I wouldn't discount the 2029 manned aircraft segment that quickly. The 6th gen fighters probably wouldn't be in service yet, but the stuff that should be ready is still pretty impressive. J-20s and J-35s with new engines, KJ-700, and KJ-3000 should all be in service by then, and that's not counting any stuff that we didn't know about yet. Back four years ago, we didn't know about the J-15T and J-15DT, the J-35s, and so on. And of these, the AWACS planes are basically world beaters - the E-7 is the next best, but I don't think it's in the same class of capability.
