According to Defense News the USAF has already built and flown... in under a year... a full-scale prototype 'with mission equipment' of the Next-Generation Air Defense fighter.
Under. A. Year. It took the F-35 a decade to reach this same milestone in development. Everybody else is struggling to field their first 5th generation bird, and here the USAF has managed to sail right past all of them while doing the Teddy Roosevelt 'what's up bitches'.
I wonder if the unexpected flights of supposed F-117's that have been occurring all summer were actually cover for test flights of the new bird?
