Afghanistan highlighted the need for pilotless aircraft and long-range bombers that did not depend on the availability of nearby American air bases. 阿富汗戰爭表明，我們需要無人駕駛飛機以及無需臨近空軍基地的遠程轟炸機。
One big consideration is the growing threat of Russia, which last year resumed ostentatious long-distance bomber flights close to northern Europe. 來自俄羅斯的威脅是一件急待思考的大事，去年該國在其靠近北歐的領土上繼續炫耀遠程轟炸機的威力。
