Symbolising deepening of Indo-US defence and strategic partnership, an American B-1B Lancer heavy bomber will perform a fly-by at the Aero India 2021, scheduled to come alive at the Yelahanka Air Force Station here on February 3.
The bomber from the 28th Bomb Wing is based out of Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. Carrying the largest conventional payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the US Air Force inventory, the multi-mission B-1 is the backbone of America’s long-range bomber force.
Built to rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against adversaries anywhere in the world, the B-1B holds almost 50 world records for speed, payload, range, and time of climb in its class.
