mozda ce stvarno biti ono iz posta iznad. manji avion, napakovan najnovijim tehnologijom koji ce u slucaju potrebe da se dopunjuje gorivom u vazduhu preko dronova.
amer je izgleda ukapirao, da su i brojevi vazni, a ni finansije nisu za zanemarivanje pa je bolje imati brojniju flotu, od one od 200 vrhunskih i preskupih aviona.

The NGAD Fighter Could Be Redesigned to Cost Less Than the F-35
One of the goals appears to be the mass, as the Air Force is looking to have a larger fleet of cheaper aircraft, rather than a small fleet of very expensive ones. “The more the airplane costs, the fewer you’re going to have. Numbers do matter,” noted Kendall.

According to the official comments, the Air Force will take advantage of the NGAD pause to go back to the origins of NGAD and reassess the requirements and how they can be met efficiently.

Mornarica bi uskoro trebalo da odluci kojoj kompaniji ce dati ugovor za njihov F/A-XX.

The Navy expects to award a contract for its next-generation, carrier-based fighter and expects the long-range attack jet to enter service in the 2030s, its top officer said Oct. 2.

“We expect that sixth-generation platform to be able to have advanced sensors, advanced lethality, advanced range, and being able to integrate with manned and unmanned capabilities together,” said Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti. “That’s one of the things, as we learn from the Air Force and the work they’re doing, to integrate that with what we know that we need to be able to do.”

The Navy will soon decide between competitors Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. “We have three companies that have provided proposals for that and we’re actually in source selection right now,” Franchetti told reporters at a Defense Writers Group event.

Franchetti’s commitment to the program, referred to as F/A-XX for now, comes as the Air Force is reevaluating its future combat jet, the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) aircraft, with a rapid analysis over the course of the next three months.

Air Force leaders have indicated they would prefer a less-costly option. But making NGAD less expensive would likely mean sacrificing range and payload, which could mean opting for a single engine rather than two. Shorter range is also only possible if the Air Force also fields a stealthy Next-Generation Air-refueling System (NGAS), the Air Force’s hoped-for future tanker concept.

The Navy’s F/A-XX is meant to replace its F/A-18 Super Hornet multi-role fighters and E/A-18 Growler electronic warfare attack aircraft. It is planned to deliver greater range and possess more sensing and electronic warfare capabilities than the service’s F-35C fifth-generation fighters.

The Navy is not without budget challenges of its own, however. Earlier this year it delayed roughly $1 billion in investments for F/A-XX to focus on near-term readiness—and Congress may cut the F/A-XX budget even more. But Franchetti’s comments indicate a new crewed fighter is still a Navy priority at the very moment when the outlook for the Air Force’s next-generation fighter appears to be in limbo.
