Türkiye’s defense chief says the KAAN fifth-generation fighter has reached another major milestone, with multiple prototypes now advancing in parallel as development, testing and production accelerate. Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün called the hangar rollout of the static test aircraft and the second flying prototype “a very valuable step” in the National Combat Aircraft program. The first prototype flew in 2024; development and production are now running simultaneously. KAAN will feature low observability, internal weapons bays, advanced avionics, sensor fusion, electronic warfare and multi-role capability, placing it among “the selected class of combat aircraft in the world that can be counted on one hand.” A domestic engine and phased capability upgrades are underway. Human–unmanned combat integration is also being developed in parallel. Serial production preparations are progressing at full speed.

The Chinese J-35 The Chinese are making significant progress in producing the J-35 in both its land-based and carrier-based variants. (J-35 and J-35A). It is currently powered by the WS-21 engine, but this is expected to be upgraded soon to the more advanced WS-19. Although it is a fifth-generation fighter and regarded as one of China's primary strategic assets, there are ongoing discussions about Pakistan also becoming an operator of the aircraft.

BREAKING QUESTION FOR AMERICA… Have we already seen the SR-72 “Darkstar” in combat… and didn’t even know it? Think about the timing. Hypersonic weapons are now being used. Air defenses are being overwhelmed. Targets are being struck with speed and precision that looks almost unreal. And yet the most advanced reconnaissance/strike aircraft ever designed… the SR-72 Darkstar… is supposedly still “in development.” Officially. Here is what we actually know as of March 2026. Lockheed Martin’s SR-72 program is still publicly listed as being in the design and development phase. There have been rumors of a demonstrator flight somewhere between 2025 and 2026… but nothing has been confirmed, nothing has been revealed, and no official aircraft has ever been shown. Which raises the obvious question. What if it already exists? Remember the SR-71 Blackbird. It flew secret missions for years before the public ever knew it existed. Mach 3. Titanium airframe. Untouchable by enemy defenses for decades. Now imagine the next generation. Hypersonic. Mach 6 capability. Autonomous strike capability. Global reach in under an hour. Would the United States announce that to the world… or would it quietly fly it in combat first? Right now videos are circulating online claiming secret aircraft sightings. Most of them are nonsense. Top Gun Maverick mock-ups. Video game footage. AI generated clips LIKE THIS ONE. But the real question remains. If the SR-72 Darkstar has already flown… would we even know? #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

The Chinese are advancing on 6th-generation fighters, but I have serious doubts about whether this is truly the right path. Recently, the Turkish company Baykar flew two combat drones that operate in perfect synchronization, guided from a ground base. They executed coordinated maneuvers autonomously and are already capable of conducting BVR (Beyond Visual Range) engagements. The Kızılelma became the first drone to achieve an autonomous kill with an air-to-air missile guided by its own AESA radar. This level of Turkish progress, combined with the kill web integration that Chinese drones are demonstrating, isn’t it a strong indication that manned 6th-generation fighters might be an extraordinarily expensive fantasy? I’ll go further: some drones are already reaching speeds above Mach 3.5 - more than double those of the leading current manned fighters. I’m talking about drones capable of high-speed coordinated operations, fully autonomous, with integrated and shared weapon systems, flying at altitudes far higher than conventional fighters, and employing systems similar to Aegis. How much longer until these drones take off in large swarms, equipped with ultra-modern sensors controlled by AI and armed with long-range air-to-air missiles? How could a human pilot, even at the height of adrenaline, make faster and more accurate decisions, involving multiple scenarios and factors, than an AI commanding a pack of smaller, more agile drones operating at different altitudes? We are entering the real competition between man and machine. Even if a pilot in a 6th-generation fighter has control over slave drones and an entire Aegis-like kill web, what is the point of having him there if everything can be done autonomously, more safely, more cheaply, and in far greater numbers? Some argue that the human pilot offers advantages in unpredictable scenarios where today’s AI still fails, and I agree. But I’m not talking about current AI: I’m talking about the AI of 2030–2040, far more advanced than anything we know today. Geran drones equipped with air-to-air missiles prove that air combat drones can be extremely low-cost, while the Turkish tests show, in a far more sophisticated way, that drones designed for air-to-air missions are evolving much faster than 6th-generation aircraft, whose development and production costs are exorbitant. When we put together the Geran, the Kızılelma, and the drone kill web integration the Chinese are achieving, the question arises: is the future really manned 6th-generation fighters, or much cheaper drones produced in greater numbers, better protected, and more capable? Wouldn’t it be smarter to invest in well-equipped autonomous 6th-generation drones rather than treating them merely as wingmen? It seems that keeping a human pilot on board has more to do with ethical principles and preserving our role than with genuine operational necessity. And how would humanity react to the constant killing of human beings by AI-guided drones? Drones will be cheaper to develop, easier to produce, and possibly more agile than conventional fighters, even 6th-generation ones. In cost-benefit terms, the price of a single 6th-generation fighter could buy dozens of equivalent or even superior drones. This would save hundreds of billions of dollars and could put whoever adopts the strategy a step ahead. The Chinese, by the way, are very well positioned in this race, with HALE drones already armed with air-to-air missiles and integrated into an extensive kill web, which I will describe in detail soon.

First Drone vs. Manned Fighter Combat? On December 8, 2025, the Ukrainian Air Force confirmed the loss of a Su-27 fighter jet piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Yevhenii Ivanov, who was killed during a combat mission in the eastern direction. Yesterday, December 17, one Mi-24 was downed in same circumstances. Russian sources allege the aircraft was shot down, but Ukrainian statements describe the circumstances as under investigation, with no official confirmation of the cause. There are unverified Russian claims linking it to a modified Geran-2 drone equipped with an R-60 missile. Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed the existence of Geran-2 variants armed with R-60 air-to-air missiles, designed primarily to counter aircraft or helicopters approaching to intercept drone swarms. If independently verified, such an engagement could represent a significant milestone in drone-vs-manned aircraft combat. This development aligns with broader trends i mentioned in my previous article on Chinese high-altitude drones conducting air-to-air target acquisition from positions well above potential threats. Elon Musk has indeed argued that the future of warfare lies with unmanned aircraft, stating that manned fighter jets are becoming obsolete in the drone era and predicting a shift toward autonomous or remotely controlled systems. But i believe that it’s something to the next two decades. Sixth-generation aircraft concepts often emphasize manned platforms controlling swarms of drones (loyal wingmen), but the question pushes further: How will manned fighters compete against high-altitude unmanned systems operating 10–15 km above their service ceiling and potentially launching air-air hypersonic missiles? In January I will post an article on China's development of layered high-altitude drone systems for ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance), one optimized for aerial threats and another for naval targets. Recent Chinese programs, like high-altitude stealth drones, recharge stations and mothership concepts capable of deploying swarms, suggest active progress in this direction.

‼️🇨🇳 China has started construction of its fourth Type 004 aircraft carrier, which will become the first nuclear-powered surface combatant of the PRC. According to reports, the new aircraft carrier with a displacement of 110-120 thousand tons is being built at a shipyard in Dalian and is designed as a direct competitor to the American Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers. Unlike previous Chinese ships, the Type 004 will combine a nuclear power plant (based on Longwei reactors) with electromagnetic catapults and a full-size deck, providing virtually unlimited sailing range. The Type 004 is expected to carry an air group of more than 90 aircraft, including 24-30 J-15T fighters and more than 20 fifth-generation J-35 aircraft, as well as KJ-600 AWACS planes and unmanned aerial vehicles. Thus, all this significantly exceeds the capabilities of previous Chinese aircraft carriers (Liaoning, Shandong, Fujian), which are limited either by the absence of catapults or equipped with conventional power plants. The PLA Navy also plans that the Type 004, accompanied by the latest Type 055A/B destroyers and Type 095 submarines, will be able to project power far beyond China's coastal waters, creating a threat to the strategic superiority of the United States on the world’s oceans.

#WATCH | Delhi: On Elon Musk's tweet that "Drones are the future of warfare, Manned aircraft are not," Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh says, "At the moment, there are three or four major programs which are going on in the world, which they are calling the Sixth Gen Aircraft Program, NGAD, other different names. Now, all of them are manned. The importance of man, as of now, as I can see in the foreseeable future, is not going to fade away...There will be unmanned systems. But those unmanned systems have to work in collaboration with the manned system or have to be controlled by a man. So the relevance of fighters will remain in the years to come. Elon Musk is a businessman. He will talk about it like that because he himself is running a business. His cars, now you see how many of them are there on the road.

The U.S. unveils it's new F-47 stealth fighter, the centerpiece of the NGAD program, a "family of systems" designed to integrate advanced manned and unmanned platforms, including Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) drones. Announced by President Donald Trump alongside Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin, the F-47 is described as the "most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built." It reportedly builds on a prototype that has been secretly flying for nearly five years, suggesting significant testing and refinement prior to its public unveiling. The aircraft is engineered for speed, stealth, and adaptability, with a focus on countering advanced threats from nations like China, which has also been developing sixth-generation capabilities. Boeing’s victory over Lockheed Martin for the NGAD contract, valued at approximately $20 billion for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, marks a critical win for the company amid its recent struggles in defense and commercial sectors. The F-47 is expected to enter service in the 2030s, with each unit potentially costing upwards of $300 million, reflecting its cutting-edge technology. Its development emphasizes rapid adaptability to emerging threats, leveraging advanced manufacturing and an open architecture design to allow for continual upgrades. Since exact specifications remain classified or undisclosed as of now, the following are informed projections based on NGAD program objectives, statements from officials, and sixth-generation fighter trends. Designation: Boeing F-47 Manufacturer: Boeing Phantom Works Role: Air dominance fighter with multi-role capabilities (air-to-air and air-to-ground) Crew: Likely manned with optional unmanned configuration, aligning with sixth-generation flexibility Dimensions: Larger than the F-22 and F-35 to accommodate greater range and payload; exact size undisclosed but possibly exceeding 60 feet in length and a wingspan over 40 feet Powerplant: Expected to use adaptive cycle engines from the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program—either General Electric XA102 or Pratt & Whitney XA103. These engines feature a three-stream architecture, offering over 20% better fuel efficiency, increased thrust (potentially 45,000-50,000 lbf per engine), and enhanced electrical output for directed-energy weapons. Speed: Likely exceeds Mach 2 (super cruise capable—sustained supersonic flight without afterburners), surpassing the F-22’s Mach 1.8 super cruise Range: Combat radius projected at 1,000-1,500 nautical miles (unrefueled), tailored for Indo-Pacific operations, significantly greater than the F-22’s 600 nautical miles or F-35’s 670 nautical miles Stealth: Advanced stealth features, including a tailless design, next-generation coatings, and materials to reduce radar, infrared, and acoustic signatures beyond fifth-generation standards Payload: Larger internal weapons bays (possibly 20-23 feet long) to carry advanced munitions like the AIM-174, hypersonic missiles, and future cruise missiles, with external hardpoints available at the cost of stealth Sensors and Avionics: AI-enhanced sensor suite for unmatched situational awareness, integrating radar, infrared search and track (IRST), and electronic warfare systems; likely includes "smart skins" with embedded sensors for reduced drag and improved performance Networking: Maximum connectivity for real-time data sharing with satellites, drones, and other platforms, supported by a robust, jam-resistant data link Additional Features: Potential for directed-energy (laser) weapons to counter missiles and drones Integration with CCA drones for expanded mission options (e.g., extra munitions, electronic warfare) Open architecture for rapid upgrades and mission-specific customization Key Highlights Human-Machine Teaming: The F-47 is designed to "unlock the magic" of human-machine collaboration, pairing pilots with AI-driven systems and autonomous drones to enhance decision-making and reduce workload. Strategic Purpose: Built to penetrate contested environments, countering advanced air defenses and stealth fighters from adversaries like China, with a focus on long-range engagements over vast theaters. Development Timeline: Prototypes have been flying since at least 2020, with full operational capability targeted for the 2030s, replacing the F-22 incrementally as numbers grow. Cost and Scale: Estimated at $300 million per unit, with plans for roughly 200 manned aircraft, though this is a planning figure subject to change. The F-47’s exact design and full capabilities remain shrouded in secrecy, typical of NGAD’s classified nature, but its unveiling signals a bold step forward in U.S. air power. Its blend of stealth, speed, range, and technological integration positions it as a cornerstone of future aerial warfare, though its high cost and complexity will likely spark ongoing debate about affordability and strategic priorities. U.S. military technology will continue to dominate all other nations like it always has.

A Not-So-Distant Future In about 12-20 years, a large part of the infantry in armies will be composed of robots and hybrids. The Chinese Unitree G1 already has impressive movements and gravity control. In the United States, there are two military prototypes for the use of hybrids on the battlefield. Each of these robots will control a group of aerial drones and will be capable of autonomous decisions involving an entire swarm when necessary. These aerial drones will detect hostile behaviors and emotions such as fear, as well as check uniforms and weapons loaded by units. All of this will be based on advanced sensors. There may even be the capability for the robots themselves to provide charging for their loyal drones. Nothing is as frightening as this future.

The day South Korea proved it could build a world-class fighter. When the KF-21 Boramae first took to the skies on July 19, 2022, it marked more than a successful test flight, it announced South Korea's arrival as one of the few nations capable of designing and producing an advanced supersonic combat aircraft. Built by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the twin-engine fighter can exceed Mach 1.8, features an indigenous AESA radar, and is designed to replace South Korea's aging F-4 and F-5 fleets while paving the way for future stealth capabilities. For Asia, the KF-21 is more than a new fighter—it's a major shift in regional aerospace innovation and defense, proving that cutting-edge military aviation is no longer dominated by just a handful of countries. A remarkable milestone in South Korean engineering. 🇰🇷✈️

🚨WHOA!!! Gravity Just Got Outmatched… Watch a C-17 Drop Out of the Sky Using Reverse Thrust Most people think giant cargo aircraft descend slowly in wide lazy circles. Not the American 🇺🇸 C-17. What you’re seeing in this footage is one of the most aggressive controlled descents ever engineered into a military aircraft. The C-17 Globemaster can actually deploy thrust reversers while still in the air… something almost no other jet transport can safely do. When those massive engines flip into reverse thrust, the physics of the aircraft changes instantly. Instead of the engines pushing the aircraft forward… they begin fighting the forward motion of the airplane. The result is dramatic. The aircraft can transition from flying nearly parallel to the horizon… to a steep nose-down descent that looks almost perpendicular compared to the Earth below. Pilots can drop altitude incredibly fast… going from high cruising altitude to landing approach in just a couple minutes. Why does this matter? Because the C-17 was built for battlefield logistics. It was designed to fly into dangerous airspace, descend rapidly to avoid threats, land on short or rough runways, unload equipment or troops, and get back into the air before anyone has time to react. That rapid descent capability allows the aircraft to minimize time exposed to enemy radar or missile threats. The moment the thrust reversers are disengaged, the aircraft stabilizes instantly and transitions back into normal controlled flight for landing. It’s a perfect example of American aerospace engineering. Four massive turbofan engines… flight computers… and aerodynamics working together to make a 585,000-pound aircraft move like a precision instrument in the sky. For people who have never seen reverse thrust used mid-air before… this footage is a rare look at how military airlift aircraft operate when seconds matter. It’s one of the coolest demonstrations of aviation physics you’ll ever see. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

🧐🇺🇸 Why Are Nations Still Buying the F-16 in the Age of Stealth Fighters? Because legends don't become obsolete. More than 50 years after its first flight, the F-16 Fighting Falcon remains one of the most sought after combat aircraft on Earth. Over 4,600 have been built, and more than 25 nations continue to operate the jet. The latest variant, the F-16 Block 70/72 Viper, comes equipped with an advanced AESA radar, modern electronic warfare systems, upgraded avionics, and a service life of up to 12,000 flight hours. So why do countries keep choosing it? 🔹Battle proven in real wars 🔹 Lower operating costs than many modern fighters 🔹 Capable of air to air and air to ground missions 🔹 Compatible with a vast arsenal of advanced Western weapons 🔹 Backed by decades of upgrades and combat experience While fifth generation fighters grab headlines, the F-16 continues to deliver results where it matters most, mission effectiveness, reliability, and affordability. Military experts expect upgraded F-16s to remain in service into the 2050s, meaning this Cold War warrior could still be flying nearly 80 years after its first flight. Thousands built. Dozens of nations. Five decades of combat history. The world isn't done with the F-16 yet.

Random Information Post ❗️ The F-15 S/MTD, part Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown 's Experimental Aircraft Series Set DLC or available on it's own in the F-15 S/MTD Set DLC, is a semi-historical fictional aircraft. It is based on the real life F-15 STOL/MTD and later F-15 ACTIVE test aircraft. The aircraft used for the project was pre-production TF-15A (F-15B) No. 1 (USAF S/N 71-0290), the first two-seat F-15 Eagle built by McDonnell Douglas (out of 2 prototypes), the sixth F-15 off the assembly line, and was the oldest F-15 flying up to its retirement. The programs ran from September 7th 1988 to January 30th 2009, where the air frame was finally retired. The aircraft was used in several tests and experiments centered around thrust vectoring and advanced avionics equipment. the F-15 STOL/MTD program was intended to give F-15s the ability to take off from short or damaged runways in the event that a war with the Soviet Union damaged them or forced the use of sub-optimal backup airfields. The canards on the aircraft are stabilizers from an F/A-18 that were attached to the fuselage, removing the 20mm Vulcan cannon in the process to allow for the modification. The aircraft used two types of thruster nozzles, the first being a square 2D nozzle, allowing thrust vectoring up and down, and later a 3D nozzle allowing thrust to be vectored in all directions. The program showed good results, though not intended as a performance upgrade McDonnel Douglas engineers noted a 15% increase in the plane's overall dog fighting performance from the modifications. Also noting takeoff speeds as low as 42 mph (68 km/h), and a 25% reduction in the required runway length for takeoff. However the US Air Force did not buy these upgrades. No official reason was made public but the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 likely eliminated the need and enthusiasm to upgrade the fleet of F-15s. The test aircraft continued to serve on loan to NASA until 2008 however, and is now on display at Edwards AFB. Still a very cool aircraft to look at, and a common sight in Ace Combat games since Ace Combat 3, with it's fictional F-15S/MT Eagle+ variant being it's first appearance in the franchise, and is one of my favorite fictional aircraft in the series. Sources: Wikipedia, Acepedia, and offhand knowledge from various articles and mentions from informed friends.

Aircraft Carriers: Very Much Alive, But in a Different Role We all thought aircraft carriers were obsolete, after all, because of their size, it's not hard to hit them with anti-ship missiles. And I would say there are missiles designed for this type of target with ranges up to 8,000 km, putting any large warship at risk. It is precisely in this context that aircraft carriers are reborn as extremely useful assets, because any long-range anti-carrier missile must carry out the initial target acquisition phase supported by its "kill web", which consists of reconnaissance satellites, over-the-horizon (OTH) radars, maritime patrol aircraft, and surveillance drones. Far from the coast, this primary acquisition is performed or enhanced by drones. Missiles such as the DF-21D, DF-26, and DF-27, for example, in addition to the initial guidance phase, rely heavily on external updates (satellites + drones) for mid-course corrections, even flight time being short, the target can displace dozens of kilometers. Once close, they will use their own onboard sensors, such as active radar, IR, optical sensors, and INS. But up to that point, they remain dependent on mid-course guidance. It is in this context that aircraft carriers play a fundamental role in fleet protection, sustaining dozens of HALE and MALE drones patrolling hundreds of kilometers and preventing enemy drones from conducting surveillance and target acquisition. These drones are also essential for interfering with enemy satellites through electronic warfare (EW), helping to keep the squadron safe by degrading or blocking orbital communications and tracking. Other measures will be complemented by the squadron's own EW capabilities, but keeping drones in the air to disrupt the enemy's kill web remains fundamental. Without aircraft carriers, there is no autonomy for these drones to cover the necessary area. Therefore, each aircraft carrier should operate with dedicated drone squadrons on a full-time basis. Very much alive, yes. Only now their game is denying the enemy the ability to find and target us, rather than going out to strike distant bases like in the old days. * Obviously, I support the decentralization m- also of C2-, of fleets and greater investment in smaller units, but large ships will continue to exist and must always be protected in safer areas. To move these the fleet in open sea, will be necessary drone cover, with ACs.

🇺🇸TRUMP'S SECRET F47 FIGHTER JET: “WE DON’T SHOW TOO MUCH” “This was a big secret. In fact, we don’t show too much of the plane for that reason." The 6th-gen jet, built by Boeing, is now officially entering production. Officials claim it surpasses every other aircraft on Earth. Nicknamed the “Ghost Eagle” by some in the defense world, the F47 is part of the Pentagon’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) initiative. It reportedly features: • AI-assisted targeting and pilot support systems • Stealth coating that dynamically responds to radar and thermal detection • Compatibility with hypersonic weapons and directed energy systems • Quantum-encrypted communications and multi-domain sensor fusion • Adaptive cycle engines capable of shifting between high-speed and fuel-efficient modes Boeing has kept details under wraps, but insiders say it leapfrogs the F-22 and F-35 by a full generation — built for total dominance in future air combat.

🚨🇨🇳 PENTAGON'S NIGHTMARE: TAILLESS SIXTH-GEN BREAKTHROUGH GIVES CHINA MAJOR EDGE OVER U.S. PROGRAMS Images of the Chinese Chengdu three-engine, tailless, sixth-generation heavy-lift aircraft show sharp turn-and-climb manoeuvres that finally confirm sophisticated flight-control software and wing-integrated elevons can deliver the pitch authority long questioned for tailless designs. 🔸 China becomes the first to fly a highly maneuverable tailless sixth-gen fighter prototype. 🔸 Chengdu's three-engine design relies on advanced software and wing elevons for pitch control without horizontal tails. 🔸 The tailless configuration significantly reduces radar cross section by eliminating tail surfaces and right-angle junctions. 🔸 Beijing targets early 2030s service entry while the U.S. F-47 is projected for the early 2040s. 🔸 Maneuverability is now proven but full sixth-gen capability still requires validation of sensor fusion, propulsion, and manned-unmanned teaming. Do you think the U.S. can reach China's military aviation technology?
