@@actualfaxts1570 you’re obviously a bot or an idiot. Russia can only afford to have 10 operational SU-57’s, they won’t be building any new aircraft.

@@jakesully2868 Hahahahaha. In all seriousness, from what I understand, India pulled out of importing them because their *frontal* (aka their BEST) radar cross section (RCS) is equivalent to that of an F/A-18 Hornet in a clean configuration (no outward weapon stores). Its maneuverability is amazing, but in terms of stealth tech and 5th-gen situational awareness, it just has none of that. It's basically the ultimate 4th gen jet in a world that's leaving that sort of thing behind. And forget about Russia fielding any more new fighters--its status as a pariah state means it can't get the technology to develop its military, and most likely won't be for a long time to come.
@@Ilyak1986 Yeah, the internal weapon bay on the SU-57 doesn't have a proper seal which means it captures and reflects a lot of radar. Also there are like six of them. And possibly not all of them actually fly.
@@Ilyak1986 If I recall, the head of the Indian Air force described the SU-57 as an old toy with new packaging. Rather like most of the other crap Russia makes these days.
Amca is a decade away, and also the fact, design has been just finalised, and Metal cutting of the prototype has recently started. still a very long way to go.
Unfortunately there's been a recent development involving the Flygsystem 2020 and Sweden is no longer involved with the Anglo-Japanese fighter program since the UK wasn't willing to share any meaningful workload or technology with the Swedes. So they'll develop their own fighter through SAAB, which has proven themselves incredibly capable engineers time and again, and will probably seek economical partnership with other countries to share the development costs.
@@FallenPhoenix86 Logically they should approach their neighbors for a partnership on a Scandinavian aircraft that will help support the air defences of all of them.
The turkish part seems to be poor researched. Turkey has a lot of experience when it comes to fighter jets. They produeced parts for the F-35 and have been producing F-16 under licenese many years. And Sweden has no particioation in the TF-X project and the only critical part seems to be the engine where there is a collabartion with BAE systems and Turkey's own progress creating an jet engine.
It wasn't that the US wouldn't sell Turkey the F-35, its that they wouldn't allow Turkey to join in the development side of the program and wouldn't share certain secretive technical specifications. Turkey also bought the Russian S-400s AA system, and there were concerns that Russia would use the radar systems in those to improve their targeting abilities.
Everything SK are building right now seems to be designed to become as proliferated as any Soviet or US product has been. The K2 tank in particular seems to be a jack of all trades and master of one (mountain warfare). The KF-21 looks like it will follow that trend of being somewhat of a 4.5 gen aircraft thats slightly cheaper and easier to build than others. South Korea are certainly on the upswing with their military hardware and with Poland bwcoming their surprising close ally now, theyre in a very secure place despite their neighbours.
the fact that the F22 is from the 1990s tech for the US and other countries are still working on catching up to that is pretty mind blowing. Folks like to complain about the size of the budget, but always being a generation ahead is the goal of a lot of these highly advanced projects. We already have the F35 now and the B21. Now working on 6th gen while others are still working towards 5th gen.
What's really funny? The whole concept of stealth aircraft is from a Russian concept paper from the '60s, but they couldn't make it fly, too unstable. By the '70s Lockheed got the idea and made it work, giving us the F-117 in 1983 - and it is 100X stealthier than the SU-57. The US is so good at developing stuff that our first stealth fighter is stealthier than the Russian's best attempt about 30 years later. Russians make wild claims, the US gets worried about it and actually builds it.
@@recoil53 Historically, Russians have always made wild claims about the number of bombers they had, or how awesome the Mig25 was, and yeah, the US ends up actually building something better to counter those claims like the F-15. The current war in Ukraine should be proof that Russia is a paper bear and quantity doesn't always trump quality. (Not that they have the disposable population that they used to)
@@Phrancis5 Not so certain about that. You can say the same about the US and Afghanistan then. And Ukraine was much stronger than them and on top of that they get military support from everywhere. Russia is basically fighting the whole west nations in Ukraine. Considering that i don't think they are doing too bad.
And it has a record of 1-0 vs an unarmed air balloon. Of course, Canada tried to shoot down a large balloon with canons and it took over 1000 rounds, so maybe it is a better fight than we knew...
The Mig-41 being able to go 4 times the speed of sound would mean that they'd already developed a stealth coating that can survive extremely high temperatures that would melt the coating off, and given the current state of the Russian military, I doubt their R&D department made such coating
A country that has to recomission battle tanks from the fifties from museums to aid its war effort, can't manufacture anything that resembles a modern fighter jet. How many Su 57's do they have? Half a dozen prototypes or so? They'll be recomissioning biplanes from the thirties next...
I think the generation designations for fighters (4th gen, 5th gen, etc.) will become increasingly less clear with time. The generations historically were defined sequentially by speed, maneuverability and, more recently, stealth. All of those are fairly measurable. But increasingly, the new cutting edge relates to avionics and the interoperability of the plane with various weapons platforms, as Simon was alluding to. Those aspects defy neat categories; the effectiveness of a given plane will be as much about its software, weapons and AI as it will be a function of the engines and airframe. The designation “6th generation” will be used for marketing purposes, of course, but the reality will be far more blurred than the clear-cut distinction that the terms “5th” and “6th” tend to imply. And I suspect we'll see a further increase in focus on upgradability... it will be more appealing to improve the capacity of a plane for $5 million than buying a whole new plane for $75 million. Those aspects of the aircraft that are becoming increasingly decisive, such as avionics, are also the ones that can be most easily upgraded, which will lead to even more blurring of the generation labels (Gen 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, etc.)
This makes the competition seem a LOT closer than it really is. Take a look at the US moving its advanced tech all home recently. All the advantages are being brought home and kept under tighter lock and key as progress continues at an even more accelerated pace. No other economy can keep up funding such projects.
Depends who's in the competition. The competition between non-US 6th generation fighters is probably pretty close, but the US plan is basically "everything everyone else is doing, plus trans-pacific endurance and lasers"
No one else in the world has made a "5th gen" aircraft that's an improvement on things the United States has been flying for over 20 years. Only one nation has the capacity to build and fly 6th generation aircraft....the United States. The technological gap in aircraft engines/stealth/weapon systems between America and the rest of the world is one of the largest gaps in the known universe.
@@TheRedneckAtheist …the U.S. has a 7th generation aircraft the TR-3B. Every time they make a new aircraft public knowledge we find out that they’ve had the aircraft for over a decade. Ever since the late 1940s the U.S. jumped decades ahead of the competition in terms of technology. Why do you think that is?
@@TheRedneckAtheist F-35 is a joint program which means parts of it were made by BAE and rolls royce, like the VTOL system and the entire rear fuseladge.
that flygen design up there, i tested that design in a simulation myself years ago while designing some advanced fighter jets not knowing this design actually exists and undergoing tests but it's a bad design. it's stealthy, but can't supercruise, turn rate is pretty much average, consumes a lot of fuel and SUPER HEAVY. SAAB needs to pull some really incredible techs to make a true fifth gen with that design.
@@alphadawg81 Yeah, I know about that typo, but too late. I dislike having that (edited) tag. Personally, I wanted to list Bobby Fisher. But thought that was too long ago. P.S. (Is that 2nd typo triggering you? Because now I'm just playing around.) 😁
Except the F-35 with internal weapons can hang with a slick F-16. It's moot, though, since raw agility is becoming a less relevant factor in air combat. The NGAD is being designed to be less maneuverable than the F-22 in order to maximize stealth, speed, altitude, and fuel efficiency.
Agility is an airshow gimmick. There are no dogfights for modern western aircraft. It is stupid unnecessary risk. Launching a fox-3 before being detected is the goal of air combat right now.
Stepping back in time to the days of the SAAB Viggen, remember that? So my dad (ex-raf) was on holiday in Sweden and driving through the forest he came upon a set of traffic lights, they were red. So he stopped and a Viggen took off right in front of him, straight out of the mountain. He was impressed lol.
@@lijohnyoutube101 not quite like that... the swedes keep some of the airfields underground inside of mountains, and their runways are the literal roads that run to those underground bases. so, guy had to stop at a red light, because the plan had a green light and had right of way, on a public road, to take off out of a mountain.
yeah the rugged survivability of the Viggens and the Swedish air force is pretty awesome - although yrs of espionage and better spy-sats surely have uncovered most of those bunkers.
Swedish aircrafts are required to take of from forest roads in case of the normal airbase is bombed to oblivion by Russian nukes in WWIII. It is called flygbassystem 90 or just bas 90.
When countries can't even home grow current generation tech, but decide they can outdo what is available, they're probably 2 generations behind the guys with the platforms in the air now.
For sure. But also look what's happening with the United States currently. Other countries are tired of being bullied and terrorized. What the American public is just starting to realize is what the rest of the world has seen for many years. Corruption backing itself into a corner with no friends. Other nations are not going to depend on the United States when its govt has a need for never ending war. But you also have to figure there is a high degree of misinformation when it comes to military amongst super powers. The United States also spends a great sum of money on black projects through independent contractors so what the military has vs what they are capable of deploying Is 2 different things.
@@slammerw3 us will never sell the latest aircraft and lose theor aedge. even the f35 india has now got is merely c version without a lot of the hi tech gadgetry
It’s an exciting time in military aviation! The development of fifth and sixth generation fighters is providing fertile ground for nations to advance their own indigenous aircraft, aerospace, and defense sectors.
@Gerald HSome European countries can do it indigenously but If they don't collaborate they will have a hard time selling to their neighbours since everyone wants a piece of the cake
I remember a decade ago western defense analysts were making fun of Turkey for even attempting to build a fighter jet. They said it would literally take Turkey 40 to 50 years before they even got to the phase of taxi tests for a 4th gen plane when the world had long moved on. In that 10 years Turkey build a drone empire, it has gotten to the point it's making actual drone fighter jets and the TFX has just done it's taxi tests and will soon fly it's maiden flight. Ps just for the record the RR engines are temporary and indigenous engines are already close to being ready.
You forgot to mention the Air Force and Navy NGAD programs will produce two very different planes with shared technologies. The US Military learned from its mistakes of a one size fits all fighter. The needs of the Navy and Air Force planes are very different.
I went up in an English Electric Lightning once, a T-2. We were doing over MACH 1 vertically, and overshot to almost 100,000 feet. It was most exciting. I think those tweaks worked. 👍😎🙃
100k ft in an unpressurized fighter jet cockpit (reasons for the mask) is certain death without a full on space suit. Reason why U-2 pilots had to wear one
I feel like it could have been a real and functional machine, but the sanctions have pushed Russia back into the Stone Age, and even if it was possible to produce before the Ukraine war, I don’t think it’s possible now.
@@P4Tri0t420 I am definitely a keyboard expert but the official information on the Mig-41 is almost non-existent but what you can find is way beyond the capabilities of today's Russia. Having a dual mode ramjet in a fighter jet designed for speeds of Mach 4 (and potentially stealthy) is something that has never been done before. Looking at the Su-57, it doesn't look like they can keep up at all with China or the US. Russia has a track record of big announcements of all kinds of wonder weapons but what we have seen in Ukraine proves the opposite. Not even their Kinshal weapon is anything special. Those things have been around for decades.
Turkeys TF-X besides the engine is looking promissing and the lower range makes sense since they are recently building aircraft carriers + they have the required air tankers to fill them up whenever needed.
Exactly out of all the aircraft stated the Turkish program is the furthest in development and has the most chance of actually being implemented. Turkey already had a very good understanding of aircraft manufacturing from their drones as well.
@@mth469 what is your point? Turkey doesnt just make propeller driver drones. Their Kızılelma drone is a full stealth 5th gen drone that isnt propeller powered.
@@johnjoe769 That is an RC vehicle flying around with a low powered jet engine from Ukraine built during the years of the Soviet union. Putting angled surfaces on a craft does not make it 5th gen anything. 5th gen or even 4.5 gen aircraft have to exhibit certain features that range from super cruise, quadruplex fly-by-wire, effective EW, ECM, ECCM, very long range and accurate weapons targetting and delivery, AESA solid state radar and weapon integration with such radars, multi-role, all weather capability, thrust vectoring and > 1.x thrust to weight ratio, heavy weapons payload carrying capacity, STOL, secure comm system and IFF, whole bunch of other stuff. These days putting on an angled metal frame over anything with wings and claiming it is 5th gen has turned into a bullsh&t sport. You can almost tell who does not know a thing about military aerospace by the ones making such claims. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta get into my 5th gen car which has a dent in its side from some guy who dinged my car door 🚪 and get outta here. The door is no longer smooth, it has the sheet metal going in all kinds of angles and therefore is 5th gen.
The F22 is still bleeding edge compared to what other countries can field that isn't US derived (Which China's plane is based on stolen airplane data).
Well. No progress worth a damn. When you are so leaky . The capture of the RQ stealth drone in Iran . Did more actual damage than a squadron of f22 could ever do for example.
I don't think Saab has to worry anyone soon. Their project with Boeing for a new trainer for the USAF has recently been pushed back two years after already having been pushed back multiple times. I guess their digital engineering still needs some work. The Franco-German project doesn't really make sense because those two countries probably want very different things out of their jets. For the same reason, I think the British-Japanese-Swedish (-Italian?) project is more likely to be successful. They all likely want similar features in a jet, first being something with some legs to it and the durability to operate in a naval environment. The Boramae is likely to see export success, but I can also easily see the US developing something to undercut it. If the US enters that market segment, it would be difficult to beat the economies of scale. The Ukraine war probably makes it more likely the US enters the segment considering that Ukraine showed the need for another type of aircraft in the US inventory, the sanctions on Russia opened up a hole in the market the Su-75 was supposed to fill, and the US probably wants a new Freedom fighter to offer countries during this new cold war. As for India, well, its India. Who knows what they are going to do. They certainly don't.
No mention of the UK BAeS Tempest, or the UK being the ONLY joint-partner on the F-35B Lightning II. The UK will probably collaborate with Italy, Turkey, and India.
Most of these aircraft are gen 4++ or gen 5+. There's quite a ways to go to be considered gen 6. The only ones decently close are the US with its NGAD and FA-XX programs. South Korea itself said its aircraft will be gen 4+.
You are half correct. As of right now, the KF-21 us only a 4.5 gen fighter but their hopes for future blocks are expected to allow it to have more 5th gen capabilities such as internal weapons and better stealth.
gen 6 developments aren't all advanced as the US, the US already built a demonstrator. That said, you can't call them gen 5+ when we barely know anything
The Mig 41 will be ready for production about the same time Napoleon rides into Moscow. You hit the nail on the head Simon. These regional powers are all free to "ATTEMPT" developing a sixth generation fighter jet. Actually doing so is another matter entirely. While the US already has 8th Gen. on the drawing boards. Anything you see is fifty years behind where we are, or are we? We want to keep our adversary's guessing, wouldn't you? God Bless NATO. God Bless the pilots, best job ever! Pax Americana
"We want to keep our adversary's guessing, wouldn't you?" Haha, and the other's were just that: they all show and tell you as it is? You figured it all out dont you yankee boy.
8th gen???Buddy the us hasn't even rolled 🗞️ it 6 gen yet maybe they have 7th gen on the drawing boards but we don't have the tech to have any idea what 8 gen would be since theres like a 2 to 30 year gap between each gen
Russia's Su-57 Felon (or Flying Potemkin at this point) is barely in service, the US uses F-18s as aggressors to train for it because that's about what the radar signature of the Su-57 is. It is not a 5th generation fighter, it is at best a serviceable 4.5 gen aircraft, if I'm being generous, despite Russia's ever reliable claims to the contrary.
(X) doubt. Operating a drone from hundreds of miles away incurs a bunch of lag. If you ever lived on the east coast of the US and tried to play a west coast server, you know that controls feel sluggish. That's an absolute non-starter for air combat when seconds might as well be lifetimes.
With military resources, i can imagine it feasible in the 250ms range. Still quite a bit of delay, but with AI handling alot of the quickthinking and human interaction guiding targets and objectives, it really does sound like it could work
@@Ilyak1986 What I think will end up happening is drones that are capable of flying themselves but executing commands issued by their "pilots" rather than being controlled directly by them. That or being controlled by aircraft that are closer to the battle, maybe having control stations in things like an AWACS.
I'm posting this before I even watch your video because I know that after I've seen it, I'm still going to think the same thoughts that I'm having right now. That is it doesn't matter whether it's a 6th gen fighter a 7th gen fighter or whatever it's going to be a Gen X drone that can outperform them all that will rules the sky and ultimately be the shnizdit of the skies. I feel it might already be sitting in a hanger at the Skunkworks in Groom Lake as we speak. 😊
France, Germany and Spain are working on FCAS, but Tempest will be fielded sooner as it is a less ambitious project. More of a Gen 5+, beacuse unlike the UK and Japan, Germany and France have 2 companies that are producing fighter jets (Dassault and Airbus).
Airbus is not a fighter jet company, Dassault is. What Airbus can bring is massive building capability and experience in multi country cooperation. Probably best 6 generation fighter project outside the USA.
@@samuelgordino Airbus is building the Eurofighter, it also built the Tornado and is providing expertise to other fighter projects. It’s not heavy on military production, but it certainly has expertise in fighter production.

It's made to fill the role of the F5/F15 though, with the design being a firm 4.5gen with hopes of 5th gen later on. So it's more like a F15 with F22 characteristics

The part about the Swedish plane is actually very out of date. Japan has replaced Sweden in the Tempest program and last year, the Swedish government tasked Saab with creating initial studies for what a next-gen fighter would need to be and how feasible it will be to develop domestically. Saab themselves have said that they're already developing several alternatives and that the Gripen won't be the last Swedish fighter. So it's most certainly not been canceled or folded into something else, but is more real than it ever has been.
@@FallenPhoenix86 I'm not so sure about that. Remember, the Swedish army is growing, goals are to return to the size we had during the cold war. That would likely mean 400 combat aircraft. Also, I'm sure Sweden will aim to have partner countries on board. I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil and Poland would join in. Or potentially, the FS2020 will be a partner-project with the Tempest, becoming part of an European low-high mix.
@@jakobholgersson4400 A force of 400 indigenous 5th gen fighters in Sweden just isn't realistic, it's cost prohibitive. Brazil have just bought brand new Gripen NG's, they're not going to be looking for any other new fighters for a very long time. For most any low end of a high low mix will be the F-35's that are coming online right now.
@@illuminati2341 China don't have that many YET, but they're developing a whole range of new designs. Also, China's stealth fighters are intended to be air superiority fighters good for power projection at long range, intended to be as good as the F-22. Sweden has NEVER had that as part of its doctrine. Cheap, versatile fighters have always been the ambition. So the Swedish plane will likely be smaller than the F-35. And the Gripen already has many of the capabilities that plane has. Sweden isn't likely to buy a single batch of 400. It'll likely co-exist with the Gripen for decades.
Am personally looking forward to the time when a nation can create the Valkyrie V series for its Air Force (the V-102 was the official fighter in SDF Macross (Robotech)).
That was the space fighter, the famous fighter from Macross / Robotech anime was the "VF -1 (A / J / S) series" ("accidentally" licensed to Transformers as "Jet Fire"). Source : I am a fan since 1984 and have several different VF-1 toys and models (as well as Macross only VF - 19, VF - 25, VF - 171, etc, ).
yes and no... the UAC pretty much owns every major Russian Aeronautical design beaureu, and they have merged mig and sukoi into the same facilities, and are managed as a single entity, however, the UAC stated they would retain the Branding of SU and MiG aircraft seperate, but never specified how, or in what way.
With Sweden joining NATO I see collaborating with the UK, Italy, and Japanese the most likely. The electronic warfare capability of Sweden's recent plane make it a compelling contributor.
The F35 really isn't high tech in 2023. It's a flying supercomputer - from 2006. The Block4 upgrade plans to increase computing power by 30 times, simply by sticking in CPUs and GPUs that today any gaming PC has. Now, don't get me wrong, a 2006 computer beats the analogue gauges in a 4th gen fighter any day of the week, but any F35 pilot will confirm that the current look-through-cockpit feature has 2006 graphics. And not Crysis, that's for sure.
I can only assume you’re conflating consumer electronics with avionics and combat systems. because that is the only explanation for such an unqualified statement. Name a military aircraft in service that even comes close to the F-35 in regards to being “high tech”. I’ll wait… Just one.
@@jimmyw7530 the F-22 comes closest, but the F-35 is still quite a ways ahead in terms of the inner workings. Just a shame that the Raptor was so optimized for flight performance that the cockpit area isn't big enough to get the new avionics upgrades.
Sir I would like you to make a video on all the fighter jet programmes currently in India Like Tejas mk1/1A Tejas mk 2 AMCA Ted-Bf and stealth UCAVs like Ghatak
We'd have affordable healthcare and housing if the Republicans just got voted out. After all, the Europeans will have next-gen fighters *AND* universal healthcare.
Shape of the jet is a response to current radar technologies limits. As soon as radar methodologies (& RF frequencies) change, shape must follow. Hence the likeliness of all these fighter jet shapes. Form follows function. Simple as that. If someone would invent a method of full RF absorption, not just partial reducing radar footprint to a bird-size at a certain distance, the shapes of fighter jets will eventually get much more differentiated and unique.
It's good marketing, also. If the USA is taking itself out of the export market, having an offering that looks like the F22 is good for trying to sell to those who WISH they could buy F22. It also gives the perception of "copying" a proven design in order to save costs and mitigate technology risk. In truth, it probably doesn't really save costs that much. I mean, look at how troublesome and expensive the F-35 development was, despite a basically similar configuration to the F-22. But this perception is important for securing sales.
@@IsaacKuo i doubt that because the perception will be blown apart once a potential customer turns on their ground radar to see if indeed it is invisible to radar.

Love that you mentioned SAAB so many times. Made some great cars too.
Can't wait to see them in action, in Ace Combat 8.
The real question here is, when does that launch? lol
The music introducing the Turkish TF-X! Very brooding, very menacing!!!
Unfortunately there's been a recent development involving the Flygsystem 2020 and Sweden is no longer involved with the Anglo-Japanese fighter program since the UK wasn't willing to share any meaningful workload or technology with the Swedes. So they'll develop their own fighter through SAAB, which has proven themselves incredibly capable engineers time and again, and will probably seek economical partnership with other countries to share the development costs.
Good luck to them finding someone with the means to contribute and the requirements for such a system that isn't already involved in another program.
Ahem "Fly G System" xD
bloody brits, spent all their money on tea and biscutes, had nothing left for 6th gen fighers
Darn,those brits are at it again XD
@@FallenPhoenix86 Logically they should approach their neighbors for a partnership on a Scandinavian aircraft that will help support the air defences of all of them.
The turkish part seems to be poor researched. Turkey has a lot of experience when it comes to fighter jets. They produeced parts for the F-35 and have been producing F-16 under licenese many years. And Sweden has no particioation in the TF-X project and the only critical part seems to be the engine where there is a collabartion with BAE systems and Turkey's own progress creating an jet engine.
It wasn't that the US wouldn't sell Turkey the F-35, its that they wouldn't allow Turkey to join in the development side of the program and wouldn't share certain secretive technical specifications. Turkey also bought the Russian S-400s AA system, and there were concerns that Russia would use the radar systems in those to improve their targeting abilities.
Nailed it ... Correct response
Turkey should not be in NATO if we don't trust them
Turkey still builds the mid-bodies for the F35 program. It's kinda weird
President Erdogan has a volatile relationship with NATO. When the US wouldn’t sell the Patriot SAM system he went and ordered the S-400.

Everything SK are building right now seems to be designed to become as proliferated as any Soviet or US product has been. The K2 tank in particular seems to be a jack of all trades and master of one (mountain warfare).
The KF-21 looks like it will follow that trend of being somewhat of a 4.5 gen aircraft thats slightly cheaper and easier to build than others.
South Korea are certainly on the upswing with their military hardware and with Poland bwcoming their surprising close ally now, theyre in a very secure place despite their neighbours.
It'd not a surprise. They're both in the usa's buddy program, like Israel has been, since day one
the fact that the F22 is from the 1990s tech for the US and other countries are still working on catching up to that is pretty mind blowing.
Folks like to complain about the size of the budget, but always being a generation ahead is the goal of a lot of these highly advanced projects.
We already have the F35 now and the B21.
Now working on 6th gen while others are still working towards 5th gen.
What's really funny? The whole concept of stealth aircraft is from a Russian concept paper from the '60s, but they couldn't make it fly, too unstable.
By the '70s Lockheed got the idea and made it work, giving us the F-117 in 1983 - and it is 100X stealthier than the SU-57. The US is so good at developing stuff that our first stealth fighter is stealthier than the Russian's best attempt about 30 years later.
Russians make wild claims, the US gets worried about it and actually builds it.
@@recoil53 I did not know that. cool! thanks for sharing :)
@@recoil53 Historically, Russians have always made wild claims about the number of bombers they had, or how awesome the Mig25 was, and yeah, the US ends up actually building something better to counter those claims like the F-15. The current war in Ukraine should be proof that Russia is a paper bear and quantity doesn't always trump quality. (Not that they have the disposable population that they used to)
@@Phrancis5 You'd think the Russians would have learned to undersell.
@@Phrancis5 Not so certain about that. You can say the same about the US and Afghanistan then. And Ukraine was much stronger than them and on top of that they get military support from everywhere.

Considering that i don't think they are doing too bad.
The F-22 probably is the best in service fighter plane all around. Which is pretty astonishing as it’s been in service since what, 2007?
America is the best at aviation
on paper? 1999
And it has a record of 1-0 vs an unarmed air balloon.
Of course, Canada tried to shoot down a large balloon with canons and it took over 1000 rounds, so maybe it is a better fight than we knew...
The YF-22 first flew in 1990.
F-22 would be the best air superiority fighter all around. However it's very specialised so the F-35 is arguably better due to its versatility
The Mig-41 being able to go 4 times the speed of sound would mean that they'd already developed a stealth coating that can survive extremely high temperatures that would melt the coating off, and given the current state of the Russian military, I doubt their R&D department made such coating
A country that has to recomission battle tanks from the fifties from museums to aid its war effort, can't manufacture anything that resembles a modern fighter jet. How many Su 57's do they have? Half a dozen prototypes or so? They'll be recomissioning biplanes from the thirties next...

I think the generation designations for fighters (4th gen, 5th gen, etc.) will become increasingly less clear with time. The generations historically were defined sequentially by speed, maneuverability and, more recently, stealth. All of those are fairly measurable. But increasingly, the new cutting edge relates to avionics and the interoperability of the plane with various weapons platforms, as Simon was alluding to. Those aspects defy neat categories; the effectiveness of a given plane will be as much about its software, weapons and AI as it will be a function of the engines and airframe. The designation “6th generation” will be used for marketing purposes, of course, but the reality will be far more blurred than the clear-cut distinction that the terms “5th” and “6th” tend to imply. And I suspect we'll see a further increase in focus on upgradability... it will be more appealing to improve the capacity of a plane for $5 million than buying a whole new plane for $75 million. Those aspects of the aircraft that are becoming increasingly decisive, such as avionics, are also the ones that can be most easily upgraded, which will lead to even more blurring of the generation labels (Gen 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, etc.)
This makes the competition seem a LOT closer than it really is.
Take a look at the US moving its advanced tech all home recently. All the advantages are being brought home and kept under tighter lock and key as progress continues at an even more accelerated pace. No other economy can keep up funding such projects.
Depends who's in the competition. The competition between non-US 6th generation fighters is probably pretty close, but the US plan is basically "everything everyone else is doing, plus trans-pacific endurance and lasers"
No one else in the world has made a "5th gen" aircraft that's an improvement on things the United States has been flying for over 20 years.
Only one nation has the capacity to build and fly 6th generation aircraft....the United States.
The technological gap in aircraft engines/stealth/weapon systems between America and the rest of the world is one of the largest gaps in the known universe.
@@darthmercur3067 …the U.S. is already flying a 7th generation air craft. The TR-3B.
@@TheRedneckAtheist …the U.S. has a 7th generation aircraft the TR-3B. Every time they make a new aircraft public knowledge we find out that they’ve had the aircraft for over a decade. Ever since the late 1940s the U.S. jumped decades ahead of the competition in terms of technology. Why do you think that is?
@@TheRedneckAtheist F-35 is a joint program which means parts of it were made by BAE and rolls royce, like the VTOL system and the entire rear fuseladge.
that flygen design up there, i tested that design in a simulation myself years ago while designing some advanced fighter jets not knowing this design actually exists and undergoing tests but it's a bad design. it's stealthy, but can't supercruise, turn rate is pretty much average, consumes a lot of fuel and SUPER HEAVY. SAAB needs to pull some really incredible techs to make a true fifth gen with that design.
Comparing your agility against an F-35 is like saying you're a better basketball player than Gary Kasperov.
Kasparov. ...it's okay though, I don't know sh*t about jet fighters.😉
@@alphadawg81 Yeah, I know about that typo, but too late. I dislike having that (edited) tag.
Personally, I wanted to list Bobby Fisher. But thought that was too long ago.
P.S. (Is that 2nd typo triggering you? Because now I'm just playing around.) 😁
Except the F-35 with internal weapons can hang with a slick F-16.
It's moot, though, since raw agility is becoming a less relevant factor in air combat. The NGAD is being designed to be less maneuverable than the F-22 in order to maximize stealth, speed, altitude, and fuel efficiency.
The Russian and Chinese 5th gen planes have superior maneuverability simply because they are fake stealth planes.
Agility is an airshow gimmick. There are no dogfights for modern western aircraft. It is stupid unnecessary risk. Launching a fox-3 before being detected is the goal of air combat right now.
A video on the Yugoslavia aircraft program would be appreciated
I really like the Boramae, it's like a baby F-22
Maybe its it's size, but for some reason the KF-21 gives me F-5 Tiger vibes... like the F-5 and F-22 had a lovechild.
most of these concepts look like baby F-22s
F-22 has a lot of kids in a lot of other countries, apparently. He swears he's never cheated on the USA, though.
The Felon may be behind the cutting edge but it looks great doing it.
Stepping back in time to the days of the SAAB Viggen, remember that? So my dad (ex-raf) was on holiday in Sweden and driving through the forest he came upon a set of traffic lights, they were red. So he stopped and a Viggen took off right in front of him, straight out of the mountain. He was impressed lol.
Like ATL in US, one runway runs right over the highway!
@@lijohnyoutube101 not quite like that...
the swedes keep some of the airfields underground inside of mountains, and their runways are the literal roads that run to those underground bases.
so, guy had to stop at a red light, because the plan had a green light and had right of way, on a public road, to take off out of a mountain.
yeah the rugged survivability of the Viggens and the Swedish air force is pretty awesome - although yrs of espionage and better spy-sats surely have uncovered most of those bunkers.
Swedish aircrafts are required to take of from forest roads in case of the normal airbase is bombed to oblivion by Russian nukes in WWIII.
It is called flygbassystem 90 or just bas 90.
When countries can't even home grow current generation tech, but decide they can outdo what is available, they're probably 2 generations behind the guys with the platforms in the air now.
For sure. But also look what's happening with the United States currently. Other countries are tired of being bullied and terrorized. What the American public is just starting to realize is what the rest of the world has seen for many years. Corruption backing itself into a corner with no friends. Other nations are not going to depend on the United States when its govt has a need for never ending war. But you also have to figure there is a high degree of misinformation when it comes to military amongst super powers. The United States also spends a great sum of money on black projects through independent contractors so what the military has vs what they are capable of deploying Is 2 different things.
That or it will take probably twice the amount of time to develop
Or industrial espionage has occurred to close the gap.
and how are you gonna install windows 11 from an windows XP that you are currently running? there seems to be little cap in tech there.
Considering BAE and Rolls royce both developed parts of the F-35 I think they have a good amount of cutting edge fighter experiance.

In that 10 years Turkey build a drone empire, it has gotten to the point it's making actual drone fighter jets and the TFX has just done it's taxi tests and will soon fly it's maiden flight.

I feel like it could have been a real and functional machine, but the sanctions have pushed Russia back into the Stone Age, and even if it was possible to produce before the Ukraine war, I don’t think it’s possible now.
@@P4Tri0t420 I am definitely a keyboard expert but the official information on the Mig-41 is almost non-existent but what you can find is way beyond the capabilities of today's Russia. Having a dual mode ramjet in a fighter jet designed for speeds of Mach 4 (and potentially stealthy) is something that has never been done before. Looking at the Su-57, it doesn't look like they can keep up at all with China or the US. Russia has a track record of big announcements of all kinds of wonder weapons but what we have seen in Ukraine proves the opposite. Not even their Kinshal weapon is anything special. Those things have been around for decades.
It's funny how willing the west is to believe anything Russia claims given current situations...
Tfx even did the first taxi test, why didn't you add the video?

Turkeys TF-X besides the engine is looking promissing and the lower range makes sense since they are recently building aircraft carriers + they have the required air tankers to fill them up whenever needed.
Exactly out of all the aircraft stated the Turkish program is the furthest in development and has the most chance of actually being implemented. Turkey already had a very good understanding of aircraft manufacturing from their drones as well.

@@johnjoe769
That is an RC vehicle flying around with a low powered jet engine from Ukraine built during the years of the Soviet union. Putting angled surfaces on a craft does not make it 5th gen anything.
5th gen or even 4.5 gen aircraft have to exhibit certain features that range from super cruise, quadruplex fly-by-wire, effective EW, ECM, ECCM, very long range and accurate weapons targetting and delivery, AESA solid state radar and weapon integration with such radars, multi-role, all weather capability, thrust vectoring and > 1.x thrust to weight ratio, heavy weapons payload carrying capacity, STOL, secure comm system and IFF, whole bunch of other stuff.
These days putting on an angled metal frame over anything with wings and claiming it is 5th gen has turned into a bullsh&t sport.
You can almost tell who does not know a thing about military aerospace by the ones making such claims.
Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta get into my 5th gen car which has a dent in its side from some guy who dinged my car door 🚪 and get outta here. The door is no longer smooth, it has the sheet metal going in all kinds of angles and therefore is 5th gen.
The Kaan already has the 6th gen feature of bi-directional information sharing with drone swarms

MiG 41 May end up like their new tank. Looks and sounds good but only 10 to 20 produced (maybe)
But how many Shaq per hour do these planes go?
How am I supposed to have a frame of reference without a realistic form of measure?! 😢
I forget Simon, have you done a video about the YF 21? because at first I thought this was going to be about it. good video though.
I don't think Saab has to worry anyone soon. Their project with Boeing for a new trainer for the USAF has recently been pushed back two years after already having been pushed back multiple times. I guess their digital engineering still needs some work.
The Franco-German project doesn't really make sense because those two countries probably want very different things out of their jets.
For the same reason, I think the British-Japanese-Swedish (-Italian?) project is more likely to be successful. They all likely want similar features in a jet, first being something with some legs to it and the durability to operate in a naval environment.
The Boramae is likely to see export success, but I can also easily see the US developing something to undercut it. If the US enters that market segment, it would be difficult to beat the economies of scale. The Ukraine war probably makes it more likely the US enters the segment considering that Ukraine showed the need for another type of aircraft in the US inventory, the sanctions on Russia opened up a hole in the market the Su-75 was supposed to fill, and the US probably wants a new Freedom fighter to offer countries during this new cold war.
As for India, well, its India. Who knows what they are going to do. They certainly don't.
u forgot Spain in the FCAS program
And the fact that the brits,italians are in it aswell...
No mention of the UK BAeS Tempest, or the UK being the ONLY joint-partner on the F-35B Lightning II.
The UK will probably collaborate with Italy, Turkey, and India.
Most of these aircraft are gen 4++ or gen 5+. There's quite a ways to go to be considered gen 6. The only ones decently close are the US with its NGAD and FA-XX programs. South Korea itself said its aircraft will be gen 4+.
You are half correct.
As of right now, the KF-21 us only a 4.5 gen fighter but their hopes for future blocks are expected to allow it to have more 5th gen capabilities such as internal weapons and better stealth.
gen 6 developments aren't all advanced as the US, the US already built a demonstrator. That said, you can't call them gen 5+ when we barely know anything
Bro in a century we're going to be flying X-Wings
Great video!
The Mig 41 will be ready for production about the same time Napoleon rides into Moscow.
You hit the nail on the head Simon. These regional powers are all free to "ATTEMPT" developing a sixth generation fighter jet. Actually doing so is another matter entirely. While the US already has 8th Gen. on the drawing boards. Anything you see is fifty years behind where we are, or are we? We want to keep our adversary's guessing, wouldn't you?

I'm calling it Fly-G-System from now on
Russia's Su-57 Felon (or Flying Potemkin at this point) is barely in service, the US uses F-18s as aggressors to train for it because that's about what the radar signature of the Su-57 is. It is not a 5th generation fighter, it is at best a serviceable 4.5 gen aircraft, if I'm being generous, despite Russia's ever reliable claims to the contrary.
That is the RCS of the test plane... That is NOT the RCS of the actual production model.
The actual RCS of the block 2 model, is around 0.008.

I'm an engineer and follow military tech a bit, imagine of all those scientists and engineers and money built things to save our world, I sound a bit hippy now, our angry war ape species wont be around in such large numbers soon I think.
So it's fair to say Türkiye is building a TAI fighter ?
It's amazing how most of these aircraft look like F-35 copies with a sprinkling of F-22 ! I guess we should be flattered. 😊
It’s probably just the demands of stealth shaping that results in a similar look to be honest
Open a physics book for us will ya
The part about the Swedish plane is actually very out of date. Japan has replaced Sweden in the Tempest program and last year, the Swedish government tasked Saab with creating initial studies for what a next-gen fighter would need to be and how feasible it will be to develop domestically. Saab themselves have said that they're already developing several alternatives and that the Gripen won't be the last Swedish fighter.
So it's most certainly not been canceled or folded into something else, but is more real than it ever has been.
Given how small the production run is going to be the economics of developing the FS2020 will kill it before it leaves the drawing board.
@@FallenPhoenix86 I'm not so sure about that. Remember, the Swedish army is growing, goals are to return to the size we had during the cold war. That would likely mean 400 combat aircraft.
Also, I'm sure Sweden will aim to have partner countries on board. I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil and Poland would join in. Or potentially, the FS2020 will be a partner-project with the Tempest, becoming part of an European low-high mix.
@@jakobholgersson4400
A force of 400 indigenous 5th gen fighters in Sweden just isn't realistic, it's cost prohibitive.
Brazil have just bought brand new Gripen NG's, they're not going to be looking for any other new fighters for a very long time.
For most any low end of a high low mix will be the F-35's that are coming online right now.
@@jakobholgersson4400Even China dont have 400 stealth Fighters you really think a small Country like Sweden will?
@@illuminati2341 China don't have that many YET, but they're developing a whole range of new designs.
Also, China's stealth fighters are intended to be air superiority fighters good for power projection at long range, intended to be as good as the F-22. Sweden has NEVER had that as part of its doctrine. Cheap, versatile fighters have always been the ambition. So the Swedish plane will likely be smaller than the F-35. And the Gripen already has many of the capabilities that plane has.
Sweden isn't likely to buy a single batch of 400. It'll likely co-exist with the Gripen for decades.
Am personally looking forward to the time when a nation can create the Valkyrie V series for its Air Force (the V-102 was the official fighter in SDF Macross (Robotech)).
That was the space fighter, the famous fighter from Macross / Robotech anime was the "VF -1 (A / J / S) series" ("accidentally" licensed to Transformers as "Jet Fire"). Source : I am a fan since 1984 and have several different VF-1 toys and models (as well as Macross only VF - 19, VF - 25, VF - 171, etc, ).
werent mig and sukoi intergrated into one company? so the focus would be on sukoi builds rather than mig
yes and no... the UAC pretty much owns every major Russian Aeronautical design beaureu, and they have merged mig and sukoi into the same facilities, and are managed as a single entity, however, the UAC stated they would retain the Branding of SU and MiG aircraft seperate, but never specified how, or in what way.
One of my favorite houses ever shown on your channel.
Would love to own it!
The KF21 looks exactly like F35 I had to rewind to make sure there wasn't a mix up. My money is on GCAP.
they all look similar.
Which fighter has the most stealth?
...
The one which never leaves the drawing board. 😜😁😇😇
With Sweden joining NATO I see collaborating with the UK, Italy, and Japanese the most likely. The electronic warfare capability of Sweden's recent plane make it a compelling contributor.
'The electronic warfare capability of the latest Swedish aircraft' It is supplied by Italian Leonardo
No mention of the Dassault Rafale alongside the Eurofighter and Gripen, or the FCAS in the video in general? *sad baguette noises*
There is this beautiful moment where he explains "Germany and France don t have the technology that Japan and UK have"... lol.
The F35 really isn't high tech in 2023. It's a flying supercomputer - from 2006. The Block4 upgrade plans to increase computing power by 30 times, simply by sticking in CPUs and GPUs that today any gaming PC has. Now, don't get me wrong, a 2006 computer beats the analogue gauges in a 4th gen fighter any day of the week, but any F35 pilot will confirm that the current look-through-cockpit feature has 2006 graphics. And not Crysis, that's for sure.
That's because sixth gen. will be flying sooner than previously stated and 7th gen is already in the works and past the design stage.
Trust me 30 times is a under statement!
I can only assume you’re conflating consumer electronics with avionics and combat systems. because that is the only explanation for such an unqualified statement. Name a military aircraft in service that even comes close to the F-35 in regards to being “high tech”. I’ll wait… Just one.
@@jimmyw7530 the F-22 comes closest, but the F-35 is still quite a ways ahead in terms of the inner workings.
Just a shame that the Raptor was so optimized for flight performance that the cockpit area isn't big enough to get the new avionics upgrades.
Sir I would like you to make a video on all the fighter jet programmes currently in India Like
Tejas mk1/1A
Tejas mk 2
AMCA
Ted-Bf and stealth UCAVs like Ghatak
Love that the Russian fighter is called the "Felon". I know it isn't spelled like that, but it's just too suitable
American Citizens: "Can we just have affordable healthcare & housing😭"
American Government: "Best I can do is Next-Gen Fighters ☺"
We'd have affordable healthcare and housing if the Republicans just got voted out.
After all, the Europeans will have next-gen fighters *AND* universal healthcare.
Kinda interesting how most of these new fighter jets look a lot like the F22. Guess the f22 really had that stealth shape down very well
Shape of the jet is a response to current radar technologies limits. As soon as radar methodologies (& RF frequencies) change, shape must follow. Hence the likeliness of all these fighter jet shapes. Form follows function. Simple as that. If someone would invent a method of full RF absorption, not just partial reducing radar footprint to a bird-size at a certain distance, the shapes of fighter jets will eventually get much more differentiated and unique.
It's good marketing, also. If the USA is taking itself out of the export market, having an offering that looks like the F22 is good for trying to sell to those who WISH they could buy F22.
It also gives the perception of "copying" a proven design in order to save costs and mitigate technology risk. In truth, it probably doesn't really save costs that much. I mean, look at how troublesome and expensive the F-35 development was, despite a basically similar configuration to the F-22. But this perception is important for securing sales.
@@IsaacKuo
i doubt that because the perception will be blown apart once a potential customer turns on their ground radar to see if indeed it is invisible to radar.
