they will take X-36 prototype make it full scale color it make it put some weapons and a radar on it and call it 6th gen because why? its all recycled because the designs where so peak that they had to go back and use it
same with northtops new F/A-XX design
the jet at the bottom is pretty old
so we gonna call “6th” the 5.5++ gen because I’m happy with that but upgraded f35s will take that and upgraded f22s its just a name for whenever USA or china feels its a noticable jump in tech and decides to put 0.5 or 1 infront of it and it tricks us all BUT NOT ME I know Gens mean nothing which is why I like to call b21 6th gen since it will share many of the same tech with what everyone is okay with calling 6th gen
