6th Generation Fighter's Ranked

[retaxis]

For China to sell its 5th gen J-35, China must be very confident in its technology as we all know China doesn't like to sell its top tier stuff.

At present, the only sixth-generation fighter programs worldwide that have truly materialized—with prototype flight tests and entry into live-aircraft validation—are those of China and the United States.

Europe’s FCAS and GCAP remain at the blueprint and model stage, while Russia is still bogged down in the production quagmire of fifth-generation fighters and has long since fallen completely out of the first tier.

It must be aliens, because a 6th gen platform cannot have canards !!!

There’s no way it’s a sixth-generation fighter. How could a sixth-gen fighter possibly have canards?

According to the narrative from Europe, the U.S., and their bootlickers, canards are a backward feature of fourth-generation fighters. America’s fifth-generation jets, the F-22 and F-35, don’t have canards. The J-20 has canards, so it supposedly isn’t as advanced as American fifth-generation fighters.

So why are they suddenly turning around and copying China, going backward?
