F-47 Design Progressing, First Flight On Track

[AZ_HighCountry]

Folks, keep the discussion focused on the F-47.

There are two dedicated threads for discussing the Iran/Israel/US conflict. This is not one of them.

Probably daft question to ask. US don’t need a huge fleet of expensive stealth Jets if you have air superiority around the globe, so just makes a lot sense to have a big fleet of non-stealth jets like build a new F16 viper that have the latest tech to participate in the modern battle-space. Case in point: B-52.

Can latest F-16 and F-15EX stand against J-20/J-35 and upcoming J-36/J-50?

My point is 4TH Gen jets aren’t going anywhere, they’ll still gonna be the workhorses. F16 latest viper is not to be underestimated by any one.

This statement of yours is an outright lie.

USA established partial superiority that was still be challenged over specific select areas, and the bulk of its strikes done against Iran were done using long range SOW's ...

The last time USA tried to do a major operation directly over Iran was in April, it lost a few aircraft in that operation.

What is the proof for your statement?
Considering that the entirety of Iranian AD was dismantled within 2 weeks.

What "few aircraft" did it lose? The onus is on you to prove your own statement is not an outright lie.
