US building supersonic stealth bombers8217;

WASHINGTON, JAN 13: The United States is developing new supersonic stealth bombers with speeds up to 3,500 to 7,000 miles per hour to meet its strategic need for deterrence against countries such as India, North Korea and Pakistan till 2030 AD and beyond, a US-based science magazine has said.

quot;The follow-on to the B1B bomber is foreseen as primarily a nuclear weapons carrier, giving Pentagon a fast, but recallable, nuclear delivery system that will serve as a strong deterrent to many nations, such as India, North Korea and Pakistan,quot; the Popular Science magazine said in a recent article.

Also being developed are unpiloted bombers which can be directed at targets from a quot;motherquot; plane a safe distance away.
