    They’re saying that the military might shift focus to development of 6th gen fighters to catch up with China.

      F35 is guaranteed to be better than a “6th generation” Chinese plane and they can be upgraded anyway. And it’s actually very successful now with a very cheap per plane cost.

            Not sure the specifics, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were countries interested in a next generation fighter jet, and is capable of buying from either the US or China.

        I’m sure it’ll be just as successful at sucking up billions in taxes with nothing to show for it.
