The newest nuclear stealth bomber in the US has made its public debut after years of secret development, as part of the Pentagon’s answer to rising tensions with China.
The B-21 Raider is the first new US bomber aircraft in more than 30 years and is estimated to cost $729.25million (£592million).
The plane is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons around the world and was unveiled at the US Air Force’s Plant 42 in Palmdale, California.
