I wonder what we have in research that Europe doesn't know about. I remember someone saying something to the effect, when one of our stealth planes went down, and he was asked if America was worried about Russia getting parts off of it, this guy replied, no....the stealth is an antique, and what we have in the barn makes that obvious. Makes me wonder....what on earth is in the barn???

Me too. It's almost enough to want to be president for a few weeks, just to find out a few things....

The Chinese already know "what's in the barn."

Compliments of Bill Clinton.

IT SEEMS CLEAR from various reports from personal friends and others that at least part of what's available is at least ostensibly from back engineering or outright technology transfers from ET's . . .

Anti-grav vehicles. Supposedly some stealth craft have dual types of propulsion/flight systems.

[to those prone to rabid remarks re such--No, thanks, I already have a container full of tinfoil hats. Start your own collection.]

A belated answer to your question...hypersonic aircraft of unbelievable capabilities. We didn't just outspend the Ruskies during the cold war, we outsped, outgunned, etc....and the only reason we never deployed the "stealth" cruise missle was that it was a true first strike weapon. The Russians are terrified at our capabilities so when push comes to shove, they will agree with whatever we do in our war, despite their protestations. The Euros are just clueless as usual.
