On Friday, the US Air Force will unveil its new B-21 Raider, a high-tech stealth bomber that can carry nuclear and conventional weapons and is designed to be able to fly without a crew on board. “The B-21 will be the backbone of our future bomber force. It will possess the range, access and payload to penetrate the most highly-contested threat environments and hold any target around the globe at risk,” US Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek told AFP. The B-21, which is on track to cost nearly $700 million per plane and is the first new US bomber in decades, will gradually replace the B-1 and B-2 aircraft, which first flew during the Cold War.
