USAF has strong ambition to modernise its equipment, as it wants to become the world’s first air force to put the new-generation strategic bombers and the 6th-generation stealth fighter into combat. At the same time, USAF is also determined to develop UAVs operating in the formation of manned fighters. This could create an arms race between major countries as Russia and China have just begun to equip 5th generation fighter aircraft, and currently employing strategic bombers equivalent to the US’ B-1B aircraft.
