China flies sixth generation fighter plane: This ‘super weapon’ has increased the tension between America, know how it will face it?

China has once again created a stir at the global level, the reason is its sixth-generation stealth fighter jet. According to the report, its name is J 36. Photos and videos of the first flight of two sixth-generation stealth fighter jets in China’s Con are going viral. However, the Chinese government or military has not yet stated this. The designs of both are completely different. According to defense experts, this new generation fighter jet will be much more advanced and dangerous than the existing fifth-generation American f22, f35, Chinese j20, and India’s underdeveloped AMCA. These new generation aircraft will be capable of electro-optic sensors, drone integration, and advanced warfare. This aircraft is based on a triangular tiles design, which makes it very difficult to get caught by the radar. According to the report, the fighter jet has been designed for long-range operation. It may have 3 engine configurations. This can be guessed from the large size of this aircraft. It is being said that its capacity to store fuel and war material can be more. This is bad news because India does not have any still fighter jets. China is already using its J-25 fighter jet. India is far behind China in military power, the biggest reason for which is the expenditure on defense. According to the report of War on the Rocks, China will spend 474 billion dollars on defense this year, which is much more than its 2024 defense budget, while India’s defense expenditure is only 75 billion dollars. China is also spending a lot on aero defense along with research and development. Currently, India has a 4.5th generation. India’s fifth-generation fighter jet AMca is still in the early stages. According to the report, the first flight of AMca can take place in 2026 and to include it in service, one may have to wait till the next decade. This program is very important to counter China’s advanced fighter jet, but because its engines are being developed with the help of America and France, therefore There is a delay in this. Similar problems are being faced in modifying Tejas. Similarly, LCMK2B, which will replace Mirage 2000 and Mi 29, is many years away from joining the Air Force. In such a situation, India will have to move forward rapidly in these programs to deal with China. At the same time, the US Air Force is also moving ahead in developing more power for the sixth generation.

6th Gen White Emperor: Sixth generation fighter jet White Emperor flies for the first time, when will India’s AMCA fly?

China Practice makes a fool smart i.e. by constantly trying, even a fool becomes wise and China has proved it true that by constant effort and practice, any position can be achieved. Despite the flaws in its previous fighter jet projects, China did not give up and now it has demonstrated its power in front of the world by flying the Sixth Generation Fighter Jet White Emperor. This White Emperor of China is not only showing its advanced technical capability but is also posing a tough challenge to other countries of the world including India. This Sixth Generation Fighter Jet from China


White Emperor is equipped with the most advanced technology to date. This fighter jet is full of features that make it far ahead of the Fifth Generation Jet. Its biggest feature is its stealth technology. First of all, let’s talk about the stealth design. The engine in this jet is completely covered which enables it to hide from the enemy’s radar. It is equipped with a double engine due to which this jet can reach supersonic speed and it has been designed to maneuver fast. Not only this, it also has a weapon internal bay, which gives the ability to keep the weapon inside the jet and makes it more stealthy. Not only this, this fighter jet is equipped with advanced control fins, which are small fins on its tail that allow it to change direction rapidly in the air. China claims that the White Emperor is very close to production and will soon be inducted into the Chinese army. This move by China is a big setback for India. India’s Tejas fighter jet is still based on fourth-generation technology, while America already has fifth-generation fighter aircraft like the F35, which is famous worldwide for its stealth and weapon capability. China making a sixth-generation fighter jet means that it has become the second country to do so after America. India will have to think seriously at this time about how to speed up its fighter aircraft program. India’s AMCA. The Advanced Medium Comet Aircraft project, which is to make a fifth-generation fighter jet, is still in its initial stages. It needs to be taken forward rapidly. If there is a delay in this, then India will be technically in trouble. It will lag even further behind China. If India has to maintain its strength for a long time, then it will have to focus more on domestic technological development. HL  Hindustan Aeronautical Limited and DRDO. Defense Research Organization need to be given more funding and better resources. This achievement of China teaches India that efforts should never be stopped. From J20 to J31, China saw failures many times but it did not give up. Now it has got the fruits of its efforts in the form of White Emperor. Well, India still has time. If it takes its defense policy and plans in the right direction, then it can stand at par with China and America, but for this, more emphasis will have to be given on self-reliance and technological development.

China Shocked the World with This 6th Generation Fighter Jet | The most advanced fighter jet that India has is the Rafale fighter jet of the 4.5 generation.

The 8 Max is China’s 6th generation fighter jet. These two fighter jets are many years ahead of Indian technology. Then even the US has not yet developed such fighter jets with European technology why the 6th generation fighter jet is altogether a huge game changer



Generation fighter jets Now the 6th generation fighter jets have arrived, where does the world stand with 8 Max India We have our own self-made Tejas, whose fighter jet engine is also American-made. Look, we are far behind in terms of fighter jet technology. China has gone many times ahead. There are many technologies where India competes with China. For example, I would say that China is a little ahead in space, but the USA is also moving ahead. ISRO is doing a very good job in itself, the way NASA’s space missions are moving ahead
China Stunned the world because look, Russia is also making a sixth-generation fighter jet but no such video has come out. China has gone way ahead, I would say that China is slowly getting ahead of even the USA in this matter. Because the sixth generation fighter jet will change the dynamics of war altogether. Now here you will ask a question about the fourth generation fighter jet you can say that to a large extent, there are F16, various other fighter jets, Sukhoi fighter jets, etc. The main focus of fighter jets was their maneuverability; they could turn very easily, dodge missiles, and trick the enemy. In the fifth generation, our focus was on stealth, and how a fighter jet can enter enemy territory without being detected by the raider. I can go into the sixth generation, you just remove the pilot, the sixth generation fighter jets run on artificial intelligence and a pilot can operate these fighter jets without even sitting inside it, so that Obviously, human safety increases and you can carry out more dangerous maneuvers. And if you are asking whether there will be a pilot in the Sixth Generation Fighter Jet, then look there will be options for both manned and unmanned pilots if you need a pilot there for a specific mission. Wherever you believe that there should be a human being, then in that case there will be a human being, but in the sixth generation fighter jets, artificial intelligence, and data fusion will be used so much that the evolution of humans will reduce to a great extent. A team will be controlling this fighter jet and at the same time the range of weapons in this fighter jet will be very high, beyond visual range weapons, you will see the range even beyond that in the sixth generation fighter jet, so all together this is a game-changing fighter It will be a Jat and you can also imagine the capabilities that the fourth and fifth generation fighter Jats had, one is the maneuverability as well as the stealth feature, this is already here But it is there but a larger question arises here that what should India do now. Russia is also moving towards the sixth generation, the US is also developing it, China is posting videos, and there is a lot of flux about it. China is looking at India, for now, there is only one option the AMCA that they are developing should not only be made fifth generation but also 5.5 generation so that when it is ready in 2035 then at least India does not lag much behind China but Again we are talking about 10 years, only 5 in 10 years.

5 whereas China has already showcased its sixth-generation fighter jets to the world. Now in the middle of all this, there is a comment by the world’s richest man Elon Musk. I would also like to mention this. But, since India has lagged far behind, India needs to choose a different path. I will explain it to you. Elon Musk believes that fighter jets like the F35 or any fighter jet where you need a pilot will die very quickly in a real war. Elon Musk believes that the US or any country that genuinely wants to prepare for a future war will have to focus on two things: one is a hypersonic missile that can penetrate the enemy’s missile defense system and make a direct impact and cause heavy damage. Second, long-range drones. Look, everyone has seen one thing in the Russia-Ukraine war. Russia has a very modern air force, but that air force could not do much in large-scale warfare. Russia is fine, it bombs once in a while, but the cheap missiles of Ukraine are not being used. The drone is a Turkish-made drone. It has caused heavy damage to the Prime Bike and various other types of cheap drones. We have seen many videos where these drones are hitting Russian buildings. Many Russian soldiers have been killed by these drones. But now India should choose another way. If we are lagging far behind in fighter jets, because again I cannot imagine how bad the situation is. To build even the fourth-generation fighter jet, we have to import engines from abroad. We are far behind. So, yes, now the time has come to divert our resources towards hypersonic missiles, long-range drones, and maybe in a multi-country program, tomorrow Japan or maybe other European countries, if all of them work together on a sixth-generation fighter jet, work on its design, but yes, India can evolve itself there because the future of war is very much dependent on drones. So finally, see here I am saying I would like to ask you guys a question. Answer it in the comment section. This is the only question of today. You can say it because I cannot explain it. This is a very important issue. I mean I am not able to describe it in words because I have said many times that we need a 100 billion dollar budget again. I am not saying this just because it sounds good. We need an increased defense budget because in many matters we have lagged far behind. The squadrons of our fighter jets have reduced considerably. We need to improve our air force. Well, here I will ask you guys a question. Finally, according to you, should India also pursue making the sixth generation fighter jets or do you believe that Elon Musk is right? Now the era of these mad aircraft is over to a great extent. Focus on hypersonic missiles and make such a program of long-range drones in the way ISRO is a boundless success. Make such long-range drones that you can say the name of India becomes one in the world. Dras says that if any country makes the best drone then it is India. Of course, I am talking about military drones and not wedding drones.

Plan/Job Investigation of China’s sixth-gen warrior stream

This video will review its most obvious design features and try to understand their implications. It will also explore where China is with its sixth-generation fighter in the design process. We’ll explain what we’re looking at when we see that strange-looking flying diamond of a plane  A video coming shortly will go more in-depth, provide historical context make comparisons with the US NextGen program, and explain what it all means.

What the appearance of the plane means for China and what it could mean for the US The imminent flight of a Chinese 6G airframe has been rumored for a few days now and it seems to have happened The plane is seen flying over the city of Chengdu maybe and what it could mean for the US Took off from the factory premises of the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, the manufacturer of China’s J20 fifth generation fighter, it was the appropriate pursuit plane for the occasion So how is the new plane, thankfully the J20 pursuit plane gives us context at long range due to the telephoto lens used. The sizes of both aircraft can be confidently compared and while the J20 has a wingspan of around 13m, this new aircraft is larger its wingspan could reach 20m which would be unheard of for a jet fighter, especially when we look at the configuration of the planes. These wings are tilted very far back, basically, they are expected from a supersonic fighter jet, their length can be estimated from other images which suggest 20 to 22 meters, that is without the nose belly tube, which is required for testing, but years later the final design would not have it. The trailing edge of the wing is tilted forward forming a diamond shape. The shape of the wing is somewhat reminiscent of the YF 23, although not as extreme in general. The theoretically correct stealth shape for an aircraft is a so-called hopeless diamond, a correct RMO shape is as flat as possible. And with as few protrusions as possible, it is clear that the volume of the aircraft is very large, its belly entrance starts quite far forward and the body of the aircraft is very wide, this is possible because the Air Force required to threaten Guam, such a requirement would have pushed the aircraft forward. The design tends to be so large that the wing area is also enormous, making the plane very large, though not badly so, but its size is limited to accepting such a large amount of fuel and a hint about the placement of the weapons suggests that its weapon placement is very large. It may have been about 6 meters long,

Which incidentally is equal to the length of China’s latest long range PL17 missile, surely with such a large body even cruise missiles larger than the US JASM can easily fit in, what is visible is the sensor apertures around the nose and not just the nose radome but also some separate cheek side radomes, the aircraft has a visible cockpit cover, so it is manned as of now, the images are not large enough to guess if it is large enough to seat two people, rumors before the flight had suggested that the aircraft has side by side seating meaning two pilots, which is similar to the F-111 or S34, this does not mean that we are looking at a strike aircraft because the sixth generation fighter aircraft is going to do aerial warfare in a different way, but given the size of the aircraft and its weapons it is also the design shown is quite plausible it is actually a multi-role aircraft covering all types of aerial combat and ground attack missions, but we leave out one of the most special features, which Perhaps unique in the world, its engine arrangement has three engines lined up side to side in this scheme, with one of the engines at the rear. The side engines use belly slash side intakes and the middle engine seems to have a separate dorsal intake, such an arrangement is unheard of for a real fighter jet that managed to get off the drawing board, the side intakes seem to be of the carrot type like the F22 and not the useless supersonic inlet type that the F35 and j20 use, whether this indicates a higher top speed is just unknown, certainly the high sweep of the wings, combined with the high sweep of a continuous line of the nose that blends into the wing, the roots suggest a fairly high theoretical mockup figure now why three engines it is too early to tell, but it may suggest that the designers simply could not create a powerful yet compact enough engine for such an aircraft and restricted the design to the more usual two engines. It is huge, the twin-wheel bogies used on the main landing gear can be seen. Judging by the size of the landing gear it seems its maximum takeoff weight is probably designed for 50 tons. In an older era, it would have been a tactical bomber, but aircraft have been getting bigger for decades and all countries’ NextGen aircraft are likely to be heavier than their predecessors. This thing is probably so big that China’s two most powerful engines – the WS15, which can reach 200 KW of thrust in its future versions, may not be enough to power it, so three engines are probably needed. It is also possible that the middle engine is something different and that engine is managed to be used for different situations and needs. It is not known if China is going with variable cycle engines like the US or not, but if not then China may have optimized one engine for supersonic speeds while the others will be regular designs. There are compromises to operating at both takeoff and supersonic speeds, plus the plane may need three engines to supply enough power, modern planes are packed with so many power-demanding features that power generation is becoming a bottleneck, imagine a laser self-defense feature in the future it would also require tons of power, added the Ultimately the whole design should be a very big leap forward in terms of stealth in 2022, US General Mark Kelly said that China was on track with the development of its sixth generation fighter and that China is considering rapidly increasing its stealth. At best this is a contextless statement but the plane we are looking at is similar to what has been proposed in the six-generation proposals, a tailless shape of simplified geometry, the fact that it has no regular vertical control surfaces is very likely going to make it even more stealthy. It is more difficult to control than previous-generation aircraft which will of course affect its maneuverability, but sixth-generation designs don’t seem to be about maneuverability which will probably be the job of unmanned drones flying in front of these larger manned fighters, it may even have three engines. There’s some way to help stabilize the aircraft, there are certainly split flaps near the wing tips to help control the aircraft the B2 bomber uses a similar concept
but in the cruising phase of flight they’ll be closed and flush with the wings it’s very early to speculate more about this aircraft but it does seem to be a big step up in China’s capability so we’ll leave that speculation for another video that includes comparisons to the US 6th generation and what all of this could mean for both China and the US right now it’s a prototype if the rumors are to be believed it’s sort of a demonstrator like the of-23 or if-22 or the x32 and x35 warhead and rumor has it that China
hasn’t decided on the final manufacturer yet so it could be a proposal for another sixth generation aircraft from Changhu Aircraft Corporation, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation is going to fly demonstrator aircraft soon. Some early images may indicate that this has already happened, but that is a different story, depending on where the US 6G program is. China has slightly outpaced the US Air Force. But if this is indeed a pre-selection prototype and if the US only has the Florida concept and six-generation technology demo aircraft so far, then China may be flying the world’s first six-generation fighter.

Whom did Jinping warn on the pretext of Taiwan, and will China wage war for it; Everything that is important to know


This is China and this is Taiwan. There is a 180 km long Taiwan Strait between them. Currently, there is an elected government in Taiwan but the Chinese President Mr. Jinping is hell-bent on merging it with China. Listen to this statement. No one can stop the reunification of Taiwan with China and China will continue its efforts. The tension between Taiwan and China started after the Second World War. Now let us know how China can capture Taiwan. According to the 2023 report of the US Defense Ministry, China has the largest navy power in the world.


From the beginning of December 2024, China started capturing the sea areas around Taiwan. A large number of warships were deployed in the South China Sea. In 2024, China conducted two sea war exercises in the sea border around Taiwan so that Taiwan’s maritime border could be fully captured. Apart from this, Russian Foreign Minister Karen Loyal supported China on the Taiwan issue and said that China has always supported China regarding Taiwan, which will continue in the future. Now the question is why Jinping talked about capturing Taiwan now because Prasenjit Vishwas According to the report, Donald Trump is going to take oath as the President of America on 20 January. Till now America has been helping Taiwan but Trump wants Taiwan not to be helped after Trump becomes President. Now let us know whether China is in a position to start a war over Taiwan. Professor of UNESCO Chair for PC at BHU says that capturing Taiwan is a matter of a few days for China but China does not want a situation like war. China understands its situation. Due to a weak economy, China is not able to wage war. If China captures Taiwan through war, then it will have a bad effect on China’s image and economy. Talking about China, America has been supporting India and America in the Taiwan dispute, but now a new President Donald Trump is coming there and keeps changing his stance. In such a situation, it is a bit difficult to say how long America will support Taiwan. On the other hand, if we look from India’s point of view, recently relations with China have improved and agreements have been reached on the border dispute. Taiwan does not even have an embassy in India, that is, India has not even recognized them. In such a situation, India will not support Taiwan while opposing China.
