In the Vietnam War, North Vietnam had more Aces than the U.S. - 19 to 5. They flew mainly MiG-21s.

As advanced as the aurora is, it STILL spews out exhaust in the back in order to move forward.....and STILL must have wings for lift. That is why it cannot be used as an explanation for UFOs yet there are people who think so. They make no sense.

If the Nazis had succeeded in building a flying saucer, the entire world would have been speaking German and saying, "Heil Hitler" all this time!

Looks like a cross between the F-22 and F-18 to me.

Doesn't matter how fast it flies, over 90% of the people will never experience such convenience anyway.

@IvanNguyen-ky6nn Funny how enemies become friends and friends become enemies.

@aperson336 Uh...ever heard of fighter escorts?

Yeah...just like the Ghost of Kiev. 😂😅🤣😁

@RemoteViewr1 But UFOs were seen by fighter pilots way back in WWII (eighty years ago!)
1
@RemoteViewr1 The copycat ones emit harmful radiation and sometimes crash. The real ones don't.
1
@RemoteViewr1 Because humans dont know how to generate the enormous energy required to run flying saucers other than by fission reactors, which emit harmful radiation and are dangerous.
1
@RemoteViewr1 I presuppose nuclear fission because that is the only way humans know how to generate such enormous energy required to manipulate the fabric of space-time in order to move a craft through it. Aliens don't use fission because they know how to extract energy from Element 115. All technologies build upon previous ones and improve incrementally. UFO technology is entirely off on a tangent that has no bearing to any previous technologies. That is why I seriously doubt humans built UFOs. If we did, it would be via reverse engineering, which would only be an approximate copy (which is prone to accidents and malfunctions.)

The name indicates that this jet is built to put the U.S. in check. Brilliant!

Russia had put America on notice by the name of their 2 most advanced Fighters - the SU-57 and this Checkmate. 57 is what you get when you add 22 + 35...as in F-22 and F-35. And the name "Checkmate" is self explanatory.

@Trim11 If the F-22 is so invincible, then why is the U.S. Air Force retiring it after only 16 years in service? They are accelerating the development of the 6th Generation fighter to replace the 22. It normally takes 20 years to bring a prototype fighter to front line service. But because of the SU-57 and China's J-20, the U.S. Air Force must work fast to develop and field the new fighter. Proof that the 22 is obsolete.

@Trim11 The new 6th Gen fighter is primarily a manned fighter. It's called "Situational Awareness". Drones could be jammed and they are yet to have the cognitive ability of a human pilot. Look at the Tesla FSD system for example - it slammed into the side of a truck thinking that that side was an overhead road sign. Now imagine the fog of air battle where a million things go on in 3 dimensional space. Radar jamming is everywhere. The drone no longer receives instructions from the operator on the ground therefore it must decide on its own what to do. I don't think today's AI is at that level of cognition yet - if ever! I will post a link to the studies on consciousness so you see that it may not be possible to make a computer perceive and decide as well as humans can.
1
@Trim11 OK, here it is. If the best minds today can't even figure out what consciousness is, how can they even program it into a computer? https://youtu.be/xGbgDf4HCHU
1
@Trim11 And that is why a $500 software CANNOT beat a manned fighter - not even a $500 billion software! AI only works under very narrowly defined parameters - not the entire dynamics of the real world. Again, automated drones CANNOT replace manned fighters!
1
@Trim11 BTW, Putin just announced that Russia now has hypersonic missiles that can go 10,000 kph. Along with the F-22, U.S. ICBMs have been rendered obsolete.
1
@Trim11 The Program Manager of DARPA's Strategic Technology Office admitted, "AI showed its amazing dogfighting skill consistently beating a human pilot in this limited environment,” Key words: "LIMITED ENVIRONMENT", as I said! U.S. hypersonic is SLOWER than Russian by less than half. Again, we no longer have the monopoly on advanced weapons.

@Trim11 You'll see...just like the Tesla FSD slamming into a truck because it looked like an overhead road sign. Or it slams into a stationary car on a highway because it doesn't expect cars on a highway to be stationary. The real world is very dynamic and unpredictable. As such, it requires cognition, not just algorithms. If something (or a new combination of things) occurs that the programmer never anticipated, the AI won't be able to make sense and respond. You can experience that right on this app where it deletes benign posts just because certain words were used and the algorithm identify it as offensive when it is not. AI is really A.S. for "Artificial Stupidity"
1
@Trim11 If you put an AI drone that can pull 30g against a manned F-16 that can only pull barely 6g, off course the drone will win! But if the drone encounters scenarios not programmed into its system, it will not be able to respond (like the supposed state-of-the-art Tesla FSD that slammed into trucks). Ever realize why Elon Musk kept delaying the full release of Tesla's FSD? Or why Uber sold their self driving car unit? Elon admitted recently that FSD is much harder than he thought. I know because I own the Tesla Model X with autopilot. Admittedly, it's not FSD but it failed to detect a car going parallel to mine when I turn it on while the car besides mine is already there. Why not? That's the simplest thing yet it will drive right into the car besides mine if I tell it to change lane. Again, if the scenario is not pre-programmed, AI cannot reason it out and determine what is going on. In contrast, a human could draw upon past similar scenarios to make sense of what we see even if we never saw it before. Indeed, even an animal knows. In the Tesla example, even a squirrel knows to dodge an object even if it doesn't know what a truck is. As the years pass, you will see that AI will not be much closer to self driving in difficult conditions or dog fighting in a real war. That is why the USAF 6th Gen fighter is still primarily a manned fighter.
1
@Trim11 Real pilots could pull 30g? Where did you get that from? Don't feel sorry for me - I got my Tesla essentially for free because I made some money in Tesla stocks. They can tout how advanced AI is all they want but the bottom line is that there is yet to be FSD cars on the road today. But companies from Tesla to Waymo had promised us that it would be out for years now. At least there are over a million Teslas on the road all over the world collecting real world data from real drivers and not under experimental conditions driven by computer engineers. But no matter how much data they collected and/or how much memory or speed they increased the AI system, FSD is still not ready for the real world. Only time will tell but my guess is AI will NEVER have the cognitive ability to do anything beyond narrowly defined situations. Sure, we'll get autonomous busses and cargo trucks on dedicated lanes but not FSD cars under all conditions. And forget about the added dimension required in fighter jers. To do that requires consciousness and consciousness is NOT the result of computations. In fact, science doesn't know where consciousness came from. They now know the brain does NOT produce consciousness anymore than your cell phone produces information that you googled.

@Trim11 I was talking about the real world. In a war in the real world, an electromagnetic bomb would knock out all remote communications and control. Without a radio link to the pilot sitting outside the drone, the drone will not know what to do anymore. A manned fighter will still be able to carry out his mission.
1
@Trim11 Senator Roger Wicker already suggested that the U.S. use nukes to stop Russia from invading Ukraine. So, yes that is a very real possibility in the next war.
1
@Trim11 I'm saying algorithm will NOT allow AI to do anything beyond narrowly defined and unchanging situations under experimental conditions, not the real world. I don't think you realize how difficult creating a viable AI is. It's probably not possible because intelligence is not the result of algorithmic computations.

@Trim11 Back to the original subject of this thread, the UAE today said they are suspending talks on buying F-35s - a deal worth $23 billion. Instead, they are looking at China's offerings. Why would they do that if U.S. Fighters are the best in the world? My prediction: the U.S. will retaliate against them in some way....probably starting with the bioweapon already circulating.
1
@Trim11 Man, you are so gullible! When it comes to politics, you need to realize to never listen to what authorities say but look at what they do. Just like my example with the F-22 - on the one hand, U.S. officials brag how advanced it is but on the other decided to retire it early. I guess you don't know that Saudi Arabia had been working with China to accept the Yuan for their oil instead of the Dollar. They have also been complaining about U.S. Patriot missiles failing to stop drone attacks of their oil fields. Now they are hesitant on the F-35 deal. What does that tell you? Regarding the AI drone, imagine this very real scenario that could occur in the next several years: China decided to take Taiwan by force. U.S. aircraft carrier fleet detected Chinese fighter-bomber approaching Taiwan, so they launched AI drones to intercept. While the drones closed in on the Chinese Fighters, they received orders to seize pursuit and loiter to wait for further instructions. The drones do not know the reason nor can they think of why. They just stop pursuing the Chinese Fighters and loiter. Just then, an EMP went off and the drones no longer can receive orders from the ground so they keep loitering until the signal is re-established or run out of gas (Fighters only have about 2 hours worth of flight time). Meanwhile, a Chinese hypersonic missile hit the beach of Taiwan and blew up all defensive positions. Hundreds of Chinese amphibious craft carrying thousands of Chinese troops approach the now exposed beach. If manned fighters were sent instead of drones, the pilots would see what is going on from the sky and made the command decision to engage ground targets and stop the beach invasion. Drones would still be loitering waiting for further instructions. They cannot see what's going on and assess to make decisions. They do not have the cognitive ability. That is what I've been trying to get you to understand. It's not the dog fight itself but what goes on before, during, and after that potential dog fight. Things change very quickly during a war and that requires the cognitive ability of a human.

@Trim11 Just want you to know that I spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and have sat in high level meetings with 4 star generals discussing changing scenarios such as what I just told you. What's your military experience - Call of Duty video game? One thing I learned is that the real world is nothing like a video game that you talk about. As General Colin Powell used to say, you can have a plan but once shit hits the fan, your plan goes out the window. Then what?

@Trim11 Military people may appear closed-minded but in fact we are very practical people who must deal with real-world practical situations. And we bring up real scenarios that the nerds have a hard time seeing because all they do is sit behind a computer and dream up lofty unproven ideas. Things MUST work on the battlefield whether it's a new weapon system or new strategy is all I am saying. If we military people were so anti-tech, you wouldn't see high tech weapons in our arsenals at all. We welcome high tech weaponry but AI is still too primitive to fully replace human fighter jocks. And knowing what I know about perception and cognition, AI perhaps never will.

@Trim11 But the dynamic real world REQUIRES thinking!
1
@Trim11 LoL....ok, Monday morning Quarterback. I suggest you join the military and gain some real world experience so you can see for yourself how difficult it really is. Talk is cheap - anyone can do it. Even during a battle that lasts only a few hours, things change so fast you must think on your feet and anticipate what could occur. Then adjust your anticipation as new information arise in real time. Then execute based on what you know at that split second moment. That requires cognition.
