An F-22 replacement in operational service in 14 years?
That means that prototypes are already flying. Like with the LRB.
To: tanknetter
Most likely. Would square with the recent enlargement of and land seizure from private landowners of Area 51 perimeter lands..............................

The Russians have already stolen copies of all the blueprints. The Chinese hackers then got the from the Russians.

As long as he F35 took, there is no way it could be produced by 2030 if they didn’t already have a prototype.

Continuing to build manned fighters is a waste.
The future is drones.

Lasers for targeting maybe. But lasers as weapons are probably more of a gimmick feature. Think bad weather, thick heavy battery, think limited electricity. Maybe they can summon Zeus so he can throw a lightning bolt at the fighter as he is shooting the laser.

It has taken 20 plus years to get an air borne laser system into a C-130 with all of its cubage and weight carrying capability.
Into a fighter that hasn’t even into 3D mockup yet in 15 years. That’s some really good shit they have! Can I have some, please?

What kind of “laser weapon?” They’d need a power supply the size of the aircraft to cut or blow something up. Where are all the ground based “laser weapons?”
Incedently, Grumman is now run by affirmative action losers because our government insisted it be made so.
