Unveiled two years ago, the B-21 Raider is the ‘sequel’ to the UFO-like B-2 Spirit. It is designed to strike silently deep behind enemy lines with its 9,500km range and advanced stealth capabilities.

The drones were among multiple items confiscated by Australian Border Force (ABF) officers as part of a Counter Proliferation investigation into the suspected export of military-grade and military end‑use items to Russia, while searching an Eden Hills residence in Adelaide on 27 September.

The crashed aircraft was discovered late last year in the waters off the coast of Gasmata, Papua New Guinea, by Dr Andrew Forrest and Ocean Ecology.

The two appointments will become effective from 9 October this year, according to a company statement published last week.

A team of soldiers from Australian Army 2nd Division, Australian Army 4th Combat Service Support Battalion, 1st/19th Battalion Royal New South Wales Regiment, Australian Army Cadets and the Royal Australian Air Force have now won the tournament three years in a row, following their latest victory at the event held in London earlier this month.

The event, held at Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Kuta from September 18 to 21, marks the first time Australia has conducted a dedicated flying display with the F-35A in Indonesia.
