AIR Force officials said that the five new stealth B-21 bombers are being built simultaneously for the United States’ fleet, and will see flight later this year.

In a conversation with specialty outlet Defense One, US Air Force Chief of Staff General CQ Brown, Jr. addressed rumors about the new, high-tech stealth planes.

“USAF expects first flight later this year, then the five, then more," tweeted Kevin Baron, executive editor of Defense One.

News of the bombers’ production broke earlier this year, though information about the top-secret tech has been understandably hard to come by.

Initial rumors indicated two B-21s were in production, but the USAF confirmed that five bombers are underway.

“Brown declines to say how they’ll be rolled out, or what sequence. ‘Folks will know’ when it happens,” Kevin Baron quoted General Brown.

A principios de este mes, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said aerospace and defense technology company Northrop Grumman are secretly building the stealth bombers.

The announcement came in conjunction with the unveiling of China’s newest development, the CH-6 electronic attack vehicle, an anti-submarine drone that can carry traditional air-to-surface missiles and precision-guided bombs.
