16:42 GMT 23.10.2015 (Updated: 16:45 GMT 23.10.2015) Worried that their current fleet of strategic bombers is vulnerable to Chinese and Russian-made air defense systems, officials at the US Defense Department are demanding the creation of a new fleet of bombers 'so powerful that they will never have to be used.'
Military correspondent David Axe noted that the Air Force wants planes so threatening that they will never even have to be put into active service, their "mere presence…[giving] pause to US enemies."
