ICYMI: Trump Announced Our Next Gen Fighter Jet — Dems Will HATE Its Designation

While Canada struggles to figure if they will be keeping up with their purchase of the F-35s to replace their ancient fleet of CF-18s, Uncle Sam is moving forward into the 6th Generation.

Here is Trump making the announcement from the Oval Office:

Hegseth said this was a big day for the warfighters. Because of this sixth-generation fighter, America will have generations of air dominance.

“[The F-47] sends a very direct, clear message to our allies that we’re not going anywhere and to our enemies that we can, and we will, be able to project power around the globe, unimpeded, for generations to come,” he added.

Hegseth also said he sees the NGAD program as a historic investment in both the U.S. military and the U.S. defense industrial base, which will help to revive the warrior ethos in the armed services.

The ability of NGAD’s fighter jet component to interact with drone technology will allow more lethality and modernized capability than in previous weapons systems, Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David W. Allvin said at the press conference.

“[NGAD] is allowing us to look into the future and unlock the magic that is human-machine teaming,” Allvin said. “We’re going to write the next generation of modern aerial warfare with this.”

He added that the way the Air Force has assembled the NGAD program will give the government more control, allowing the platform to be updated and adapted “at the speed of relevance [and] at the speed of technology.”

Additionally, the F-47 will cost less than the F-22, be more adaptable to future threats and “have significantly longer range, more advanced stealth, be more sustainable, supportable, and have higher availability than our fifth-generation fighters,” Allvin said via a press release following the announcement at the White House.  — DoDNews

What makes it 6th generation?

Attributes: Stealth, supersensor fusion, AI-technology, laser weapons, increased computing power, “system-of-systems”
[…] Sixth-generation fighter jets are designed to be a “system of systems” and be something of a flying command center controlling loyal wingman drones and having an incredibly high situational awareness. European countries are skipping developing their own fifth-generation fighters and going straight to sixth-generation projects (Tempest/GCAP being the best example). These jets are planned to feature laser weapons, stealth technology, supersensor fusion, AI technology, and more. They are expected to be produced in low numbers. — SimpleFlying
