Military just announced the order of 200 sixth gen fighters with drones.


Recommended Posts

They have been using the older F22s as test beds for some of the new sensors and computers that will go into the NGAD which is a pretty good deal as it may end up extending the life of the F22.  the sixth gen fighter is not going to be like current fighters at all it will be more of a long range bomber type plane with high top speed and long legs.

And perhaps accompanying drones that act independently. Did you see the report on the pilotless F16? It was pulling g’s that the piloted F16’s couldn’t. God damn fearless in the skies. According to the report it performed well. I think it’s obvious where this is going and what’s being telegraphed to the ChiComs.

The B21 should be renamed the China express.  The thing is new air to air missiles are going to make dogfighting extinct not that it already is close to extinct.  The AMMRAm 260 and others are almost operational as is some new smaller air to air Missiles designed to increase the number that can be carried by current stealth fighters.

The electronic defense measures on the B21 appear to be something out of Star Wars.

And that is just what they are willing to talk about. I don't think the B21 is fully understood yet it is a much different plane than the B2.  It is designed to be low maintenance and be able to work away from fancy bases unlike the B2. I think it will end up being much cheaper than the B2 all things considered.
