The United States introduced a new strategic bomber B-21 Raider. The ceremony took place at Northrop Grumman’s factory in Palmdale, California.
According to company developer Northrop Grumman, this is the world’s first sixth-generation bomber. It can carry ammunition in both conventional and nuclear weapons.
It is recorded that Raider can defeat the most advanced air defense systems thanks to its enhanced stealth technology.
Also the ceremony joined US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
Formerly US military portal 19FortyFive WroteThat the B-21 Raider has nuclear capability and will therefore play an important role in the US nuclear triad.
The US Air Force plans to purchase at least 149 new types of bombers to replace the B-1 and B-2 fleet. The first flight of the B-21 is scheduled for early 2023.
