| 2025-04-20 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Footage has emerged of the sixth-generation J-36 fighter jet performing an aerial drift in China. The video shows the plane turning in mid-air almost on the spot and continuing to fly without any problems. Many aircraft are unable to perform such a maneuver. The J-36 is a three-engine prototype of a sixth-generation heavy fighter that is equipped with thrust vectoring engines. The figure performed in the air is called a "flat spin". As reported by the Regnum news agency, in December 2024, footage of the first flight of a new Chinese fighter, possibly sixth generation, appeared on the Internet. In the footage, an unknown aircraft was flying accompanied by a fifth-generation Chinese fighter, the Chengdu J-20. On January 10, another aircraft of unknown type, possibly another concept of a sixth-generation manned tactical combat aircraft, was spotted in a satellite image from Shenyang, China. It is specified that the aircraft, created according to the tailless design, is 15 meters long, has a diamond-shaped wing and two engines. |

| #3 Looks like a blended copy of a B-58, F-16XL, F-102a and a British Vulcan B2-Avro. No originality, just a copy. |

| #1 Good job bleeding off all your energy and losing any maneuverability. |
