I do not want to rate his credibility, but at least it shows (at least IMO ) it is a video and not only a "moved still" or even a CGI or PS-job= Or am I wrong?

By the way ... What do you think: Real or faked? BEWARE OF THE MUSIC! o_O:eek:

In fact I don't know; therefore my question ... even more so since AI and PS are still more of a mystery to me!

As such at first sight I thought it looks legit since it shows some movement, also in the background but hey, what all can be done by AI nowadays! Therefore again ... it looks very fishy, in fact just surreal strange to me but I really don't know.

Captured few frames from the video, I don't think the engine would 'blink' alternately like this under normal operating conditions.
Preety sure this is AI generated.

Funny how when the J-20 was unveiled they said it wasn’t an air superiority fighter. They said the canards made it not stealthy. But now you see NGAD concepts have canards and vertical tail fins while claiming the J-36 is only about air superiority.

I thought it was the FA-XX that had canards in its concept art. Seems like something the navy needs.

Naval fighters need lift enhancing mechanisms like canards for short takeoffs. Northrop NATF and an earlier proposal for JASF had canards as well.

They are likely just art, and those artists likely don't have real access to the secret programs that are under development for NGAD or F/A-XX. I think it's highly likely that both F/A-XX and NGAD won't feature canards. Boeing has had concept arts for both canard and canard less next generation fighters as well so you should not be taking those arts too seriously.
