China recently revealed the world’s first sixth-generation fighter jet. In videos posted on social media, the jet can be seen, resembling a tail-less stealth spacecraft.
Footage of its first flight flooded social media, with internet users shocked by the futuristic “super weapon,” hailed by experts as the “most advanced” ever, flying in an arc through the sky.
According to a report from the British website The Sun, the test flight of the sixth-generation jet is the latest in a series of advancements in China’s military aircraft program.
Military experts said that the latest model, unofficially named J-36, marks a significant shift in air dominance toward China.
The test flight took place last Thursday, December 26, a date believed to have been intentionally chosen to coincide with the anniversary of dictator Mao Zedong, who founded the People’s Republic of China.
