China's Dark Sword Stealth FIghter that's a UAV!

via Business Insider.

China released images of a new, unmanned, stealth fighter-style jet, and they present a shocking look into how close Beijing has come to unseating the US as the dominant military air power.

China has already built stealth fighter jets that give US military planners pause, but the images of its new unmanned plane, named the "Dark Sword," suggest a whole new warfighting concept that could prove an absolute nightmare for the US.

Justin Bronk, an air-combat expert at the Royal United Services Institute, said the Dark Sword "represents a very different design philosophy" than US unmanned combat jet plans.

Bronk examined the photos available of the Dark Sword and concluded it appeared optimized for fast, supersonic flight as opposed to maximized stealth.

Thanks F-35, F-35 Mafia, Lockheed Martin, Generals on the payroll and the rest of the traitors in our midst.

For the sake of one underperforming airplane you're letting it all slip away.

This might be vapor ware.

It might be nothing but a concept that they're working on.

But they're obviously working on something and if this comes to fruition, while we're chasing concepts with no bearing on reality the Chinese are coming thru the wire to slit our proverbial throats.

The time for fantasy, politics, greed, arrogance and every other vice is long over.

It's time to get serious about the defense of our nation and the defense of the West.

Love them or hate them, the Chinese are hard, motivated and smart.

We either match their tenacity or learn to speak Mandarin while they take over the Pacific.
