China stuns with heavy stealth tactical jet's sudden appearance

China has seemingly begun testing a new stealthy sixth-generation combat aircraft, as evidence emerged today with images of the aircraft and a two-seat Chengdu J-20S fighter. The new design features a modified delta wing and a tailless configuration, indicating advancements in stealth technology aimed at reducing radar signatures.

Its larger size and various air intakes suggest it may employ three engines for enhanced performance. While the aircraft’s exact role is unclear, it could signify China's significant progress in air combat systems. The existence of this aircraft raises concerns about future aerial threats to U.S. and allied forces.
