China’s H-20 ‘stealth bomber,’ allegedly a rival to the US’s ‘Raider,’ may also be rolled out soon.

Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) and the U.S. Air Force have finally rolled out the world’s first sixth-generation aircraft after over three decades, amid a tight arms race with China.

The B-21 “Raider,” a long-range nuclear bomber, was unveiled on Friday, at the company’s facility in Palmdale, California, according to a press release by the defense giant.

“The Northrop Grumman team develops and delivers technology that advances science, looks into the future, and brings it to the here and now,” said Kathy Warden, CEO and president of NOC.N.
