Considered the most expensive aircraft in history, the plane made an emergency landing at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. After landing, the combat unit caught fire. It is known that there were no casualties in the incident.
According to the publication, the incident occurred on December 10 as part of a planned exercise. During the flight, the pilot of the 509th bomber wing informed the controller about some kind of malfunction and went for an emergency landing.
Recall that today the US Air Force is armed with 20 B-2 Spirits. The cost of a “naked” plane, that is, without any equipment, is estimated at $ 1 billion. Full hardware doubles that amount.
