im not sure how accurate this story is...it assumes quite a bit. What’s on the drawing board and what is actually in the sky is a huge difference. The F-35 showed that taking an idea and then making it real is a huge divide. It’s not enough to say “we are working on a 6th generation fighter’...IMO only the US can make predictions with any confidence. The only reason China and Russia are as advanced as they are is due to robbing the US of their research...if the US can stop the information sieve...then other countries are back in the dark. The F-35 is far from obsolete...as I said a wish and reality are miles apart. The 35 can be upgraded also. It looks like the US plans to use its Aurora aircraft as it’s 6th generation...aircraft that already have been made and US pilots are already flying.
Ever wonder what's in the nose of a F16? Naw me neither. <iframe width="700" height="394" src="" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
