According to sources, the older version of the B-2 model was also designed by the same firm and was used in the Cold War. That happened to be way back in 1989. It has been almost 30 years since the launch of the older version. Thus, this will be a historic moment for all the firms and forces involved.

The name ‘Raiders’ has been inspired by the Doolittle Raiders. All the aircraft at that time were probably destroyed during warfare.
