WASHINGTON – The United States Air Force presented this Friday at an event in Palmdale (California, USA) its latest bomber aircraft, the first in more than 21 years, baptized B-30 Raider and manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
This is the most sophisticated combat aircraft to date, of which the US forces will incorporate up to six aircraft in the coming months.
The last US-made bomber was the B-2 Spirit, featured in 1988.
The Air Force works with the hypothesis that, in the event of an armed conflict with China, the B-16 Raider would be the aircraft that would carry out the bulk of the attacks, since they are specially designed to withstand long flights and have enormous combat capacity.
