di1630 Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 They’ve openly said the B-21 is the first 6th gen aircraft…I just assumed the CCA capes were a given.The F-35 will be the last traditional fighter we produce. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
Clark Griswold Posted October 29, 2024 Author Posted October 29, 2024 The F-35 will be the last traditional fighter we produce. No inside knowledge but seems likely it with tech and operational trends known in the open world I think there’s still a place for a traditionally sized fighter with pilot/crew but to be relevant it probably would need to be built specifically to always or almost always operate with CCAsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile appConcur Just for the factor of expense the traditional sized fighter will continueI wonder what the right mix will be throughout the next generation strike packageLarge to medium and Manned, loyal wingmen and autonomous vehicles all linked to enablers and supporting assets.My guess is 50/50 to 60/40 sounds right manned to unmanned. Large to medium probably 1 to 4.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Clark Griswold Posted February 11 Author Posted February 11 Nah, Elon said it's junk and drones are the way to go.Just a guess but as he is read in I think his opinions will shift a bit Our enemies still fly and are planning to fly manned aircraft well into the next 20+ years, that says something even a genius like him can hearSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
