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.

Israel expands military strikes in Lebanon

Israel has widened its military operations in Lebanon, launching a deadly airstrike in the northern region. The attack, which targeted a house sheltering displaced families, killed at least 21 people, leaving eight others injured, according to health officials. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble for survivors.

This shift marks a significant escalation, as Israel had previously focused its strikes on the south, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s outskirts. Meanwhile, millions of Israelis are taking cover from cross-border rocket fire as the violence intensifies. Israel has also ordered the evacuation of 25 villages in southern Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue targeting Hezbollah “without mercy,” even extending operations to Beirut. In eastern Lebanon, civilians like Jalal Ferhat and his family have fled toward the Syrian border in a desperate attempt to escape the worsening conflict.
