After this night, it seemed as if all Western media had become sixth-generation aircraft researchers and were very familiar with them. One female anchor even said: They don’t look invisible~~~~~~
It is so funny that I see many stupid and ignorant comments by people whose countries can't even produce a 4th gen fighter...and in a matter of fact, their comments do no harm but show off their own stupidity...
You mean a sub 5th generation plane like the F35 that can't super cruise and low service ceiling of 16000m and short combat range of 900km....and can auto cruise on its own for hours without pilot.. only to be found in pieces a week later? 😂
@@laowantongchau of course the knuckledragger comment. Yeah, what you villagers tend to not understand is the F-35 wasn't ever meant to be a "super cruise" 6th gen fighter or anything like that. (The F-22 handles the air superiority/interceptor mission better than anything on the planet at the moment, and it's OLD) It was designed to be the most MASS PRODUCED, modular, do it all, hyper networked and SDN fighter/attack aircraft ever. Full stop. It's a jack of all, master of none. Nope, can't super cruise. Nope, can't beat an F-16. And yes, pilots make mistakes. I can show plenty of Russian and Chinese pilots doing worse. And plenty of American ones too. But nope, wasn't ever designed to do any of that. There is a CATOBAR, traditional and VTOL version sharing the same fly by wire and computing platform. It can fly in a low observable and external hard point max load depending on mission. It can network with dozens of external simultaneous data links - literally NOTHING Else can say that. Oh and it's already been MADE AND DEPLOYED in numbers far more than any other aircraft ever has been WITH one of the most advanced domestically produced turbines ever built by humans. I don't even like the F-35 and I can at least think critically about it. Grow up kiddo.
Our military sometimes during exercises in the SCS would send the Chinese a code name message for " JUNK." However, whenever budget time is around the corner, the Pentagon will convey a sense of urgency to the Congress.
US is 50 steps ahead though and they're not the one to underestimate an enemy, they already have something like this. Note that it took 35 design for F35 or 22 design for F22 to be approved. Chinese got theirs from reverse engineering and copying specs from other countries
@@DOI_ARTSUS got its blueprint of Stealth technology from Nazi Horten Ho 229 projects and used Nazi scientists to work on its Rocket technology. Everyone uses copies everyone in some way or another to advance their own
0 chance they produce anything that we couldn't 20 years ago. If they were so innovative, 99% of thier tech wouldn't be copied. 🇹🇼 is a country, 🇨🇳 on 3rd stage.
China has space station, does US has its own space station? The answer is apparently NO! You just slap yourself on your face. US produces nothing but junk!
This is the truth. The other pro-china stuff we keep seeing has been such a bore that keep highlighting how quickly they will "beat" the USA. Little do people know is that we have an NGAD in the air, we just havent seen it. Yeah, we are a mess right now with how we are dealing with procurement and now the Pentagon wanting to scrap the F-22, but people forget that China still cant get turbines right and is being powered by Russian smoke makers. Plus, they need 3 of them to get the thrust needed - what does that say? Sure this will change, but it speaks clearly to the environment we are dealing with.
it could be, but the us military doesn't get the same funding (relative to gdp) as it used to. and the costs of creating the modern version of the f15 in a speedy manner would be insurmountable in today's political climate
Not really. The US has already flown two 6th gen fighters, and the only reason we know about it is because the pentagon told everyone a year or so ago. Basically, this is China responding to a US threat, while the US is trying to maintain its edge.
@@matchesburnthe United States already knew China was building a 6th gen fighter also idk why people think this is equivalent to the Ussr and the us rivalry. China right now is better than the Ussr ever was
@darkisplays7670 that:s like 50m cheaper than a F-22 despite being a more modern fighter. They already have over 200 J-20 (which is more than F-22 were ever made) and the final number Will be at least x3. China has economies of scale being the largest industrialized nation, unlike USA which has been busy shooting down its factories and splitting fighter manufacturing across 15 states do every politician can take a chunk of the cost. The NGAD Fa-XX situation is getting close tothe Zumwalt class one.
@@Buran01the ngad is having program but the fa-xx is still on time and budget and they reported flew a prototype four yrs a ago I don't understand why people think we don't got an aircraft just because we don't reveal it to the public like china does. And the f22 was so expensive because they cut production because there was no real threat and we were to busy fighting in the middle east for no real reason but lie upon lie every American believes the Iraq war along with every other war was for nothing everybody in America isn't ignorant like some and the reason why America cut production is because they want to out source things to make things more cheaper.
The B-2 Ghost Strategic Bomber has a cruising speed of Mach 0.85, and the B-2 's speed of sound is not up to standard. How come the sixth-generation aircraft? As soon as the B2 snail takes off, it will soon see God
@@Buran01 I'll take a single F-35 for whatever China puts out. On top of that, good luck getting x3 the amount of fighters in the air at once to even try to overwhelm US fighters. The J-20 is more modern in time line only. China's WS-15 engine can't even duplicate the Russian engine it is based off of.
@@rodneyshima1375that's what you read over 20 years ago. Today we are in very different times. Also, did you ever consider that what you "read" might have been deliberately falsified so that potential adversaries would fear hidden developments? I believe that they are absolutely cutting edge, but not in the place of construction that they were 20 years ago. And that mysterious claims about what's in development are always planted.
You bring up some good points. Fielding a 6th generation fighter is a major investment. It's going to be interesting to see who will be able to produce enough of these aircraft to make a difference.
We wouldn't be in so much debt if the people that wanted to spend a trillion $ every year on the military were also willing to pay taxes. Our greed will end us.
90% of content of this video feels reasonable. Until it pop out, “China is at least 4-5 years behind USA in 6th Gen aircraft although we don’t have any 6th gen aircraft yet”. China’s 6th Gen are already flying in sky. Most Important Note: As a Chinese We all know a prototype aircraft is always painted Yellow in China, if it is painted grey , it’s already about to be in service. All current in service aircraft’s are painted Grey in PLAAF. All I see from this video , is an American who is losing apparently, but keep telling himself “we are the best! We never lose”. The American Century is OVER.
lol its a murican hoho propaganda site, what do you expect? He needs to end off with USA is still superior then he can collect his payment from the $1.8B CIA disinformation funding
Another East Taiwan bot. Its amazing, its almost like the CCP has dedicated governemt employees to find videos about US Military Superiority over East Taiwan and attempt to discredit them......oh wait....
_Keep your enemies guessing because you don't want them to know the truth you're already in shambles._ _Project a facade of strength when you're weak._
Americans aren’t guessing though, they are determined to underestimate and take that ludicrous presumption as a fact.😂 Copium is the most threatening drug ever created.
@@loadingnewads How is the US underestimating China? They're overestimating China, why do you think the US defense budget has skyrocketed? And thanks to China's aircraft demo, the US defense budget will skyrocket even more. The US always underestimates its enemies, it's part of our military doctrine. You are really clueless.
Finally, some people have said some reassuring words. The fact is that the sixth generation aircraft from the United States is still on the blueprint, while those from China have already taken off. And Musk and Trump said you are useless and need Indians to help you haha
The biggest threat is not even the aircrafts themselves, it is the wishful underestimation of your enemy capabilities. From EV, smartphone, to hypersonic missiles to this. How many wake up calls are needed to wake people up and put more serious effort to counter it. We need to not just put more money but more thoughts in how to do R&D faster and cost effectively.
China is a threat but not much of one and that's not underestimated. Most of their technology is full of issues because they didn't develop Most of it but stole it. Their evs are a good example they've had multiple issues with changing and catching on fire. All of their aircraft carriers use diesel engines and without friendly ports are stuck on how far they can travel. They're trying to sell the j35 and nobody wants to buy them even China is thinking about passing on them. But I do agree with you we should keep an eye on them and keep up r&d
@@viviadeng3791 You may indeed desire peace; however the leadership of your nation, by its own rhetoric and actions, do not. Before you accuse me of hypocrisy, I grudgingly admit mine is similar. I fear we are indeed headed to a collision of empires.
I've noticed this lately. Serious divination from the main topic that comes across as filler. Also making 2 or 3 videos out of one topic... for example Anduril's missiles. I think there was 2 videos about the Anduril Barracuda 500. The first was 36 minutes long and covered the whole program and I'm pretty sure the follow up video 2 months later called "America's RAPID DRAGON cargo bombers are getting a firepower boost" which I can't see any new information in it... while being 6 minutes long made the same points as the section on rapid dragon as the original. On that point - how many rapid dragon videos have there been?!?!
The “made in China” jokes are kind of funny coming from Americans considering Boeings current track record and how common it is to see US helicopters falling out of the sky.
yeah kinda reminds me of a joke I heard , "How many Chinamen does it take to get a homemade Submarine out of the port" ? answer ? I don't know either, it hasn't happened yet ?
Finally, some people have said some reassuring words. The fact is that the sixth generation aircraft from the United States is still on the blueprint, while those from China have already taken off. And Musk and Trump said you are useless and need Indians to help you haha
I recalled that interview with Cook where he had stated, in an analogy, " in China, they can fill several stadium of required talents while, in the US, they would have difficulties filling a room." And those people in the stadium work 2x harder, 1.5x longer.
It's just an oddly shaped, slow-flying aircraft that vaguely resembles the F-117 but lacks any demonstration of advanced capabilities, like extreme high-G flight maneuvers or cutting-edge technology seen in truly world-class military jets.
The bigger one has got to be a bomber. The escort jet with it js the J20 which is MASSIVE already and that other one (probably a bomber) is twice the size of the J20
@ActuallyJamie - Agreed, but its smallish size tends to point to something multirole rather than straight-up bomber. Which is, I admit, much like the way the B-21 is trending. While it's never a bad thing to have aircraft that can perform in multiple combat arenas, I'd rather see the NGAD and/or FA-XX programs come to fruition. As much as I love the Raptor, it's losing its technological edge over its potential adversaries.
@UnexpectedHistory Smaller one is more than likely either some sort of RC plane (just like before when that had this badass craft but it was a prop for an upcoming movie) something else they would do is make something fake, and then watch us scramble to try and push something else to be made but it be real and they gather info on us. That's literally how a big chunk of the "game" works. Psychological "warfare". But if it IS real, I would have to say it's either some sort of "loyal wingman" like a drone, OR its some sort of a fighter/interceptor. Still to soon to tell.
Now is totally different from that Mao’s dictatorship era, China became much more democratic and liberal. It is why China has been developing very successfully in every aspect. This new 6th gen aircraft is just only one of them.
Yup, but its hard to pull the wool over eyes globally these days..someone should teach the ccp this, these rubbish paper tigers make the ccp look like the fools they are. "Free the true Chinese people under the Taiwanese flag".
Seems to me that this is a stealthy Anti-AEW&C aircraft. It's designed to carry long range PL-17's close enough to put our aerial assets at risk. This could be seen as a counter to the MRC system we placed in the Philippines. MRC is aided significantly by early warning platforms within LOS.
Thanks for covering this as well as the awesome job you do covering military tech! While I agree that there is no reason to panic right now, these threats need to be seen from a long term perspective. I hope that these recent developments help push NGAD / F/A-XX as well as the stealth refuel / tanker programs through Congress.
Agreed, I'm worried the ccp autonomous drone keeps making an odd sound -chinese translation " let me out!! I need food and water", mpaper tigers to get more funds from the ccp..that is all.
We have SO MANY X-planes (mostly UCAVs) that look even more wild than that. These don’t scare me at all. NGAD will rewrite the textbook on aerial combat and fly circles around 5th gen planes
2:36 The background music was nicely timed so that the lyric “error” in the song lined up perfectly with when he said the word “arrows,” when questioning whether or not they could “represent some serious new arrows in China’s quiver” 😮
Not so much a fail so much as a ceasing of development. Kinda like how the US stopped messing with hypersonics decades ago because they were needlessly expensive at the time. There's nothing suggesting it was impossible or even too difficult.
Great summary Alex. You always have the best "arrows" when explaining developments in modern military aviation! Keep up the good work. All the best from the UK.
When I was born in China back in the 80s, it was as poor as some African countries I am just glad within such short time, it has become as advanced as it did. People can talk about spying all day but one that understands manufacturing know you can't just "copy" something as sophisticated as jets. It takes a lot of efforts from many engineers to create such things. Another thing to point out is that the Chengdu Aircraft has the number 36011 on it that means it is the 11th aircraft made. I hate to burst bubbles but these are not some early prototypes, that is not how Chinese do things. If they are showing you it means its already in production.
That's a load of crap, the most expensive and hardest part is research and development, they would be easily still 30 years behind in all these aerospace and telecom markets. The hard part was done, just acknowledge that. Same thing with western semi-conductor industry, they want to by-pass decades of research and market experience by taking over Taiwan all of which was done through US and Western investment. All of the leaders in that industry are from the Dutch, the US, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Same way they took over telecom, Northern Telecom was the biggest telecommunication company in the world, after they got hacked by a certain australian hacker, they started noticing knock off Nortel routers circulating in Chinese markets, they took advantage of the later mismanagement of Nortel after they lost their biggest customer WorldCom, but Nortel was still the biggest telecom in the world, after all the telephone was pretty much invented in north america, with canada being a big player and supplier for cables and networking. Just admit it, aside from hypersonic missile technology, everything else was already researched for them, its just a fact.
China in the 80s was poor but not as poor as what you said. I spent over a month traveling different places there in mid 80.... Yes, there were very poor places, but on average that wasn't so bad. 60s and 70s are a different story
If you're got actual knowledge of US media's past record, if NGAD does take flight there will make it the headline around the globe (i.e.F-22, F-35...etc). However, now us can only mobilize the propaganda machine like this on the Internet, which shows that murica got no real stuff.
I would like to know more about missile and drone defence systems. Which system is working most efficiently and which two (or more) systems would compliment each other the best way. I know you have some videos about those individual systems in your channel already, but I'm just curious about knowing more about them. Thank you for making these videos.
The 36 is likely a carrier killer. The J20 is definitely an interceptor to penetrate the lines and take out American AWACS and Tankers. The larger payload bay of the 36 would allow for carrying long range / larger warhead anti-ship missiles to extend the Area Denial range and push American carriers even farther out of range.
There are over 2500 F35s in the field and a handful just got done completely wrecking a modern anti-air system without any loses. Get back to me with china does that. As for these, we can only say china flew a few new looking airframes. Nothing more.
It's impossible to tell how much China has advanced. But I think it's pretty certain they have effectively surpassed Russia now - both technologically and ability to manufacture - and I expect we'll be seeing Chinese exports propagating where once countries used to buy Russian.
There must be a serious quality issue, as of now it seems countries that once bought Russian are more likely to make nice with America than buy Chinese.
Ability to manufacture for sure. Technological primacy is not a monolithic thing. China has stolen and reverse engineered nearly as many systems from Russia as the US. That being said, Russia still likely has the edge in certain areas like jet engine design, nuclear subs, some types of radars, ICBMs. There are huge question mark areas too. If China's tactical ballistic missile arsenal works as advertised they would be ahead of Russia but that is a big if. I would say in 5-8 years China will likely have eclipsed Russia in every significant area other than maybe ICBM tech which hasn't been a priority for China until recently. Russian policy calls for much more nuclear saber rattling than China.
For non-STEM people: Electromagnetic waves can be divided into two parts: the part visible to the naked eye and the part invisible to the naked eye. The part that is visible to the naked eye is generally referred to as "light", while radar uses the part that is invisible to the naked eye to detect objects. Stealth fighters have two strategies for avoiding radar detection: 1. by using special materials to absorb some of the electromagnetic waves, 2. by using special geometric surfaces to minimize the reflected electromagnetic waves.
The US Army just chose General Dynamics and Rheinmetall as finalists for the 4000 Bradley replacement IFVs (well, a year ago, and i will keep asking). Could you do a Firepower series video about this program, the two finalists and the other three that dropped out. Or more generally the current state of IFVs (Bradley, CV90, Puma, Lynx) and their most likely future. Maybe even including anti air IFVs like some CV90 variants and SkyRanger.
18:49 I cannot agree with you here. What you say is true for the US now, and not for China anymore. Now, China is known for technological advances and lightning-speed construction! Case and point below, 💥1) High-Speed Rail. California passed "Prop 1A" back in 2008, and 16 years have passed, where is the high-speed rail in CA? With the exact same 16-year period, China has built the world's longest high-speed rail system from 0 to 70,000 km, that's 2/3 of the world's total length. Yeah, we can dismiss that the Chinese stole the technology, but stealing it is one thing, building it and linking the entire nation is another thing! 💥2) Ultra-High-Voltage Electricity Transfer. Around the same period in 2009, China "invented" UHV transmission, and is applying it throughout China. Why this is important? People have been saying that ❤AI, ❤smart factory, and ❤industry 4.0 is the next industrial revolution (combine with bring manufacturing back to the US) ... etc. All the above needs electricity! and ALOT of electricity! 😖i) with the current "not in my backyard" mentality, can new powerplants be build near cities? ... nope ... 😖ii) with the current 2-party politics, do we really think that new powerplants can be build fast enough for these new technology? ... nope ... While China can build powerplants in the desert and ship them to their metro! 💥3) Electric Cars. Yes, Tesla was the first, and the only one for a long time! China on the other hand is catching up so fast that they are making 32% of the total cars made in the world. (from 3.5% back in year 2000) 💥4)Wind Tunnels. This is used to develop weapons, missiles, and jets. JF22 is currently the fastest wind tunnel in the world with top speed of mark 30 ... located in China. While the best one is in NASA with a top speed of mark 3.5 ... 💥5) Rare mineral banned by China. China just banned the export of rare minerals to the US. Yes, we have some stocks that can last for a few years. But what do we do after that?
@@bin.s.s. Boeing signed a commercial contract with NASA, not that the United States was unable to bring back two astronauts. This task is to let Boeing bring back astronauts back
Most of China big cities are located near east coast. So China want to push any potential threat(American military) 2000 miles away their east coast. This is the design purpose of these 6 generation aircrafts
China hasn’t figured out how to build powerful engines like the USA. This is why they need 3 engines to carry bigger payload on this new plane. China will need to start another copy campaign
What worries me most is how fast they have a 6th gen aircraft after making a 5th gen aircraft. It has been only 14 years after the first J-20 images. The pace of innovation in China is incredible. China might be on par or slightly behind with the US in the 6th generation, but maybe ahead in the 7th.
We still don't know what they have. 6th gen is not only about fuselage shape but also engine technology, electrical power available and types of weapon. Some say 6th gen designation should apply only if direct energy weapons are included, which are still not feasible in a compact package.
@almerindaromeira8352 There is no 6th gen aircraft yet so we don't know what the requirements of a 6th gen aircraft will be. The requirements are determined by the characteristics of the first next generation aircraft. So if the J-36 comes out and is broadly similar to NGAD it is a sixt generation aircraft. The Chinese are also working on variable cycle engines which will likely be incorporated into the J-36 although maybe later on. From what the likely head-engineer of the J-36 published they also want to focus on electrical power available, which is also why it has three engines. I do think lasers are overrated and will probably not be present on 6th generation aircraft. What will be important according to both Chinese and US for 6th generation aircraft are CCAs. So that will probably also be 6th gen requirement. To conclude, the J-36 partly determines what a 6th gen aircraft will be and it will likely have what we expect of a 6th gen aircraft.
@@nietkees6906 this generation thing is absurd. During the cold war no one was saying this is 2nd Gen and that is 3rd. Such classification can only occur retrospectively.
@@almerindaromeira8352 alleged spec of this aircraft 1) flight ceiling 30000 feet F22 or F35 can't reach it 2) speed mach 4 or more US missiles can't reach it Purpose : during first few hours of Taiwan unification this.plane give china a non first strike deterrent to US forces in guam.

@ Lockheed will no doubt be apart of the next aviation ‘breakthrough’ or generation and is the best in the game. I just feel the CCP isn’t being looked at with the right lense.
@ it wouldn’t shock me if they got access to the NGAD, FAXX, or Xplane program and made it a point to showcase a prototype first so America looks like we copied it. Their whole military is either a US or Russian clone
China leads the world in 37 out of 44 critical technologies and America only leads in 7, according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). America is done
The US has been putting too much resources into the FIRE economy for years, and not enough into STEM and actual industry and engineering. And just look at who they chose to lead the country for the next 4 years? Poster boy for RE.
unfortunately that report is based on numbers of paper published, as a result the report even puts China lead in space rocket, engine etc...which they clearly not lol
I am a Chinese.Not all Chinese support CCP!Not all Chinese are incapable of making objective evaluations. The third engine on the back cannot be a scramjet. The scramjet inlet of TBCC cannot be placed on the top like this. If it was placed on the top It requires an S-shaped air duct. When the scramjet reaches Mach 3 or above, it will produce serious supersonic entanglement, which does not meet the ramjet intake requirements. Moreover, Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has never tested the scramjet series technology. The J20 can't even cruise at supersonic speed for a long time without afterburner. So I personally think that the possibility of TBCC is not high. Instead, it seems to be a compromise choice made to achieve long-term supersonic cruise while taking into account the range of the fighter-bomber. There are several reasons why the third air inlet on the back is not a ramjet. First, the air inlet on the back is just behind the raised cockpit, which is a typical low-pressure area. Ramjet engines rely on high-speed airflow of more than Mach 2.5 to provide initial pressure for ignition. Low-pressure areas will lose a lot of energy, and a higher speed must be maintained to have enough initial pressure to ignite the ramjet. Second, such a high-position air inlet (higher than the cockpit) must use an S-shaped air duct to introduce air into the engine. This S-shaped air duct mechanism has huge energy loss and will produce serious kick flow, which is inconsistent with the huge energy and air pressure required for the start and operation of the ramjet.Third, the air intakes of ramjet engines designed all over the world are located under the belly of the aircraft or in the nose cone in front and are as straight as possible to avoid energy loss. All aircraft or drones with air intakes located on the top of the aircraft are subsonic aircraft or drones that take into account stealth requirements, such as B2/B21. Therefore, this top air intake design is inconsistent with the requirements of ramjet engines. If this top S-shaped air intake is really adopted, it is estimated that the starting speed of the ramjet engine needs to reach more than Mach 3. Can the two WS15 engines at the bottom accelerate such a large fighter-bomber to Mach 3? Obviously, it is impossible!
China industrially achieved in 40 years what Europe and the United States did in 150. Don't underestimate them. If they only made trinkets, the US would not be so nervous about them.
Stealing all the tech that said Europe and USA spent 150 years discovering. Still, now that they've caught up, the race can begin, and your point is valid.
You stupid guy, China is now at the industrial level of the United States in 1980. The B21 is a real 6th generation aircraft, and China's so-called 6th generation aircraft are just some models. The United States is not nervous, but just held a meeting to laugh at China.
It was the 150 years of capitalism that even gave China the opportunity to advance out of abject poverty. That country was largely a third world, rural dump and because of Western capitalism began the rise of industrialization and urbanization. It’s a really fucking tired narrative that there was some sort of Chinese miracle, when in fact, this was largely an American construct that fundamentally changed the quality of life for all of China.
Stupid comment! Typical stupid Chinese communist propaganda. By your logic, north Korea achieved in 15 years what Europe and the United States did in 150. Is that stupid enough?
The 6th Gen Air Superiority aircrafts are no longer a pure fighter jet but an advanced fighter bomber role. Dog fights are not an option for advance Stealth combat aircrafts nor it is worth the risk/cost. This one is more of a bomber than a fighter .
@@Xiguacaomei lol what makes you think the largest airforce, navy, and military in the entire world doesn't have everything and more that you're rambling about? lol
J20 would actually see and engage the F22 from beyond radar range with its EOTS. Oh and the F22's 20 something yearold radar would get eaten alive by the J20s EW suite.
there is no evidence the second aircraft is a drone. In fact, if you look carefully in many images from the right angles, you can see evidence of a cockpit.
@@SoloRenegade dude, china currently can seemlessly coordinate 10,000 drones from a single laptop for civilian use. I think china knows how to do datalinks.
The J-36 is a missle truck imo. Long range, big payload and low observability. Overwhelm the airspace with missles to keep US carrier air wings and strategic bombers away from the Chinese mainland and keep them far enough away from Taiwan for its conventional fighters and bombers ability to cross from mainland China to Taiwan.
Just a heads up, the image at 16:25 is from a aircraft builder simulator called Flyout, the original has the beta version early access on the top right corner. I would link it here but RUclips doesn't like links and would just remove my comment.

@@subasthapa4839 I can’t recall them myself, but accept the point. My comment was more in jest. I’m a Brit so realise my country is miles behind now unfortunately and my days of pride at military advancement are over for good. I didn’t mean to denigrate China at all. My serious thought was it was maybe not the engine aimed at the final product and later model J-20s/and 35s. Engines seems to be an area China is still working hard on. I do believe China have made massive progress in recent years. I’d be interested to hear some non national bias thoughts on where China is in regards to the US as most of my sources are very pro western. My current thinking is US still has a lead on engines, SSNs and probably institutional expertise. Several areas like cost effective UAS China seems to be pulling ahead though?
@@icolky5272 Of course USA is ahead in the engine department because it has more experience than China and the companies like P&W, GE have been doing this way before than the Chinese, NOBODY is denying this fact. Yes and China is rapidly closing this gap too. But my point is, the smokey engines as of now are only there for temporary period, these aren't intended engines for the aircraft. They will use variable cycles engines in later years when this program matures and goes for mass production. Similar black smokes (may differ in quantity) can also be seen in the already matured f22 engines as well as f35 may be due to incomplete combustion or during the transition from dry to wet. FYI, the earlier version of j20 used to smoke quite a bit as well but after later years the smokey smog is not such evident. WS 10C and WS 15 are the game changer in PLA aircrafts.

It’s not easy being primarily interested in technology rather than national bias when talking about such a competitive field where information on all sides can’t be publicly available at the level I’d love. Are there any English language sources you can recommend where I can find out more without too much of the usual national competition over riding informed commentary? I’m constantly frustrated with UK sources talking about pretending traditional peer threat defence should be the focus. IMO our internal divisions, economic and societal chaos make it obvious our main concern should be unconditional threats. Europe is wide open to A state backed threat of this type through criminal and angry sections of our broken nations.

As a Chinese, knowing how the CCP Millitary works. I mean, when was the last time you see a CCP Millitary PPT? They have a saying, 'Serving the current Gen, Testing the next Gen and Researching on the Next Next Gen'. IF the J20 , currently the most advanced Gen 5 Jet, is being displayed on the ground of the Zhu Hai Aero Exhibit. We already the next Gen jet prototype is good to roll.
You clearly dont know the CCP Military... What they are known for historically is showing off, much like the russians, fake tech that they never actually have the ability to achieve. Yes it flies, that means zero tactically. By your logic the next Gen looks good on paper, not hanger ready.
Been waiting for this video! It really comes down to avionics, flight control systems, integrations etc. The outer design of the plane means relatively little compared to what's underneath the skin. Wont know how advanced these planes really are until we get some more information about that.

@@MichaelJordan-t1j Which countries and comments are these? This sounds like some Wumao nonsense.
@@laowantongchau of course the knuckledragger comment. Yeah, what you villagers tend to not understand is the F-35 wasn't ever meant to be a "super cruise" 6th gen fighter or anything like that. (The F-22 handles the air superiority/interceptor mission better than anything on the planet at the moment, and it's OLD)
It was designed to be the most MASS PRODUCED, modular, do it all, hyper networked and SDN fighter/attack aircraft ever. Full stop. It's a jack of all, master of none.
Nope, can't super cruise. Nope, can't beat an F-16. And yes, pilots make mistakes. I can show plenty of Russian and Chinese pilots doing worse. And plenty of American ones too. But nope, wasn't ever designed to do any of that.
There is a CATOBAR, traditional and VTOL version sharing the same fly by wire and computing platform. It can fly in a low observable and external hard point max load depending on mission. It can network with dozens of external simultaneous data links - literally NOTHING Else can say that. Oh and it's already been MADE AND DEPLOYED in numbers far more than any other aircraft ever has been WITH one of the most advanced domestically produced turbines ever built by humans.

This might be a MiG25 moment in the pentagon. Can't wait to see what the 6th gen equivalent of the F15 will be able to do.
it could be, but the us military doesn't get the same funding (relative to gdp) as it used to. and the costs of creating the modern version of the f15 in a speedy manner would be insurmountable in today's political climate
I love how our adversaries actually unironically put themselves in more danger by doing basically photo op moments.
Not really. The US has already flown two 6th gen fighters, and the only reason we know about it is because the pentagon told everyone a year or so ago.
Basically, this is China responding to a US threat, while the US is trying to maintain its edge.
@@matchesburnthe United States already knew China was building a 6th gen fighter also idk why people think this is equivalent to the Ussr and the us rivalry. China right now is better than the Ussr ever was

The only thing I'm sure is that the 6th gen of Chinese fighters won't cost 300m $ each one...
J20s cost each is 120million dollar then how you already know that?🤡 thats too much underestimate
@darkisplays7670 that:s like 50m cheaper than a F-22 despite being a more modern fighter. They already have over 200 J-20 (which is more than F-22 were ever made) and the final number Will be at least x3. China has economies of scale being the largest industrialized nation, unlike USA which has been busy shooting down its factories and splitting fighter manufacturing across 15 states do every politician can take a chunk of the cost. The NGAD Fa-XX situation is getting close tothe Zumwalt class one.
@@Buran01the ngad is having program but the fa-xx is still on time and budget and they reported flew a prototype four yrs a ago I don't understand why people think we don't got an aircraft just because we don't reveal it to the public like china does. And the f22 was so expensive because they cut production because there was no real threat and we were to busy fighting in the middle east for no real reason but lie upon lie every American believes the Iraq war along with every other war was for nothing everybody in America isn't ignorant like some and the reason why America cut production is because they want to out source things to make things more cheaper.
The B-2 Ghost Strategic Bomber has a cruising speed of Mach 0.85, and the B-2 's speed of sound is not up to standard. How come the sixth-generation aircraft? As soon as the B2 snail takes off, it will soon see God

China is a threat but not much of one and that's not underestimated. Most of their technology is full of issues because they didn't develop Most of it but stole it. Their evs are a good example they've had multiple issues with changing and catching on fire. All of their aircraft carriers use diesel engines and without friendly ports are stuck on how far they can travel. They're trying to sell the j35 and nobody wants to buy them even China is thinking about passing on them. But I do agree with you we should keep an eye on them and keep up r&d

It's just an oddly shaped, slow-flying aircraft that vaguely resembles the F-117 but lacks any demonstration of advanced capabilities, like extreme high-G flight maneuvers or cutting-edge technology seen in truly world-class military jets.
Another Sputnik moment for the US, the first one was that FOBS, then moon samples from the far side.
The larger one looks more like an attack aircraft/light bomber than a fighter. The smaller one reminds me more of an interceptor.
The bigger one has got to be a bomber. The escort jet with it js the J20 which is MASSIVE already and that other one (probably a bomber) is twice the size of the J20
@ActuallyJamie - Agreed, but its smallish size tends to point to something multirole rather than straight-up bomber. Which is, I admit, much like the way the B-21 is trending. While it's never a bad thing to have aircraft that can perform in multiple combat arenas, I'd rather see the NGAD and/or FA-XX programs come to fruition. As much as I love the Raptor, it's losing its technological edge over its potential adversaries.
@UnexpectedHistory Smaller one is more than likely either some sort of RC plane (just like before when that had this badass craft but it was a prop for an upcoming movie) something else they would do is make something fake, and then watch us scramble to try and push something else to be made but it be real and they gather info on us. That's literally how a big chunk of the "game" works. Psychological "warfare". But if it IS real, I would have to say it's either some sort of "loyal wingman" like a drone, OR its some sort of a fighter/interceptor. Still to soon to tell.
@ActuallyJamie - It's more than likely an AI wingman and/or drone of some kind, but it really gives me interceptor vibes either way.
Now is totally different from that Mao’s dictatorship era, China became much more democratic and liberal. It is why China has been developing very successfully in every aspect. This new 6th gen aircraft is just only one of them.

When I was born in China back in the 80s, it was as poor as some African countries I am just glad within such short time, it has become as advanced as it did. People can talk about spying all day but one that understands manufacturing know you can't just "copy" something as sophisticated as jets. It takes a lot of efforts from many engineers to create such things. Another thing to point out is that the Chengdu Aircraft has the number 36011 on it that means it is the 11th aircraft made. I hate to burst bubbles but these are not some early prototypes, that is not how Chinese do things. If they are showing you it means its already in production.

That's a load of crap, the most expensive and hardest part is research and development, they would be easily still 30 years behind in all these aerospace and telecom markets. The hard part was done, just acknowledge that. Same thing with western semi-conductor industry, they want to by-pass decades of research and market experience by taking over Taiwan all of which was done through US and Western investment. All of the leaders in that industry are from the Dutch, the US, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. Same way they took over telecom, Northern Telecom was the biggest telecommunication company in the world, after they got hacked by a certain australian hacker, they started noticing knock off Nortel routers circulating in Chinese markets, they took advantage of the later mismanagement of Nortel after they lost their biggest customer WorldCom, but Nortel was still the biggest telecom in the world, after all the telephone was pretty much invented in north america, with canada being a big player and supplier for cables and networking. Just admit it, aside from hypersonic missile technology, everything else was already researched for them, its just a fact.

The 36 is likely a carrier killer. The J20 is definitely an interceptor to penetrate the lines and take out American AWACS and Tankers.

It's impossible to tell how much China has advanced. But I think it's pretty certain they have effectively surpassed Russia now - both technologically and ability to manufacture - and I expect we'll be seeing Chinese exports propagating where once countries used to buy Russian.
China is already eating up Russia's arm's export for years.
There must be a serious quality issue, as of now it seems countries that once bought Russian are more likely to make nice with America than buy Chinese.
Ability to manufacture for sure. Technological primacy is not a monolithic thing. China has stolen and reverse engineered nearly as many systems from Russia as the US. That being said, Russia still likely has the edge in certain areas like jet engine design, nuclear subs, some types of radars, ICBMs. There are huge question mark areas too. If China's tactical ballistic missile arsenal works as advertised they would be ahead of Russia but that is a big if. I would say in 5-8 years China will likely have eclipsed Russia in every significant area other than maybe ICBM tech which hasn't been a priority for China until recently. Russian policy calls for much more nuclear saber rattling than China.
For non-STEM people: Electromagnetic waves can be divided into two parts: the part visible to the naked eye and the part invisible to the naked eye. The part that is visible to the naked eye is generally referred to as "light", while radar uses the part that is invisible to the naked eye to detect objects. Stealth fighters have two strategies for avoiding radar detection: 1. by using special materials to absorb some of the electromagnetic waves, 2. by using special geometric surfaces to minimize the reflected electromagnetic waves.

The US Army just chose General Dynamics and Rheinmetall as finalists for the 4000 Bradley replacement IFVs (well, a year ago, and i will keep asking).
Could you do a Firepower series video about this program, the two finalists and the other three that dropped out. Or more generally the current state of IFVs (Bradley, CV90, Puma, Lynx) and their most likely future. Maybe even including anti air IFVs like some CV90 variants and SkyRanger.
Instead of posting this 700 times why not make the video yourself?
Meanwhile American NGAD still in PPT format 😂😂😂😂
18:49 I cannot agree with you here. What you say is true for the US now, and not for China anymore.
Now, China is known for technological advances and lightning-speed construction! Case and point below,
💥1) High-Speed Rail.
California passed "Prop 1A" back in 2008, and 16 years have passed, where is the high-speed rail in CA?
With the exact same 16-year period, China has built the world's longest high-speed rail system from 0 to 70,000 km, that's 2/3 of the world's total length.
Yeah, we can dismiss that the Chinese stole the technology, but stealing it is one thing, building it and linking the entire nation is another thing!
💥2) Ultra-High-Voltage Electricity Transfer.
Around the same period in 2009, China "invented" UHV transmission, and is applying it throughout China. Why this is important?
People have been saying that ❤AI, ❤smart factory, and ❤industry 4.0 is the next industrial revolution (combine with bring manufacturing back to the US) ... etc. All the above needs electricity! and ALOT of electricity!
😖i) with the current "not in my backyard" mentality, can new powerplants be build near cities? ... nope ...
😖ii) with the current 2-party politics, do we really think that new powerplants can be build fast enough for these new technology? ... nope ...
While China can build powerplants in the desert and ship them to their metro!
💥3) Electric Cars.
Yes, Tesla was the first, and the only one for a long time! China on the other hand is catching up so fast that they are making 32% of the total cars made in the world. (from 3.5% back in year 2000)
💥4)Wind Tunnels. This is used to develop weapons, missiles, and jets.
JF22 is currently the fastest wind tunnel in the world with top speed of mark 30 ... located in China.
While the best one is in NASA with a top speed of mark 3.5 ...
💥5) Rare mineral banned by China.
China just banned the export of rare minerals to the US. Yes, we have some stocks that can last for a few years. But what do we do after that?
Not to mention, China built a space station all by themselves, while NASA is having trouble bringing 2 astronauts back ...
@@tamatb It’s not that the United States doesn’t have the ability to bring back 2 astronauts, it’s just that Boeing sucks.

Most of China big cities are located near east coast. So China want to push any potential threat(American military) 2000 miles away their east coast. This is the design purpose of these 6 generation aircrafts
China hasn’t figured out how to build powerful engines like the USA. This is why they need 3 engines to carry bigger payload on this new plane. China will need to start another copy campaign
However, the big manufacturing cities are away from the coast
@@tforaodgWrong most manufacturing cities are on the east coast.

*If you bought your NGAD from Temu*
What worries me most is how fast they have a 6th gen aircraft after making a 5th gen aircraft. It has been only 14 years after the first J-20 images. The pace of innovation in China is incredible. China might be on par or slightly behind with the US in the 6th generation, but maybe ahead in the 7th.
We still don't know what they have. 6th gen is not only about fuselage shape but also engine technology, electrical power available and types of weapon. Some say 6th gen designation should apply only if direct energy weapons are included, which are still not feasible in a compact package.
@almerindaromeira8352 There is no 6th gen aircraft yet so we don't know what the requirements of a 6th gen aircraft will be. The requirements are determined by the characteristics of the first next generation aircraft. So if the J-36 comes out and is broadly similar to NGAD it is a sixt generation aircraft.
The Chinese are also working on variable cycle engines which will likely be incorporated into the J-36 although maybe later on. From what the likely head-engineer of the J-36 published they also want to focus on electrical power available, which is also why it has three engines. I do think lasers are overrated and will probably not be present on 6th generation aircraft. What will be important according to both Chinese and US for 6th generation aircraft are CCAs. So that will probably also be 6th gen requirement.
To conclude, the J-36 partly determines what a 6th gen aircraft will be and it will likely have what we expect of a 6th gen aircraft.
@@nietkees6906 this generation thing is absurd. During the cold war no one was saying this is 2nd Gen and that is 3rd. Such classification can only occur retrospectively.
@@almerindaromeira8352 That is what I am saying we only know what a 6th generation aircraft when they enter service.
@@almerindaromeira8352 alleged spec of this aircraft
1) flight ceiling 30000 feet F22 or F35 can't reach it
2) speed mach 4 or more US missiles can't reach it
Purpose : during first few hours of Taiwan unification this.plane give china a non first strike deterrent to US forces in guam.
It gives china that time window to confirm US intentions
If US finally decides to aid Taiwan...a couple of these stealth jets will release its payload 2000km out from guam to strike ground and naval targets

Tbf they do make some banger planes. They make both our bleeding edge aircraft so it's hard not to talk about them.
@ Lockheed will no doubt be apart of the next aviation ‘breakthrough’ or generation and is the best in the game. I just feel the CCP isn’t being looked at with the right lense.
Maybe it is.
I seen a comment the other day where someone said this exact design was in a Northrop ad in a superbowl ad years ago.
@ it wouldn’t shock me if they got access to the NGAD, FAXX, or Xplane program and made it a point to showcase a prototype first so America looks like we copied it. Their whole military is either a US or Russian clone

Yea I don't think Australia's opinion matters to us😂😂😂 besides ain't Australia buying nuclear subs off us? Don't look to "done" to me
I am a Chinese.Not all Chinese support CCP!Not all Chinese are incapable of making objective evaluations. The third engine on the back cannot be a scramjet. The scramjet inlet of TBCC cannot be placed on the top like this. If it was placed on the top It requires an S-shaped air duct. When the scramjet reaches Mach 3 or above, it will produce serious supersonic entanglement, which does not meet the ramjet intake requirements. Moreover, Chengdu Aircraft Corporation has never tested the scramjet series technology. The J20 can't even cruise at supersonic speed for a long time without afterburner. So I personally think that the possibility of TBCC is not high. Instead, it seems to be a compromise choice made to achieve long-term supersonic cruise while taking into account the range of the fighter-bomber. There are several reasons why the third air inlet on the back is not a ramjet. First, the air inlet on the back is just behind the raised cockpit, which is a typical low-pressure area. Ramjet engines rely on high-speed airflow of more than Mach 2.5 to provide initial pressure for ignition. Low-pressure areas will lose a lot of energy, and a higher speed must be maintained to have enough initial pressure to ignite the ramjet. Second, such a high-position air inlet (higher than the cockpit) must use an S-shaped air duct to introduce air into the engine. This S-shaped air duct mechanism has huge energy loss and will produce serious kick flow, which is inconsistent with the huge energy and air pressure required for the start and operation of the ramjet.Third, the air intakes of ramjet engines designed all over the world are located under the belly of the aircraft or in the nose cone in front and are as straight as possible to avoid energy loss. All aircraft or drones with air intakes located on the top of the aircraft are subsonic aircraft or drones that take into account stealth requirements, such as B2/B21. Therefore, this top air intake design is inconsistent with the requirements of ramjet engines. If this top S-shaped air intake is really adopted, it is estimated that the starting speed of the ramjet engine needs to reach more than Mach 3. Can the two WS15 engines at the bottom accelerate such a large fighter-bomber to Mach 3? Obviously, it is impossible!

China industrially achieved in 40 years what Europe and the United States did in 150. Don't underestimate them. If they only made trinkets, the US would not be so nervous about them.
Stealing all the tech that said Europe and USA spent 150 years discovering.
Still, now that they've caught up, the race can begin, and your point is valid.
You stupid guy, China is now at the industrial level of the United States in 1980. The B21 is a real 6th generation aircraft, and China's so-called 6th generation aircraft are just some models. The United States is not nervous, but just held a meeting to laugh at China.
It was the 150 years of capitalism that even gave China the opportunity to advance out of abject poverty. That country was largely a third world, rural dump and because of Western capitalism began the rise of industrialization and urbanization.
It’s a really fucking tired narrative that there was some sort of Chinese miracle, when in fact, this was largely an American construct that fundamentally changed the quality of life for all of China.
Stupid comment! Typical stupid Chinese communist propaganda. By your logic, north Korea achieved in 15 years what Europe and the United States did in 150. Is that stupid enough?
That's only because they steal & western countries don't carry themselves with the authority to properly identify and expel spies anymore.
Great video!!!
The 6th Gen Air Superiority aircrafts are no longer a pure fighter jet but an advanced fighter bomber role. Dog fights are not an option for advance Stealth combat aircrafts nor it is worth the risk/cost. This one is more of a bomber than a fighter .
That it isn't good in dog fights doesn’t mean it isn't a fighter. It likely is just a BVR fighter.

You're amazing, Alex. Your research and narration are unmatched.

The J-36 is a missle truck imo. Long range, big payload and low observability. Overwhelm the airspace with missles to keep US carrier air wings and strategic bombers away from the Chinese mainland and keep them far enough away from Taiwan for its conventional fighters and bombers ability to cross from mainland China to Taiwan.
bingo. every weapons platform has a specific role to fill in a defense strategy and is never operating alone.

@@subasthapa4839 I can’t recall them myself, but accept the point. My comment was more in jest. I’m a Brit so realise my country is miles behind now unfortunately and my days of pride at military advancement are over for good. I didn’t mean to denigrate China at all. My serious thought was it was maybe not the engine aimed at the final product and later model J-20s/and 35s. Engines seems to be an area China is still working hard on.
I do believe China have made massive progress in recent years. I’d be interested to hear some non national bias thoughts on where China is in regards to the US as most of my sources are very pro western.
My current thinking is US still has a lead on engines, SSNs and probably institutional expertise. Several areas like cost effective UAS China seems to be pulling ahead though?
@@icolky5272 Of course USA is ahead in the engine department because it has more experience than China and the companies like P&W, GE have been doing this way before than the Chinese, NOBODY is denying this fact.
Yes and China is rapidly closing this gap too.
But my point is, the smokey engines as of now are only there for temporary period, these aren't intended engines for the aircraft. They will use variable cycles engines in later years when this program matures and goes for mass production.
Similar black smokes (may differ in quantity) can also be seen in the already matured f22 engines as well as f35 may be due to incomplete combustion or during the transition from dry to wet.
FYI, the earlier version of j20 used to smoke quite a bit as well but after later years the smokey smog is not such evident.
WS 10C and WS 15 are the game changer in PLA aircrafts.
@@subasthapa4839 Thank you. That makes sense. I probably didn’t make the best start with the joke. I do appreciate being able to gather knowledge and opinions from both sides as IMO it gives interested amateurs such as myself the best chance to be able to get an idea of where things really stand. It’s not easy being primarily interested in technology rather than national bias when talking about such a competitive field where information on all sides can’t be publicly available at the level I’d love.
Are there any English language sources you can recommend where I can find out more without too much of the usual national competition over riding informed commentary?
I’m constantly frustrated with UK sources talking about pretending traditional peer threat defence should be the focus. IMO our internal divisions, economic and societal chaos make it obvious our main concern should be unconditional threats. Europe is wide open to A state backed threat of this type through criminal and angry sections of our broken nations.
