Chinese 6th gen has zero stealth. I can see it in the video right here. Unlike the US sixth gen, which is so stealth even the US military themselves can't see it. US is clearly unbeatable.

[charliehigglons]

You can't compare it to NGAD because NGAD doesn't exist.

After the J 36 test flight, A Pentagon spokesman said: The United States is a peaceful country and has no intention of engaging in an arms race with the People's Liberation Army.

[aligator]

Ahead? My man, you are comparing an already flying plane to a paper concept...

[KrazeDiamond]

Why are people still talking about NGAD? The plan has been scrapped, the US does NOT have a 6th Gen fighter.

[ShibalotonSeattle]

China stole the NGAD, literally. They stole and flew it over to Chengdu.
That can also explain why the project is on hold, cause the plane is in China right now and Pentagon cannot get it back.

[brucechow]

NGAD is so stealth that nobody can see it. China's 6th gen fighter jets are not so stealth because everyone can see it from below😂

[mettaworldpeace]

US NGAD is so stealth that it is nowhere to be found.

[leipamies]

To be honest we as the civilians don’t know actual shit about how high tech these things are and how long these projects are ahead that we think

[Failedartstudent]

The idea that China only produces cheap knockoffs is foolish. Because China has the capability to build a space station, it is not surprising that it would build such a high-performance fighter jet.

[izak]

All the gremlins in this comment section explain a lot of why we're in the current situation we're in globally. Literally "my dad could beat up your dad" but with countries that have nuclear weapons. Blind nationalism, devoid of any useful analysis or objective framing.

[akakakakakak]

No worry, US has Tom Cruise and Hollywood.

[grid-panda]

There is no doubt that as long as NGAD's Powerpoint presentation is updated frequently enough, it will always be ahead of the Chinese.

[zenden]

I am American, I really want USAF to fly a 6th gen fighter and not with all the empty bragging and self comfort comments from US fans.

[astroch]

The chinese are so good copying that they copied a plane from the future!

[iupring]

It is more realistic to compare the fires in the United States and the earthquakes in China these days. Sorry, the United States does not have the sixth-generation aircraft yet.

[thejeffinvade]

Your analysis is the most objective I saw on YouTube. All the pictures and posts are from official sources or reputable outlets citing actual words of government/industry officials. Less speculation and more facts, I really appreciate your honesty.

[cywan]

The American aviation industry needs to recruit more Indian CEOs, engineers, and workers. India is currently developing the seventh generation fighter jet ahead of the whole world!

[tomazznidarko]

It's an interesting fact, that are a lot of simulations of how US and Chinese are fighting in front of China coast, but none in front of US coast. Isn't it strange? Who is here an aggressor and who defend itself?

[siphoramashiya]

This show never disappoints...China flew a tailless prototype jet and they never said its a 6th gen jet...US never flew such a jet. Yet the host says China is behind by 4/5 yrs in this tech. (You come to that conclusion by comparing some research paper of a future US jet with a a Chinese prototype...we must believe that this is an analysis of some sort...hai maan)
