Flares.
