I’m not big into airframes but i think it’s a dieing artform making these jets. Some drone strapped to a pulse rocket will eventually make them all obsolete.
The same can be said for small arms I guess.
How do we know that the Chinese fighter jet is actually 6th gen and not say 5.999999… gen?
Also how are they stealing this tech from the future!
Lockheed’s stock price fell because they missed on earnings. It’s batshit to think a new fighter coming out of China would be bad for Lockheed. 🤡
A 6th gen fighter coming out of China while the US can’t make their 5th gen fighter work properly certainly does look bad for Lockheed.
Cope how? I’m not a fan. The worst thing in the world for Lockheed would be if US’s adversaries decided they weren’t going to be designing any new weapons systems. Lockheed runs on fear of what’s next.
Lockheed model of sucking up taxes without producing anything only works when the US feels they have superiority over the adversaries. Now that it’s becoming clear this is not the case, there will be a push to actually have to produce things that work, and Lockheed isn’t good at doing that.
