The United States wakes up. China flew two new stealth fighter planes, not one. The next fighter in the United States is on hold.
“They were able to defeat us in punch,” said the official Andrew Hunter, the procurement of the Air Force. “It's my sincere hope that this attracted the attention of the United States,” said David All Bin, Chief of Staff. Break defense January 17th.
China released two new airplanes on December 26.
Putin and XI swear to “deepen” the alliance a few hours after Trump enters the White House again.
These two aircraft need to send chills to the defense industry base. The rise in air force in China is the biggest threat to the Pacific Ocean since World War II. It doesn't happen just by losing air dominance in these Chinese fighters through the Pacific Ocean.

The United States has led stealth fighters design, engine, composite materials, and electronic devices, but the Chinese have obviously have made serious progress. China does not discuss the defense budget. They use spy fruits and fly new airplanes from two different design teams.
What is bothering me is that the Air Force has seen this comes. In September 2022, Mark Kelly, a retired four -star aircraft, warned that the Chinese were “in track” in the sixth -generation stealthwa -rane design. However, President Joe Biden's Pentagon has delayed a new US fighter, a project for more than 10 years.
The “6th generation” fighter is the latest and best. In technical terms, the F-15 and the F-16 are the fourth generation, and the F-22 and the F-35 stealth fighters are the fifth generation. The sixth generation says, “The index function of the signature of processing and sensing and the index acceleration is decreasing.” Explained。
The method of accumulating two new airplanes in China is as follows:
Chengdu J-36 is a larger, Delta-type fighter bomber. It parade that two weapon bays are open to emphasize the carriage of the internal weapon, which is a characteristic of stealth. The J-36 is not a dog fighter because there is no vertical control surface. It is China's best effort in true stealth aircraft, which is controlled so that “signatures” such as radar reflection and infrared emissions are suppressed and difficult to detect.
The J-36 flew with the J-20 fighter as a chase plane, so Australian experts were able to estimate the relative size of 66 to 85 feet in about 65 feet wings. This is larger than the F-22 rapter's 44-foot wings, smaller than the B-22 Raider stealth bomber 132 feet.
I tell you, this J-36 is a troublesome character and an important step up from the previous Chinese design. Airlines' expert Bill Sweetman estimates that the total takeoff weight is £ 120,000, and its maximum speed is higher than Mach 1.5. This airplane is designed for efficient and long -distance cruises because the shape of the delta is highly evaluated by the quality of lifting. The J-36 can carry considerable payloads over a longer distance in the Pacific Ocean.
One of the interesting points: The J-36 may be a plane of three engines, and for me, the Chinese have not yet learned advanced engine design, so they must stick to the extra engine for power. He says he did not. I don't know if you have masked infrared signatures from the engine or how to manage the cooling of the electronic devices required to adopt AI. The straight trailing edge's flapping split eronda suggests that all aspect signature reductions may not be so large, probably vulnerable to missile shots.

The second aircraft called the Shenyan J-50 is a twin engine fighter, but the mystery is deepened beyond that. A glimpse of the test flight video, the analyst is not sure if the J-50 is a manned or unmanned airplane. The J-50 probably has some experimental US airplanes and lamb wings copied from drones. If the vertical tail is not seen, the shape of the J-50, such as the J-36, indicates some progress in carbon composite materials that replace metals on the torso, wings, and control surface.
What is the mission of J-36 and J-50? Kill our fighter. Regarding the progress of the drone battle, China still hopes that advanced aircraft is mixed with the US F-22, F-35, etc. In a fierce war where the satellite is darkened and the electronic spectral war weakens drones, the prince Chinese fighter pilots are shooting down from the J-36.
Of course, J-36 and J-50 are not yet produced. But don't take a rest easily. Western analysts laughed SC because China built three aircraft carriers, stealth J-20, air fuel supply aircraft, drones, and long-distance empty missiles. Even more worried, China practice long -range bomber flights to Guam and send dozens of fighters integrated “Gorilla” packages to Taiwan's airspace. These are signs of Air Force training for battle.
For good news now. Waiting on the wings is the 6th generation fighter that Pentagon calls NGAD: next -generation air. NGAD airplanes flew to a secret in 2020, and the Air Force said that they would award the contract last summer, but the Biden Pentagon Team has retreated by a collective shock in the aerospace industry.
The USAF sixth -generation fighters have stealth, engine, open software architecture, so I think they are ready to use drones. The best talent of the United States aerospace is just waiting for the “go” signal to build NGAD.

Unlike the Navy, which is struggling to increase the production of warships, the US Air Force has a lot of quick movements to lead China. The production line of the F-35 stealth fighter is hot, and the B-21 Raider is sailing through the flight test. A new unmanned drone called a joint fighter will help you immediately. Anduril and General Atomics have completed important design reviews in the first batch.
Time for Trump's team to put aircraft production in the afterburner.
