US Military Times's video: U S Air Force Build New 4 5 Generation Stealth Fighter Jet To Replace F-16 Fighting Falcon

U.S. Air Force Build New 4.5 Generation Stealth Fighter Jet To Replace F-16 Fighting Falcon The U.S Air Force is thinking about buying a brand new fighter jet to partially replace the F-16 Fighting Falcon. While the service was once committed to replacing the F-16 with the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, it appears to be having second thoughts, as the cost of the latter jet remains sky-high. The new plane will likely lack the stealth of the F-35, but could pack many of its other features. The Air Force is launching a study into what mix of tactical aircraft the service should field in the 2020s, Air Force Chief of Staff C.Q. Brown recently said at a media event, per Breaking Defense. The study should be complete by 2023. The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. The massive THANKS YOU to everyone for watching and all of your support! Related Topics:
