los Angeles In the presence of US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, the US manufacturer Northrop Grumman’s B-21 Raider stealth bomber was unveiled on Friday (local time) at the heavily guarded military development facility in Palmdale, north of Los Angeles, California. The US military has now unveiled the fighter plane that had been secretly developed for years.
Immersed in blue light and accompanied by film music and applause, the bomber was pulled out of a hangar, a reporter from the Washington Post described the process, which media representatives were allowed to attend under strict conditions. With the squat, flowing shape from the cockpit to the wings, the B-21 is reminiscent of a cinematic UFO representation – or bat wings straight from the “Batman” fleet.
The B-21 is designed to carry both conventional and nuclear munitions and drop it with impressive precision, Secretary of Defense Austin said in a speech. 50 years of technology for low visibility of flying objects have flowed into the stealth jet.
