Construction of the export version of our B-70 Valkyrie is continuing and the prototype should be ready very soon. The export version will be known as the B-70B Valkyrie and will be slightly less capable than the GBAF's own B-70A Valkyrie, which is available to trusted friends and members of the Grand Alliance only
