US PREPARES EARLY SCRAPPING
According to Defense News , the US Air Force has revealed the existence of a new stealth fighter prototype which, according to reports, has already been secretly built and tested in flight.
So, after the excellent F22, the Air Force is anticipating the replacement of the complex and unreliable F35 with a new generation fighter to replace it: in fact, the new stealth jet could potentially dominate the skies by 2030.
Air Force Acquisition Chief Will Roper recently spoke to Defense News and said the jet, built under the Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, could go into production "pretty quickly" : " We are ready to build the next generation fighter in a way never seen before "
Roper has: " We have already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator in the real world and we have broken records in doing so ."
Because the NGAD program is classified, not much is known about the secret jet. Roper did not provide further details about the plane to Defense News or anyone who was present at the event.
The disclosure of the Air Force's sixth generation prototype could be the perfect time for the Air Force to request more funds from Congress as a wave of modernization sweeps over the military. After all, the plane that costs 100 million euros per piece, 120 million dollars, that is the F-35 fighter, is studded with countless problems, starting from poor maneuverability in close combat (Dogfighting) to the construction of many components not height of the necessary quality .
Here is also a video related to the current program that will be developed by both the Air Force and the Navy:
Recall that Italy and the United Kingdom and Sweden are already developing their sixth generation fighter the well-known Tempest
For Russia there is talk of a new project called T-60 and which should be at the level of the European counterpart.
