How Could the U.S. Military Already Have a Sixth Generation Fighter?

A massive and still largely unknown technology breakthrough may be upon us, by virtue of the apparent Air Force decision to not only fast-track a new 6th-Gen fighter platform but actually fly it.

While of course technical details and specifics regarding the kinds of 6th-Gen platforms which have been in development are closely held or not public for security reasons, that fact that one is here now seems to suggest that sufficient technological breakthroughs have occurred to inspire a decision to actually “build and fly” a new stealth fighter jet platform.

 *****rollingeyes***** How? *****rollingeyes***** Maybe because development didn't stop after the F-22 and F-35 were developed? *****rollingeyes***** The F-22 began production in 1996 and entered service in 2005. *****rollingeyes*****
