A third tailess aircraft design was seen flying in China. It seems to be the that tailess variable sweep wing design from one of the patents. They literally built a "6th gen" F-14...

maybe. maybe not. if stuff is going to enter service within several years, there's no real reason be too secretive.
only when it's something that's orders of magnitude in superiority and you need to keep the fundamental creativity under wraps. remember, we're dealing with material sciences here, so there's not much you can hide scientifically.

Chinese material engineers would literally kill their own parents if it meant they could steal American engine designs and the know-how that goes along with manufacturing them.

the aim-260 was a special access program, and that's just a ~mach 5 long range a2a missile that probably won't be better than any of the others out there (since it's bound by the dimensions of the aim-120).
people like to conflate the lack of exposure to a predictor of better capabilities. this isn't always the case

The black projects in the United States just have better security, what you're seeing are amateurs designing top secret aircraft over populated areas.
>possibly 3 sixth gen fighter program + the xixth gen strategic bomber program
Really puts into perspective how much we get fleeced by the MIC even with 1 trillion dollar budget

don't worry, anon. mic, especially boeing, is completely superior to everyone else and whatever they have will be better than anything china has because we're better than everyone else. amercican exceptionalism, remember.
>china, an apparently poor shithole according to the americans here, is now producing multiple 5th and 6th generation planes >whereas america is only producing a single 5th gen plane and zero 6th gen planes
where is all that black project money going again?
>>64075291 >china, an actual poor shithole apart from the inner cities of the coast, according to reality >is now producing multiple stealth facet shapey looking prototypes that losers with no more knowledge than anyone else pretend are 5th and 6th gen >b-b-b-but look at the facety stealthy shapeys and le tailless, it shapey like those 3d renderydoodles of 6th gens!!!!
Youโre like a toddler lol.
