US Air Force reveals B-21 Raider stealth bomber that'll fly the unfriendly skies
Report: Microsoft and AWS scored $50m in contracts after Google pulled out of Pentagon's AI drone plan
Ray said the US needs at least 100 B-21 Raiders to support America's nuclear triad , to deter aggression, to prevail in contested environments, and to replace aging B-1B Lancer and B-2 Spirit bombers – none of which have been shot down in combat. The B-21 is being positioned as a deterrent to potential threats from China and other adversaries with advanced air defenses.
The Air Force is expected to spend $203 billion to develop, buy, and operate 100 B-21s over 30 years. The cost to develop the plane is said to beSix of the planes are in various states of assembly in Palmdale, according to Northrop Grumman.

Frontiers | Associations between air pollution and multimorbidity in the UK Biobank: A cross-sectional studyBackground: Long-term exposure to air pollution concentrations is known to be adversely associated with a broad range of single non-communicable diseases, but its role in multimorbidity has not been investigated in the UK. We aimed to assess associations between long-term air pollution exposure and multimorbidity status, severity, and patterns using the UK Biobank cohort. Methods: Multimorbidity status was calculated based on 41 physical and mental conditions. We assessed cross-sectional associations between annual modelled particulate matter (PM)2.5, PMcoarse, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations (μg/m3 – modelled to residential address) and multimorbidity status at the baseline assessment (2006-2010) in 364,144 people (mean age: 52.2±8.1 years, 52.6% female). Air pollutants were categorised into quartiles to assess dose-response associations. Among those with multimorbidity (≥2 conditions; n=156,395) we assessed associations between air pollutant exposure levels and multimorbidity severity and multimorbidity patterns, which were identified using exploratory factor analysis. Associations were explored using generalised linear models adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioural, and environmental indicators. Results: Higher exposures to PM2.5, and NO2 were associated with multimorbidity status in a dose-dependent manner. These associations were strongest when we compared the highest air pollution quartile (quartile 4: Q4) with the lowest quartile (Q1) [PM2.5: adjusted odds ratio (adjOR)=1.21 (95% CI=1.18, 1.24); NO2: adjOR=1.19 (95 % CI=1.16, 1.23)]. We also observed dose-response associations between air pollutant exposures and multimorbidity severity scores. We identified 11 multimorbidity patterns. Air pollution was associated with several multimorbidity patterns with strongest associations (Q4 vs Q1) observed for neurological (stroke, epilepsy, alcohol/substance dependency) [PM2.5: adjOR=1.31 (95% CI=1.14, 1.51); NO2: adjOR=1.33 (95% CI=1.11, 1.60)] and
