India’s new 12,000 km bomber could hit New York without needing to refuel and carrying BrahMos missiles

India plans to build an ultra-long-range strategic bomber for the Air Force, designed to strike targets more than 12,000 kilometres away. Modelled partly on Russias TU-160 and Americas B-21 Raider, it aims to expand Indias nuclear deterrence and global reach. The project, known as the Ultra Long-Range Strike Aircraft, will carry BrahMos-NG missiles and possibly other advanced weapons. Talks with Russia and France for technology transfer are underway, with the first prototype likely by 2035.
