President Donald Trump has touted a new contract with Boeing to produce the Air Force’s sixth-generation fighter jet, the F-47. The announcement comes after years of trouble with the F-35, which has been plagued by major technical problems and cost overruns for the last decade.
Trump announced the project for the “Next-Generation Air Dominance” (NGAD) platform during an Oval Office presser on Friday, saying the F-47 would be the Pentagon’s “most lethal” warplane and “something the likes of which nobody has ever seen before.”
“In terms of all the attributes of a fighter jet, there’s never been anything even close to it, from speed to maneuverability to what it can have [as] payload. And this has been in the works for a long period of time,” the 47th US president said. “America’s enemies will never see it coming.”
Poster Comment:
Russia already developed and is flying their version, the Mig 41. It operates at very high altitudes and high speeds. It is invulnerable and will diminish any jets or missiles we send up.
We need Elon musk to hinsh his DOGE audit with auditibg of the gold at Fort Knox, the audit of the FED at DC and NYC and the audit of the DOD and the 6 other agencies where the rest of our military budget lies.
After that, we need him and people from SpaceX to take a look at all US weapons programs to make improvements and suggest cost savings.
