The long-awaited first flight of the US Air Force’s ultra-ambitious new B-21 Raider strategic bomber is a fact. The aircraft, which has been manufactured since 2015 by Northrop-Grumman, in six prototypes, at its facility in Palmdale, California, flew for the first time, and the impressive video is making the world around the Internet.

According to the manufacturers, as well as the US Air Force (USAF), these are even more advanced and effective than their B-2, F-22 and F-35 counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
