 ‼️🚨🇨🇳 UPDATE China’s groundbreaking 6th gen stealth fighter takes flight: How it could be a 'super weapon' that could alter global power dynamics

The emergence of China’s new stealth fighter jet, believed to be a 6th-generation model, has caused a stir in military circles globally. The J-36, which made its first appearance in a video circulating on social media, was seen flying in broad daylight over Chengdu, Sichuan province. The aircraft's design and capabilities suggest it may represent a significant shift in aerial dominance, posing a potential threat to global military powers, especially in the Indo-Pacific region.

While the J-36 is still in its early testing phase, its potential to be a formidable opponent in the skies is clear, especially when paired with the growing fleet of J-20s. If deployed along the India-China border, this stealth fighter could pose an unprecedented threat to India’s aerial defences, which currently rely on the Rafale jets and older fleets.

Unconventional Design and Advanced Features

The J-36 features a striking tailless triangular configuration, designed to significantly reduce its radar signature and enhance its stealth capabilities. This unique design allows it to potentially evade detection by conventional radar systems, making it harder to track and intercept. The jet's ability to fly at high altitudes over extended distances could give it the upper hand in operations far from its base, with a substantial reduction in reliance on tanker support.

One of the most notable features of the J-36 is its three-engine configuration, believed to be powered by WS-10C turbofan engines. This configuration is designed for high-speed and high-altitude operations, enabling the aircraft to cover long ranges without the need for aerial refuelling. The larger size of the J-36 is also speculated to offer greater fuel capacity, increased payload, and more space for advanced weapons and sensors, making it suitable for a variety of combat and reconnaissance missions.

1994_Fairchild_Air_Force_Base_B-52_crash

On Friday, 24 June 1994, a  United States Air Force  (USAF)  Boeing B-52 Stratofortress  crashed at  Fairchild Air Force Base ,  Washington , United States, [ 2 ]  after its pilot,  Lieutenant Colonel  Arthur "Bud" Holland, maneuvered the bomber beyond its operational limits and lost control. The aircraft  stalled , fell to the ground and exploded, killing Holland and the other three crew aboard. The crash was captured on video and was shown repeatedly on news broadcasts throughout the world. The subsequent investigation concluded that the crash was attributable primarily to three factors: Holland's personality and behavior, USAF leaders' delayed or inadequate reactions to earlier incidents involving Holland, and the sequence of events during the aircraft's final flight. The crash is now used in military and civilian aviation environments as a  case study  in teaching  crew resource management . It is also often used by th...

🚨SpaceX’s Starship test flight ends in failure after spacecraft is destroyed

  Rocket’s six engines appeared to shut down one after another after nearly nine minutes, while booster returned SpaceX launched its Starship rocket on its latest test flight Thursday, but the spacecraft was destroyed following a thrilling booster catch back at the pad. Elon Musk’s company said the spacecraft’s six engines appeared to shut down one by one, with contact lost just 8min 30sec into the flight. “We did lose all communications with the ship – that is essentially telling us we had an anomaly with the upper stage,” SpaceX communications manager Dan Huot said, confirming minutes later that the ship was lost. The spacecraft was supposed to soar across the Gulf of Mexico from Texas on a near loop around the world similar to previous test flights. SpaceX had packed it with 10 dummy satellites for practice at releasing them. It was the first flight of this new and upgraded spacecraft. The SpaceX mishap caused widespread disruptions to air traffic. At Miami international airport...

Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

  Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated globally in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world's fastest jet-propelled aircraft. The Blackbird's performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War. This Blackbird accrued about 2,800 hours of flight time during 24 years of active service with the U.S. Air Force. On its last flight, March 6, 1990, Lt. Col. Ed Yeilding and Lt. Col. Joseph Vida set a speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds, averaging 3,418 kilometers (2,124 miles) per hour. At the flight's conclusion, they landed at Washington-Dulles International Airport and turned the airplane over to the Smithsonian.
