PLA next/6th generation fighter thread

[Blitzo]

NGAD has a cost issue. Till now no tech issues have come up. As far as we know.

I wouldn't be so confident about saying what the actual extent of the "issues" NGAD has are.
While cost is certainly a major element that is disclosed, cost is also very easily related with technology, requirements or capability (in fact, they're arguably all connected with one another)

Probably a good idea to not rule anything out.
However, what we do know is that either way the USAF over the last year seems to be reevaluating just what the actually want out of their NGAD effort.

Before EOY they claim in the comments section. Will anyone be bold and brave enough to snap a photo?

Just a perhaps strange question because I may not understand his post (linguistically) correctly:

Does he actually say he was in Chengdu to see the new aircraft or is he expressing more the hope of finally being able to see it?

Or am I completely misinterpreting his post?

Beware of dog head emoji. It equals to our "clueless face".

It's better translated as "I will stay/am staying in Chengdu" (current and future) rather than "I stayed in Chengdu" (implying past tense which is no longer the case currently)

As for the actual meaning, it is probably a combination of what you're saying: "I will stay in Chengdu to see the world's first sixth generation fighter" --> subtext being that he expects or hopes to see it in the near future.


Of course given it's cryptic and given the use of doge face, there's no need to read it too much in depth.
Overall IMO there's some collective noise that the new gen/6th gen J-XD might emerge at some point in the short term future.

Just out of curiosity (I am relatively new here )
Did this Orca dude reveal anything in the past of huge importance or made any prediction that was true (like pop3, yankee) ?

In short Is he really that credible that we should spend days discussing his cryptic post ?

TIL Yankeesama has an alt account on Weibo and that he claimed that J-XD is not pretty.

The doge emoji has a meaning like "dude trust me" in Chinese internet in most cases. So I think we don't have to take orca's comment too seriously.
