CNN —The Air Force on Friday unveiled its newest stealth bomber aircraft, the B-21 Raider, in Palmdale, California. The sixth-generation aircraft is expected to help the Air Force “penetrate the toughest defenses for precision strikes anywhere in the world,” Northrop Grumman’s press release said. The service named Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, as the home of the B-21 and home to the aircraft’s training program. The Air Force plans to purchase at least 100 of the stealth bombers. “Even the most sophisticated air defense systems will struggle to detect the B-21 in the sky,” Austin said at the unveiling.
