The B-1B Lancer, a supersonic heavy bomber, is a truly remarkable aircraft, capable of carrying out missions worldwide from its bases in the United States, as well as from forward-deployed locations, according to the consulate.Don Heflin, US Charge d'Affaires, said that the United States' participation in the air show is another example of the deepening defence and strategic partnership between the US and India.

"I am pleased to head this year's US delegation to Aero India to show our continued commitment to strengthening US-India defence cooperation, in line with India's status as a major defence partner," Heflin said.
"US participation in Aero India 2021 reflects our increasingly close bilateral defence ties and our shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific region," he added.
The consulate said that US participation in Aero India 2021 provides both the US industry and the US military services an opportunity to strengthen military-to-military relations and defence cooperation with India.
"Our two militaries work together to uphold a rules-based international order in the Indo-Pacific. Public and private participation by the US in Aero India 2021 demonstrates the importance the US places on its strategic partnership with India," the statement read.
