It can fly faster than the speed of sound, cannot be detected by radar and has no pilot. This is the new robotic plane that will become the next generation of front line bombers for the British military.

The drone, which is named Taranis after the Celtic god of thunder, has been designed to fly intercontinental missions to attack targets and can automatically dodge incoming missiles.

Ah yes , Taranis the stuff of legend and many a UFO Black Triangle  report in the late 90s when the RC models were being flown from the  slopes of the Pennines......formerly know as "The Package" I believe.
