The discussions on the forum have started to go deeper, which is good, but there's an elephant in the room that hasn't been mentioned yet: what would the combat scenario look like between sixth-generation aircraft, or rather, between military systems equipped with sixth-generation fighters?
Let me kick off the discussion by posing a few questions for everyone to consider:
  1. How much will the stealth capabilities improve compared to fifth-generation fighters? (Will it be exponential?) Under the conditions of all-aspect, all-band stealth of sixth-generation fighters, how can they be detected? How close does one need to be to detect them?
  2. Will manned sixth-generation fighters actually encounter each other in combat?
  3. What role will unmanned wingmen fighter play in combat? Could the battlefield turn into a contest of drone numbers?
Let's assume that by 2035, both China and the U.S. will have around fifty manned sixth-generation fighters each (I believe the NGAD will certainly be revived given the recent news, but the high costs and the increasing role of drones might limit the production numbers of manned sixth-generation fighters). If a limited war breaks out between the two over the Taiwan issue in the Pacific, what would the aerial landscape over the Pacific look like?

Binkov's latest video provided a simplified answer to my question. Go check it out. :D

its almost impossible to tell, how many J-36 PLAAF is going to acquire.. what will be the situation of NGAD in early 2030's also number of B-21s in US military. it will also depend on western pacific theater and Taiwan..

i believe, everything will depend on USA fleet in early 2030's. PLAAF could acquire way more J-36 what we people are assuming right now.

Is there a solid reason for PLAAF to actually procure a large number of J-36s? With almost all of Chinese aviation's latest technologies packed into one plane, I really don't think it is as affordable or attritible as people seem to think. If each J-36 can command just 8 CCAs then a squadron of 24 can field an strike force of 192 UAVs, mind you a strike package of this size is already larger than most countries entire air forces. As long as China can procure and mass produce appropriate companion CCAs, you really don't need to many J-36s to have an outsized force multiplier effect.

I think the minimum J-36 fleet size is 120, which is 1 squadron of 24 for each of the 5 theater commands.

The maximum could be limited by how quickly an even faster 7th generation comes along.

驾驶歼-36可不是一件容易的事，飞行员穿的代偿服，跟宇航服似的，穿戴程序复杂得要命，起飞前的准备工作更是繁琐，检查这，检查那，一丝不苟，这可不是玩游戏，点一下鼠标就能起飞，这可是性命攸关的大事，一不小心，小命就没了

According to the same author, the fashionable German military uniforms contributed to Germany's defeat in World War II. That sounds totally legit.

P.S. How's your experience with chicken blood therapy?
