A bird of ill omen is in the skies over Australia. Three black, bat-shaped US B-2 Spirit stealth bombers have made a surprise visit Down Under. And they’re here because of rapidly deteriorating relations with China.
The United States air force stealth bombers appeared out of nowhere at Royal Australian Air Force Base Amberley in Queensland last month. They’ve since taken to Australian skies in a series of joint exercises.
