US Air Force (USAF) bombers are touching down in new places. In February, for the first time in history, the B-1B Lancer bomber landed in India. Then, in March, the supersonic jet deployed for the first time from a Norwegian air base. Just this week the variable-sweep bomber landed in Poland for the first time ever.
Expect more surprise landings from the B-1B, Boeing B-52H Stratofortress and Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, said USAF General Timothy Ray, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, at the Air Force Association’s Virtual Aerospace Warfare Symposium in February.
