In the great race for the 6th generation fighter, it seems we may be in for a surprise. All points towards that fighter being farther along in development than it was known before. This video will talk about what we know about USAF future fighter and compare it to the US Navy’s future fighter offering.

id like to see a vid on a modern operation barbarossa
I used the link, didn't get a package in game. FYI, good sir.
Love the videos btw!
You think the ngad will be like a futuristic YF-23 ?
Another interesting development is the Rotation Detonation Engine. I dunno if you heard about it, but you didn't mention it in the video. It supposedly has even better fuel efficiency because a fast burn (i.e. combustion engines and normal jets) produces less thrust than a detonation. I don't wanna go into specifics too much, but basically the RDE takes the pulsejet design and changes the thrust type from pulse to continuous. And once they finish developing that engine... both aircraft and missiles are expected to either become smaller with the same speed/range, or stay the same in size but with better speed/range properties. For missiles this would mean an F22 could for example carry more missiles, or longer range ones. For jets, it would mean a major performance upgrade.
But of course, only now that the engine has been (more or less) developed, can they start designing stuff that might use it.
China has Gen 4++ or maybe just maybe Gen 5- if you believe all their Hype. A True 6th Gen would not only be extra Stealth, but really good Radar and Optics, and Advanced Counter Measures, Next Level Missiles, and have amazing situational awareness beyond par as it's safely intergrated into a larger Network. And the Fact is China's trying hard just to make their own underpowered jet engines to normal power out put, and trying to get their Gen 4++ to a Gen 5-, when if the US Hits all it's Target's, that's a Gen 6+ Fighter! Talk about Outmatched! Russia's Felon Fighter is again Gen 5- at best, and is just beyond being a Prototype for Hype, those things have so many issues, and it's not something they can Mass produce, they can barely produce it. China's Big Military Dreams get crushed as soon as they realize just how close our Gen 6 Fighters with Stealth Drone Assets are, not to mention whenever they find out what our successor to the X-37B is, that we Surely already have a few highly classified working prototype variants of. Little Death From Above, the Ultimate High Ground, Above any Atmosphere Skipping Glide Vehicles with Nuclear Warheads... Above them!
This is why china was taking pics of the new Top Gun movie set😂
About 10 years ago I was on a flight to Las Vegas from Phoenix AZ and I just happened to sit right next a guy who had helped develope some of the avionics for the F-22. We got to talking about planes and he told me that the development of the F-22 kickstarted a sort of technology revolution for aircraft and that future projects were going to be much easier and faster because they already had a solid base to start from. The F-22 was so advanced for the time that once they came up with the plans they had to literally engineer the stuff to make it first. They meant that not only did they have to work out the bugs in the airplane, but they had to workout the bugs in the technology that made the airplane. He didn't get into specifics of course, but he was very excited about the future.
Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I believe it, the F-35 always looked like absolute trash and the F-22 always looked next-level, could really see it going places like the Mantis and beyond.
@@chonconnor6144 I believe the F35 is going to be surface to air suppression and the F22 and NGAD will be air superiority. This will make the F15s and other 4th Gen even more lethal as we will suppress the ability of others to resist.
Hopefully China and Russia develop better fighters and neuter the US.
@@JohnSmith-ib1ky Computer says no.😔
100% certainty NGAD has been flying and undergoing tests and evaluations for 14 months already( all three prototypes) . 6 B-21 Raiders are undergoing final checks for dynamic pressure which are the very final thing conducted on runway and taxi before the first flights, this was back in April. Two Raiders are prototypes, and the other four are full production models. FA-XX pro-1 should be complete by December and pro 2 and 3 by next year sometime in March with the first dynamic test sometime in August of 2023.
The underlying technology for the NGAD and F/A-XX program was flying back in 2006. That technology evolved into whatever designs exist today, but the program is a lot older than people realize. And we can expect that a lot of the F-35 program's manufacturing lines and supply lines were built with the idea of converting them over and/or sharing parts. They get all the benefits of scale and preexisting logistics chains, and the true cost is hidden in the F-35.
The Air Force's NGAD appears to be more of an anti-air platform, to allow F-35's to be the main ground-attack vehicle. The modularity of the drone wingmen could allow the NGAD to take on multiple roles at need, but I would think the main role would be to control the skies. The drone wingmen would be capable of higher-G maneuvers than their manned counterparts, so could more easily hunt down opposing aircraft. Electronic warfare will be a vital concern, as the drones will be targets for subversion.
I think people forget that no one had any idea of an "stealth" Blackhawk excistinc before 2011.
The military has stuff more modern than anything us normies could imagine.
That’s what I been saying for years. I bet when a world war starts, us will bring out all its cards. I’m willing to bet us has a force field that blocks nukes, just me tho
The RQ-170 was the one where I was like “we have those?”
Makes complete sense, it’s just a combination of existing technologies.
Wunderwaffe all the way.
The fact that the Americans had stealth throughout the 80s instead of it just being sci-fi Hollywood movie is just mind blowing. No wonder the Soviet Union collapsed.
As a US citizen I would rather have universal healthcare, than a trillion dollar military budget.
F-35 is really an Manufacturing an engineering technology program, the fact it's an aircraft is almost secondary. The F-35 laid the groundwork how to build "in Numbers " an with QC advanced products of most kind.
I doubt the ngad will be spread outside the USA
@@VectorGhost
To be expected. Which is why they're developing their own 6th generation programs.
Your grammar is horrible so it’s pretty hard to lend credibility to anything you’re saying.
The F-35 is the greatest aircraft ever produced. It’s even better at BVR combat than the F-22
@@tylerclayton6081 yeah except fornthe fact that the bore sight for the weapons isnt correct and would require a structural redesign. And that fact that they have been falling out of the sky onnthere own. Or how about to be used as required they have to make use of the wing stores pylons which completely illuminates it stealth capability and low speed , low altitude handling. It has fallen short of every design promise except for the ability to mass produce. Major reason many of the countries that had promised to purchase have already reduced or froze the procurement numbers. Including our own Airforce and Naval Marine services.
Meanwhile Russian ground forces is trying to find chips from washing machine

This comment section feels like a pre school classroom.
I like Binkov but the comment sections here are *always* like this. I don't know what it is about this channel that attracts outright propagandists and jackasses but it does so consistently.
6th Gen Fighter ain't no match agains't Dominic Torreto's family and their cars.
2 dudes went into space in a car with old school scuba suits...
The US is launching the largest rocket in history to test a manned capsule around the moon Saturday, currently developing an advanced fighter jet that will have an accompanying fleet of autonomous stealthy jets and is developing the Ghost Fleet of the navy from autonomous large ships to submarines. Pretty cool.
🤣
LOL, yet they can’t accept the results of the election. US is 3rd world.
@@HonorableBeniah-A Just wait til it all collapses and all of this weaponry and military might is either split between the new countries that emerge or is gobbled up by the biggest, most powerful new country (like what Russia did post USSR) claiming to be the successor state of the USA.
A good chunk of it will fall into disrepair, most, if not all of the overseas military bases will be dismantled, and weapons that ended up in poorer new countries will end up on the black market to be sold to the highest bidder. Or foreign powers will take advantage of this situation to steal some tech for themselves.
I fear the cartel wars are also gonna get much worse.
Rocket didn't lift off
@@elmohead Rocket launches are ever at best 50% likely to actually go. Scrubs are super common - they are a normal part of rocketry. I go to Kennedy Space Center a lot because I live in Fort Lauderdale and its always a complete gamble; I have been to more scrubs than I have to actual launches. Its kind of like hunting; sometimes a deer walks right out in front of you but most of the time nothing happens.
These launch preparations are very important to the mission. The team now has the ability to "practice" putting the rocket up. You have to remember this is the first time the NASA teams have been able to get the rocket on the pad, filled with fuel and seeing what happens. For example, the first scrub got canceled because of insufficient cooling in an engine. This was a procedure with this specific engine (number 3) that the engineers had not been able to practice on; they did get to practice it on engines 1,2 and 4
We don't do it because its easy but because it is hard. There are going to be another 100,000 problems throughout the program. We are colonizing space; not super easy.
The cold war is not in China or any geopolitics, its in the comment section of Binkov's Battlegrounds.
I expect NGAD to be a "windowless" larger than average delta wing aircraft using a "rotational combustion" 3 stream engine. With the advent of the F35 pilot's helmet combined with 360 degree EDAS there is no longer any need for a window as a pilot can essentially "see through the plane". This would allow for a pilot to lay more horizontal making it easier for high G maneuvering. Also with no canopy required it can be more stealthy. A larger plane allows for thicker ram coatings on leading edges, more room for weapons, fuel, sensors, and ECM.
Man that would be bad Ass this new engine sounds awesome 👍😎
@@rosevitelli5814 There have been a number of recent breakthroughs for rotational combustion chambers and 3-stream designs are already working demonstrators with both Pratt & Whitney and GE. I think by time NGAD goes into production both of those technologies could be in play. It would add massive power and efficiency for very high-speed and incredible combat radius. I spent 30 years designing turbine jet engines (retired) and rotational combustion was a goal for most of it, but now it looks like maybe we are finally there, as a demonstrator has flown. Still a lot of work to do but getting close.
I imagine a seat like in the Dragon Capsule where they sit reclined to allow G force to be distributed through the chest instead of down the spine. I imagine there being a pod that hold the seat that can tilt/rotate on all axis at quick speed so the pilot is always sitting into the G force. It sounds crazy, but anything is possible. With a windowless plane, ejections can go down instead of up. That hard jolt up would be much less with gravity assisting on the way down.
@@LottiDotti76 Yes that's exactly what I was thinking about as far as G-loading on the pilot. Being well reclined makes higher G's possible. I had not thought of the idea of a pilot capsule, but yeah that's a great idea. Not only would it allow for ejection up or down as you suggest but perhaps in several directions depending on the orientation of the aircraft. AI and sensors could eject in the direction most survivable to the pilot based on the nearness to the ground, and other things like G-loads. Also a removable pod could be configured based on mission, for example the same plane could swap between manned or unmanned, with a pod for a human or a sensor package, electronics, reconnaissance, etc...
@@_Coffee4Closers well shit, so when we gonna try to drum up the funding to start our joint aircraft design company? LoL. I was thinking along the lines of the multi-directional ejection possibilities but I thought my comment was already too outlandish for some people. I love the pod swap idea for man/unmanned A/C possibilities. That would allow for a pod to be designed to fit each specific pilot so their own perfectly adjusted pod could be swapped between planes. It would be similar to how indy car seats are molded to the drivers body and can be interchanged. LoL, think we can get a godundme page to raise $500 million? LMAO.
I just love how USA is always one step ahead. Waiting for that eagle 🦅 f - 22s are still my favourite . Love from India .
Love from the USA 🇺🇲🙏🇮🇳

Not one step, it's 5 steps.
@@saldav2670 sadly if Modi has his way, y'all are going to be getting closer to Russia instead.
@dionpryor6223 Laser beams, yes. No wings, not yet. But probably a diamond wing.
The F117 was flying for more than seven years before it was revealed to the public.
And then garaged. Not enough money wasted. Burn that cash.
@@rogersmith7396 It performed very well in the Gulf and did so in Eastern Europe until the USAF kept flying the same CAP
@@sichere But its in the garage. What did that one cost the taxpayer for a couple of years of use. I thought only the Navy could waste that kind of money.
@@rogersmith7396 Many weapons from all sides are never used in anger and some prove to be useless but the F177 proved it's worth as a weapon platform.
In the first Gulf war the F-117A's were used to penetrate the Soviet implemented air defenses, logging nearly 1,300 combat sorties flying 6,905 combat flying hours, delivering over 2,000 tons of precision-guided ordnance with a hit rate of better than 80 percent and no loses.
Get Some
@@sichere Now was that the war where Bush and Cheny lied to the American people and got us involved with something that was none of our business except to keep Exxon profitable and cost many lives and billions of dollars and has led to nothing but grief and heartache all around as well as sending the deficit soaring? That war.? Hey you're right if one lousy plane can do that it must be effective. It deserves to be in a garage.
With every new generation the shape of the plane gets closer and closer to the flying saucer shape.
Flying saucers aren't stealthy
The soviets....No not the soviets, Master Yuri already have them haha
*Yuri's collection agency*

Not really, not even close
Imagine if all those "navy released ufo footage" are just mind blowing 7th gen prototypes? that's GG.
I think they are US MIL. T3B or fits alot of the UFO sightings and is on file with the US Patent office with part of it classified. DARPA just publicly released a new type of propulsion system that is unlike anything used in the past. What is public, is not our best and we have a history of testing such projects on our own forces so they can test both how well we can or can´t defend against such systems and of course test without firing the ISR or offensive capabilites of the system in development.
The current mindset, management and strategy of the military is great to see. I love the idea of a smaller fleet being constantly updated to stay ahead on tech. I run a small business and managing it is so difficult - I can't imagine bringing this whole concept together and correctly managing it.
LOL, the US wants 6 gen aircraft and they don’t even have commonsensical gun laws.
downsizing bc we're going broke lol but no one expects ya'll to understand subtext.
@@tryfryingmikejones Downsizing is a way to save costs, if you only need to train 5 pilots to have 25 air craft in the air, that money can be spent on other things, especially as drone pilots won't need anywhere near as much training as an actual one, if they're even going to be piloted remotely rather than act independently and via NGAD pilot command.
If anything, this is efficient and economical.
@@tryfryingmikejones Yeah man, when I as an American taxpayer imagine our current military, I think 'not enough money' and 'too small.' What are you smoking?
@@tryfryingmikejones no, we are downsizing because less people are choosing to join the military these days. And since reinstalling the draft would be extremely unpopular, the US military is going the route of having the best technology so that we can still defeat our enemies at the same or at an even greater capacity.
Cue Russian and Chinese bots
They're everywhere these days right? It's mind-numbing the amount of spam the CCP 10-cent Cyber Army posts all over the comments section on the internet. Easy to single them out and I look forward to the day we figure out a way to cut the trolls/spammers from the comments section for good.

69gs
If we showed this to people in the 40s, they would think it was some kind of alien mothership
Yeah and when you show people the Horten Ho today and tell them it was designed in the 40's they implode.
This was a really dope breakdown for not knowing hardly anything about this program outside of a few veiled public messages basically saying it exists and is in development and has taken flight and that’s it, well done
I'm personally glad that it's classified I really don't care what it looks like as long as our men and women in the military has the best that America can buy
US Gen 6 is already operational. The public just isn’t aware. F-117 flew operationally in 1982. We found out in 1992. F-22 was flying operationally since at least 1995.
F-22 first flight happened 25 years ago
Nonsense. Carbon fibre turbine intake blades are yet to be perfected- probably in 2-3 years. This is Japanese technology as they worked out their F-X would have high Radar detection via reflection from turbine inlets. The central and after parts are less critical.
F-117s weren't used in an actual conflict until 1989, and not seriously until 1991. F-22s weren't flying actual missions until 2005. Yeah, they had the planes sooner, but that doesn't mean they were ready to fight with them.
Most of the unmanned components for NGAD were probably ready in 2006, or soon after, at least the parts that required a lot of serious R&D. If a near-peer war had broken out then, they probably could have rushed the program into a combat force within a short number of months or a year. But what they're flying with now has certainly evolved quite a bit. The whole idea of NGAD is to be modular and constantly upgrading. We know there's a pocket drone swarm force in Tonopah and we can guess at its size from satellite photos of hangar expansion. If war were to break out over Taiwan, no doubt they'd be activated and ready to fight very quickly, but would they have a manned NGAD fighter leading them into battle? Hard to say. I kind of doubt it. They've been flying test flights for at least a few years. Maybe they've got all the bugs worked out by now. We're not talking about a major combat force though, just a training force while they figure out how they're going to fight with the things before they train new guys for the full production runs that are probably not even started yet, or only started very recently. NGAD calls for 200 manned, and 1000 unmanned planes. Those certainly do not yet all exist. Not even a fraction of that.
I think the B-21 is in full swing now, though. It's going to be a while before they're ready for the nuclear triad mission fulfillment, but I'm sure for special operations they could put a bird in the air to do some basic conventional work. They might occasionally be used for their electronic warfare role, or as a stealthy spy plane. We know the B-2s have been getting some serious upgrades and it seems like they're benefiting from lessons learned by the B-21.
Everyone:”It’s a bird,no it’s a plane”
Binkov:”No it’s Lockheed Martin”
The man himself.
6th Gen air power is like a carrier battlegroup in the sky... only faster.
So what I'm getting from this is that the fighter will cost 7 morbillion dollars per unit, but will justify it's cost by being more powerful than most countries' air forces
Edit: not to forget about the nanomachines that will be used as reactive armor for it finally making it a weapon to surpass metal gear
Its cost will be pretty cheap when you consider its R&D budget got disguised as part of the F-35 program and various other drone programs both black budget and public. We'll never know the trust cost, but any large numbers you hear, remember that includes 6 separate air frames.
Looks like the 50 cent army is here
This probably what people see when they say they seen a UFO
No those have green three fingered aliens waving at you. Seen those.
I didnt know we could teleport our planes
Most UFOs can't be explained this easily. They were also spotted during ww1 and ww2.
No, the movement is sudden and extremely sharp.
As advanced as our technology is getting, we’re not even close to the level of technology and physics mastery as what the actual ufo’s show. The UFO’s show absolute mastery of space-time and physics, warping through space, instantly stopping and speeding, no propulsion, etc. if you could warp space-time, you could effectively do all of those things and more.
in fall 2017 I got to ask the commander of the air warfare center about the 6th gen fighter and his response was "I've seen it, its flying, Its really cool, and thats all I can say"
Lol, he was lying to you. The Air Force have admitted that the demonstrator that flew in 2020 was just testing CAD and 3D printing technologies not an actual warbird demonstrator.
@@watcherzero5256 maybe not, the airforce typically has some demonstrator in its back pocket we dont find out about until later. like the boeing bird of prey.
Yes, and I've had convos with a guy who served on a Nimitz carrier swear up and down to me that he saw a completed hull of a CV-X carrier. If you ever hear about a secret project from a military guy, take it with a huge grain of salt.
@@yikemoo To be fair, this same general was court-martialed about a year later for sexual misconduct.
@@holyknight51 lol
We are finally to the point we can actually leverage our technology to make things faster. For example the F-35's advanced helmet display took years and years to make and was troublesome and heavy. If you were to restart the program in 2022 you could do it for a fraction of the price in less than 12 months, mainly because we have a lot more relevant technology available from the commercial sector in both hardware and software.
This would also scale to the entire aircraft. Teams can work on and edit parts in real time on the company's intranet so they can always be up to date on changes and progress.
Also, the NGAD, unlike the F-35, is not going to be a massive International jobs program. The reason F-35 was was that during the 90s they needed additional justification for the program due to short sighted politicians, so International cooperation and jobs building was very important to the politicians (too important).
China and Russia finally figured out 5th gen and here the US is casually working on 6th gen💀😩
Neither is being mass produced like the the US 5th generation
Both of them don’t have any stealth like they claim the j-20 is regularly detected by India on a daily basis and the SU-57 I think is Russia’s 5th gen is in the same boat
@@kendrickfarrell5689 during peacetime stealth fighters use radar reflectors to conceal their real RCS values, india detecting it doesn't mean anything. The J20 is a highly capable aircraft only slightly behind the F-22 and F-35 in stealth, be careful not to underestimate china. You're right about the Su57 though, the least stealthy 5th gen by far and not manufactured enough to be relevant.
The F-35 took so long to develop because in our DoD's infinite wisdom they wanted one plane that could fit the needs of 3 of our Military branches. Unfortunately, the requirements for each of those branches were so far apart that each version of the aircraft required a near redesign to meet those requirements.
It worked out though. The F35 is a good plane in pretty much all variants. People criticize it, but they forget it's 3 different planes, that are all at the same level of technology, and thus are easy to simultaneously upgrade. I think im retrospect, the military will come to appreciate that, and will apply at least some of the benefits of that development strategy to the next planes.
It does that because that's what a modern fighter needs to be able to do. It does all those things because it has to practically be able to do everything at once.
@@Noisy_Cricket People also seem to forget how expensive and time-consuming it is to develop new military technology today, especially if you want it to be top-of-the-line. We could rush stuff and lower costs, but we'd just end up like the Russians with subpar and aging systems.
@@star5398 you can't make a stealth plane that excels in all the roles. It's either going to be ok at one thing and great at another. The F35 is pretty bad as a fighter role. Its main focus is ground attack.
@@deekamikaze the f35 is a great BVR fighter, if you want to talk about dogfighting capabilities then that just defeats the entire purpose of a stealth plane
Your design is maybe a generation away from the alien ships in Independence Day
All these videos are coming out when there is conflict . Thoroughly amazing . :P Timing is impeccable.
I feel like this kind of aircraft should be a two seater. The WSO in the back can help manage the drone’s while to pilot focuses on his other duties.
Makes sense. Single seat fighters for standard missions two-seaters as support for UAV’s
Fun fact: Top Gun: Maverick movie made airplane, the Darkstar was so realistic that it fooled the Chinese military.
Think about it this way:
China can only think it can be real because they already have something somewhat similar in the works.
@@elmohead USA was the first county to introduce the 5th Generation fighter plane and with $750 billion dollar on their military budget, so I think China being worried isn't out of realm of reality. Plus Darkstar is based on the model of the US 6th Generation Fighter plane, that is planned to be completed in the next decade.
JETS WITH DRONES???THATS INSANE 😱
Not at all, search TDN-1
Imagine monitoring radar, and one dot shows up. Next sweep, theres 5… the 4 support UCAV launches the secondary drones, next sweep theres 11 dots, then they all fire their missiles and the 11 dots become 22 or 33 signatures lol 😵
and you've only just detected them from about 10 miles and 2 seconds later you're already dead because it was on a SEAD mission.
Thank you Mr. Binkov, another interesting post.
It's sooner than we think, because the US already had the Tech in the NGAD fighter in various different fighters throughout the past 50 years. Now they've put it all into a single aircraft.
I like how you used EDI from the movie Stealth as the picture for the 6th gen fighter.
I like how the design team from Stealth got EDIs shape pretty accurate
Remove the cockpit and it's a replica of the alien craft from Independence Day. 🤫
my hypothesis on gen 6:
unmanned
low orbit
stealth
Controlling other drones...Then the two person Chinese J20 stealth jet is an operational sixth generation fighter that was debut in 2021. Stupid US Politician are the blame for this....Trying to hide shit like they funded Covid virus in Chinese Lab in Wuhan...too. Biden needs to resign.
It will not be unmanned,it will have manned-unmanned teaming instead
If is low orbit, is not stealthy anymore. Just physics. To achieve orbit it needs to reach escape velocity and then, the heat mark it would be easily detectable...
I remember reading a little over a year ago that they were able to accelerate the program by heavily relying on AI to design the aircraft. They said they went from conception to starting the construction of the first prototype in roughly 18 months time. Idk which program it was about, but they did say it was a delta wing.
google Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, Will Roper
That would make sense with the Groom Lake images. Over 2 days, I enhanced it and got a pretty good picture of the aircraft shape and design. Tailless, delta wing (slightly modified diamond shape), gold tinted canopy, twin engined, probably embedded inlets like yf-23, and a somewhat wide fuselage. If you’ve ever seen Rodrigo Avella’s artwork, it looks very similar to his concepts, not the exact same though. The Air Force has used his art for videos and pictures for future aircraft, I wonder if there is a connection
Your animations have become most excellent, Comrade Binkov!
The future has unlimited potential when it comes to new concepts and technologies. I follow these developments with great interest; thx for uploading!
Great work on this video
Hey it's the Aurora from Command & Conquer Generals!

With gumball sized and shaped "thrust pods" on each side.
I remember going to a bar a couple years ago and there was an older guy who said he worked for a defense contractor and was working on an aircraft that was on the cutting edge of technology and how cool it was to be able to work on the project before the public gets to see it. He didnt specify what it was or which company but he sounded like he was genuinely enthusiastic about it.
The bar better be near an actual facility. I have had my share of old guys in bars telling BS stories.
@@culturecanvas777 it was near lockheed martin in sunnyvale but that location is mainly space systems and missiles as far as i know. He didn't elaborate any further than what i said. There is also a northrop grumman facility in sunnyvale but they are a naval systems facility
I remember as a kid (so like 20 years ago) listening to a lady talk about her son working on "engines that go really really fast, but they can't work unless it is already going 3 times the speed of sound."
Years later I came to realise her son was probably working on Ramjet engines.
Loose lips sink ships.
The thing I find interesting that the idea of a main craft surrounded by autonomous drones sounds a lot like a lot of UFO reports. Considering all the recent UFO 'disclosures' that might be a very interesting coincidence, and perhaps indicative of some... 'creative thinking' for keeping things classified.
You may be onto something here!
reminder that the father of modern UFOology was psyop'd by the USAF into believing test planes were alien ships
All conspiracies are astroturfed by glowies, Q is a fed playing for the other team.
Yeah, the bulk of the UFO reports have been made by military personnel and centered around specific US military test ranges where we know for a fact the Air Force and Navy have been developing their drone swarm programs. Remember that the military, even the separate branches, are not monolithic. Everything is compartmentalized, and a sighting by military personnel doesn't mean something is alien, it just means said military personnel don't need-to-know. Most of the sighting reports seem to reflect the drone swarm concept quite well. A few seem related to a Navy submarine-launched drone platform, including what I personally believe is some kind of electronic warfare system possibly balloon-borne.
The latter I find quite interesting. Possibly the USN plans to counter Chinese anti-ship missiles with ghost carrier fleets that can be made to appear anywhere they like by sending a submarine to deploy them. A submarine would not be seen and tracked by satellite radar systems prior to deployment of the decoys. China's satellites for detecting US ships are known, and we routinely maneuver to avoid their gaze, or change course after they've observed us. We basically know when China knows where we are, and when they don't know, and we've got the entire Five Eyes sucking up every bit of radiation these satellites are leaking. Remember, these aren't optical satellites, but orbital radar systems, and radar systems can be jammed, or given false readings, and they must transmit to see. Thanks to the inverse square law, electronic warfare is always easier than detection is from a bounced-back signal. We might create a false image of anything we like someplace else when they go looking for our ships. We'd know exactly when their radar is on, and where it's pointed. We might already be engaged in a major electronic war all over the Pacific just to screw with them.
The other stuff, multiple strange lights in the sky, flying in formation like one aircraft and then splitting up into multiples, that's easily drones. And these would be relatively small and very hard to detect on radar. They could have dramatic thrust capability and experience very high g maneuvers. Sound familiar?
I can see a 2 seat command plane with a pilot and drone operator, a 1 seat fighter, 1-2 fighter drones, and 4-5 fighter/bomber drones, in a given flight, with live support back at headquarters. So my suggestion would include base drone operators at the same time AND an information liaison who tracks all the incoming data to provide the most up to date real time intelligence.
the jump in technology and changes in maintaince system between f22 n f35 are bigger than most expected.. hence there are lots of complication.. i strongly believe the technological jump between f35 and ngard are essentially not very far apart just a little improvement here and there.. as the biggest improvement come from adoption of technology from other asset (like drone, radars even computer simulated games) as well as changes in strategy.
Great, the US will have 6 gen aircraft but no universal healthcare.
When will the US have Universal healthcare?
@@Honorablebenaiaha Its not in the culture n concept of the nation.. but i do believe there will be a changes in approach toward health care. Obamacare failed cus its tries to mimick EU style but without fully comprehension on the complex dynamics.. now after so decades of experimenting. I believe soon there will be a new concept emerge.
BUT hey this is not political channel.. this is millitary channel.. hahaha
my understanding is that the 6th gen frame was scrapped in June with the realized test flight of the 7th gen frame engineered around LLD system.
It is using the f35 propulsion system (this will bring down costs of f35 maintenance/manufacturing/linechangecosts/etc as modularity is an emphasis in 7th gen design.
I would imagine drones of various 5th, 6th and 7th gen will be built on respective production lines.
@@dontsupportrats4089 whats entails the difference between 6th n 7th gen fighter? This gen stuff is rather arbitrary.. if there is no 6th gen, then whatever come after would be 6th gen not 7th
I bet Northrop gets NGAD. They have seemingly been testing some of the new chrome like coatings that were seen on the F-22 and F-35 which seems like something that came from NGAD and is being used to upgrade what we already have. They also might have more experience than Lockheed if it really is closer to a bomber sized, tailless design. And much like how part of the reason Northrop's YF-23 lost to the Lockheed F-22 was because of how poorly the B-2 program went with cost overruns, Lockheed now has the poor reputation for cost overruns and delays while Northrop is expected to deliver the B-21 on time and under budget. It would also further explain why Northrop pulled out of the T-X program. Initially, people said it was so they could concentrate on the B-21, but given the differences in type and timeline, I could see that mattering less and the real reason being work on the NGAD.
I would like to see the YF-23 come back as NGAD, I think its time has finally come (stealth>all else including fancy dogfighting) and it is still a great design. I would still say Lockheed is in the driver's seat for NGAD though. In my opinion: LockMart will get NGAD, Boeing will get the Navy's F/A-XX NGAD program and NG already has the B-21 Raider.
"Lockheed now has the poor reputation for cost overruns and delays"
Like how they balonded the cast of the new Moon rockets engines to as much as a B-2 bomber each and they are just refurbished shuttle engines? And the one failed to cool right a few days ago for the first launch causing people to poke fun at NASA? Those people are hated now I wonder why?
"Closer than you think"
Yeah, 20+ years ago.
as far as development times are concerned, it is best to remember that the f35 is actually 3 different planes. One being VTOL that uses an entirely different solution than what the Harrier used.
'unmanned aircraft usually small.' RQ-180 is rumoured to have the wingspan just a bit larger than a 737 so I think the standard for modern unmanned aircraft is changing.
The NGAD was started in parallel engineering with the F35 in approximately 2010. They used F35 frames to start from.
A lot of the technologies are older than that, going back at least to J-UCAS in 2006, which is also when the F-35 started flying.
i swear i saw one of these delta shaped aircraft cruising very high above san antonio Texas in march 2019. The coolest part was it seemed to be "cloaked" as its underside was colored/ textured like a cloud. So cool to see and I can best describe the craft as a "cloud colored flying pizza slice." ;-)
I like the way Binkov present his shoes, full of juicy detail and no stupid bot voice. It can be taken for granted that the US will field the first 6th Generation fighter and aviation geeks like myself gobble up ever bit of news.
I'm guessing since both the F-22 and F-35 both took 20 years to develop and build the planes, I think they started the 6th gen plane development bank in 2010/2011 or so.....
Go look up the Mcdonell Douglass X-36, was a very successful test aircraft from the late 90's and yet nothing *that we know of* has come from the research from this program. I'd argue that it's the starting point for the NGAD
AI and new digital engineering tools have sped up this NGAD process.
Both the F-14 and SR-71 were both revolutionary and compressed development programs. The next engine looks like a combination of typical engines with multiple compressor plates and the turbojet off the SR-71. It looks like a mix of many existing technologies in a package that is better suited for a long-loiter air superiority/defensive war strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if naval NGAD groups were heavily designed as anti-missile defense systems.
Or they could just use piston planes and fly them from those.
There is one more distinctive model that's kinda like a mini tanker basically , extra fuel for the manned unit
Tom Cruise will find a way to make a movie about this.
Yup and still beat it in a dog fight with a f14
We will be flying the NGAD before Russia produced SU-57 in numbers
your president's incompetence will ruin the plane
@@reb9977 Not how that works

@@ravenmoon5111 yes and in simulated dogfights F-22 is 40:1 against the F-15 even though it is known that in some exercises F-22 pilots were not allowed to do everything they could
@@anotheralpharius2056
Exactly.
Nighthawks Law: Anytime stealth is mentioned it's only a matter of time before someone mentions "that one time" some Gopniks got lucky and shot one down
It was hardly lucky...Col. Dani knew exactly what he was doing, and did his job well. Underestimating or diminishing an opponent is a bad idea.
Good thing technology hasn't advanced in the last quarter century.
.... Right?
All of the America's most advanced platforms are moving to a single wing desing. The B-21 Raider just got announced and it is said to pack many next generation technologies. We also for sure know that the B-21 Raider is an open platform desing which means future tech will improve on the design. I believe that will also be present on the NGAD. Maybe if we want more info on the NGAD we might just look at the B-21.
Rather than pay a ton of money to get all the systems required in every plane, just fly the systems you might need as augmented drone escorts… interesting. Fantastic idea outside of the bureaucratic headache of keeping track of them all and making sure they’re available in the necessary quantities
Cheap this way.
This technology was basically developed and proven back in 2006. Then they canceled the program and buried it out in a black budget project in the desert. By now the drones are probably very advanced. The manned component, though, I suspect that has taken longer to get right. Probably have a small number of planes that are basically ready, and they're still learning how to fight with them.
The advantage is in the modular nature and being able to continually upgrade.
In 2012, Lockheed actually had a list of features that would go on a sixth gen fighter. Increased speed(possibly Mach 3 supercruise), range, multi-spectral stealth, ultimate sensor and awareness capabilities, and self healing structures.
Along with this, next gen propulsion, materials, power generation, radar/sensors, and weapons are all technologies being developed for next gen fighters.
Self sealing fuel tanks have been in production military aircraft since World War 2, I would want the whole plane to be self sealing by now 🩹
@@FarmerDrew That would be great!
Russia is already fielding its fleets of 9th generation fighters, that’s right they’ve skipped 6,7 & 8th generation according to RT
It’s because of inherent Russian genius.
With how the Su-57 is looking, you could also say they skipped 5th gen.
Here we see a wild bot in its natural habitat...
Well if you really want to know, the sixth gen is just a distraction, we’re actually building 12th gen fighters. They have hyperspace speeds, indestructible, carry 500 missiles, plasma cannons, able to evade the IRS, gives out cheaper insulin, and be controlled from another planet. I have some insider knowledge.
@@ksizzle1535 I missed the joke I'm pretty sure. Look man this comment sections a minefield ;-;
Those drones in formation around a manned ship. That's basically Gradius and "options" right there.
One more thing: Traning pilots costs a lot of money and good pilots are not quickly replaceable. Usually a military will run out of pilots before it does run out of planes. Having one pilot to effectifly control 5-6 planes is the way to go. More protection for the pilot while at the same time gaining the capability to carry out risky manouvers which will only risk the drone wingman.
I think US is finally being wise being protective of its innovations 🤓
U.S already mastered the art of stealth. They just have to add more capabilities like decoy drones and speed
Howdy Binkov ! 😎👍
Tom Cruise already flies NGAD since 2012 !
This reminds me of the fictional F/A-37 Talon from the movie Stealth. In the movie computerized jets with artificial intelligence accompany piloted Talon jets.
That’s what America does ! It’s been flying and being tested for over a year. There decades ahead of China and especially Russia. Chinas J20 isn’t even a 5th Gen fighter and still doesn’t have the engines it was designed to have. And here the Americans are flying a 6th Gen fighter already. Here’s a link ruclips.net/video/0DkRRFBlMqU/видео.html you can find all the other links to this fighter.
And yet America still gets kicked by stone age Taliban.
Fear America
Why are npcs so mad at Blinkov?
The plane doesn't exist. While the US is doubtlessly ahead, this is a plane in the drawing board stages. There is no finished design, no prototype and definitely no production model.
This is an ambition, not a weapon. It's a realistic ambition for the US, but there's always the danger that something compleatly changes the game.
The US had the best battleships in the world when the Battleship became obsolete.
Drones, ground based laser anti air system like Israel's Iron Beam or tech that's not really on the public radar (like an alternative to radar that ignores stealth) could end gen 6 before it gets off the ground.
J20 is defs 5th gen. It may have low power out put but it has advanced avionics and stealth that mark 5th gen.
Knowing how Americans always fumble the bag on OpSec, would not be surprised if the data is leaked,hacked, or sold to the Chinese, to jumpstart thier 6th gen program.
Plot twist: These are the "UFOs" that was declassified some time ago
...the "UFOs" that were declassified some time ago
Russian Federation’s best cartoon animators are hard at work creating animations they will claim are real and then they’ll build like 6 of dubious quality and announce the next one and hope everyone forgets
China creates a lot of fake animations too.
We slowly get closer and closer to Ace Combat lore
Let's hope we don't diverge into Project Wingman lore.
Wingman plans could also be used as a refueling plane as well. This would increase the range while not taking away abilities or storage space of other planes.
USA always a step ahead
Such a cool way of highlighting "maybe", "might", "perhaps", "may", "could", "possibly", "likely", "should", "speculation", "evidently", "suggest", "indication", "unknown", "roughly", "usually", "not known"........ :)
People don't realize the F22 was introduced 17 years ago. It was so advanced for its time Russia and China playing catchup to USA's 5th generation we will have a 6th gen already.
If the artist impression reflects reality, it looks more like a Northrop Grumman design. Which might be a refinement of the YF-23 which went head to head against the YF-22 before it was selected and put into production, another reason this might be taking less time.
that thing looks VERY close to what the Empire Earth future fighterplanes look like lol
Binkov I wanted to point out that if the NGAD uses an RDE (rotating detonation engine) it may be up to 20-25% more efficient meaning that it may not need to hit the 100 Ton mark. Just a possibility based on the fact that the AETP (Adaptive Engine Transition Program) has seen some back and forward which may be an indicator that DoD is currently considering more sophisticated tech. My two cents.
I thought RDE is only being considered for missiles right now, since RDE has poor engine life, and at least missiles are single-use.
@@manofsan thats a possibility right but check this out. DoD wont shut up about RDE and the Air Force mentiones recently to the press that they are considering alternatives to the AETP. That leaves two main “viable” options:
1. PDE like that described by “witnesses” of the Aurora SP.
2. Well, RDE or some variation of it at least.
And by variation I mean to say a by product technology resulting from the research of the RDE
Funding for Ngad is likely much higher than the F22 and F35 given the political realities since 2014.
You mean that 2/3rds of the country is bankrupt?
just imagine getting your own little gang of robot planes alongside your own airplane, seems cool already
Sounds expensive
I'd say it's really close. From a close friend who is an F-16 pilot. He couldn't tell me much but he did say "There's some 'break glass in case of emergency' type aircraft we have that would blow your mind". So not fully ready but could be deployed if it HAD to be. He didn't detail anything other than that, so it could very well not be a 6th gen aircraft but the implication I got was that's what it was.
Alien tech 👽
The US's 'break glass in emergency' fighters are things like the Griffin, the Rafael, and the Eurofighter. Since those are the kinds of fighters that turn up if the US actually had a 'break glass'/Article 5 moment. :P

I like your final comment at the end of the video ! 🙂
We're getting closer and closer to flying triangles everyday aren't we.
time of the triangle, when is the time of spheres??? ;___;
I think that the key factor here is that US defense R&D crossed the threshold from deep learning to machine learning, and may have already developed true AI (albeit probably not yet to the level of GI). This enables them to test a nearly infinite number of variables, and go from theory to prototype very quickly. And this will not only give them a real advantage over everyone else right now, but its gains would be exponential. The race to utilize AI to develop weapons systems is where the future is being decided, and the US has the lead.
It’s vital to the world that the US remains the #1 military super power, its very existence deters aggression (unless of course you are a nuclear power, but that’s an entirely different can of worms and requires a different approach).
this comment is too intelligent for RUclips
Nice fanfic
@@maesterchris2120 if you think the US military isn't investing heavily in AI then you're really under-informed.

Great video. One of your best. If you could do one with more focus on the Navy's NGAD, that would be great. Thanks.
