B-2 bomber’s missile upgrade ‘could threaten’ PLA warships: military analyst


Extended-range stealthy missiles carried by B-2 bombers could give the United States an edge against Chinese warships if the military giants entered a direct confrontation, according to a military affairs analyst.

US defence firm Northrop Grumman revealed last week that a December test launch of a stealthy missile from the B-2 bomber had been successful. Other US warplanes, including the B-52 and F-16, had previously carried the AGM-158B JASSM-ER missiles, but they had never been mounted on the B-2 before.
