The US Air force recently revealed that the sixth-generation fighter jet has entered the development stage

This means the airforce has initiated the process of engineering and manufacturing one of -if not the most powerful fighter jet ever.

No details have emerged about what it will look like or its features, due to it being classified.

But there has been a lot of speculation amongst defense analysts.

The only facts we have from the US Air force about the next-generation fighter is that they will include new weapons, sensor systems, and a number of drones accompanying the aircraft on missions.

And they’re expected to be ready by 2030.

The sixth-generation fighter will become one of the core weapons of the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance or NGAD systems.

The US Air force announced plans for the new fighter jet in 2020 saying it intends to build a prototype.

Despite reports of progress on the program, the aircraft manufacturer is yet to be announced.

Speaking to the Defence Post, Aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia says that the main contenders are Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman.

Hopefully we’ll be provided with more information in the coming months about the new fighter jet program.

Until then, we can only speculate what the US Airforce is developing.

Zelenskiy blames Moscow for stalling Geneva peace talks; negotiations to resume amid unresolved eastern territory and nuclear power plant disputes.

Two days of high-stakes negotiations in Geneva have ended without a breakthrough, as Ukraine and Russia failed to reach an agreement on key issues in the ongoing war. Despite international pressure, both sides walked away without a deal.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Moscow of deliberately stalling United States-mediated peace efforts, while Russia signalled it would not accept terms it sees as unfavourable. The White House says further talks are expected.

Major sticking points remain over territory in eastern Ukraine and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with both sides rejecting proposals that would involve significant territorial concessions.

Iran strengthens military and nuclear sites amid US carrier presence, escalating fears of confrontation and internal dissent pressure.

Iran is ramping up military readiness as tensions with the United States intensify, with Tehran fortifying key nuclear sites and reviewing defence strategies amid the deployment of U.S. aircraft carriers in the region. Leaders in the Islamic Republic say they are prepared to respond to any imposed conflict, signalling a high-stakes standoff that could reshape regional security dynamics.

At the same time, the regime faces mounting domestic discontent, with security forces cracking down on dissent and carrying out widespread arrests following recent protests. While Iran insists it has made concessions toward a nuclear deal, Washington says key demands remain unmet, leaving negotiations in limbo and the country’s political future under strain.
