what the next generation of bomber in the end U.S. military officials imagine?
Journal of American diplomacy network February 22 article said that, 37 billion - which is the U.S. Air Force plans for the next five years to develop a new long-range stealth bomber was driving the costs, the bombers may be designed to break through the Chinese Air Force defense system designed and manufactured. Under the Obama administration to be included in the fiscal 2012 budget plan, the mid-20s of this century, the United States will produce about 100 of the types of new bombers, these bombers will be used to maintain focus on the Pacific balance of power.
The article said that the bombers last week's announcement that the arms race between China and the U.S. continued to upgrade. Since early 2010, China has gradually exposed to a new stealth fighter prototype (CAC production of China J-20 ), new anti-ship ballistic missiles (DF -21) also entered service, while the absolute number of satellite launches per year, at least temporarily and U.S. flat (15). At the same time, the United States has deployed long-range unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in Guam, has also recently had a test flight take off and land in a new unmanned fighter aircraft, and also began to develop a new supersonic anti-ship missiles - also includes the latest The bomber launched the project.
