China Has a New Secret Fighter Jet
If this is what those drones are, I’m going to be annoyed.
In recent years, China’s military technology has gotten really good. Like, really, really good. Like “make you distrust birds” good.
For the most part, however, people in the West haven’t been too intimidated by this rise, apart from the normal blabbering you hear from politicians on TV who are scared of *everyone*.
That might be changing, however, with the introduction of this new fighter. Authors Thomas Newdick and Tyler Rogoway have a great breakdown on The Warzone, but for the time being, there’s very little we know about it besides “oh god they’re getting really good at this.”

So far one of the clearest images of that new CHinese fighter and indeed it seems to be powered by three engines!

Also interesting, a J-20S was acting as its chase-plane. pic.twitter.com/BzcjSKEdlVChina Stuns With Heavy Stealth Tactical Jet’s Sudden Appearance

This is the most advanced flying machine we have seen out of China, lacking any tails and packing stealth and long range.
