SpaceX’s Starship can do that, and it’s only 170 feet long and cost $5 million.

An EXPENSIVE high tech fighter that will probably be shot down from some other fighter made during the cold war with upgraded technologies that can see the newer jet with a newer radar/satellite technologies, and shot down the newer fighter along ways off, basically making almost any newer jet almost obsolete from the start.

PROPAGANDA - their jets can’t do any of that, they don’t spend enough money on their military (like we do) to get those kinds of results, and neither does China.

We have NOTHING to worry about, as long as we outspend them.

Impressive! And those are gorgeous airplanes, too.

The Russians make much prettier airplanes than the Soviets did.

Just keep flipping around in one place.

That’s the trick!

That’ll work!
