US spending huge amount of money on this deadly fighter jet, announces budget of Rs…, to give tough competition to China J-36, J-50, it is capable of…., name is..
The United States has always been determined to remain the world's leading military and technology superpower. It will never allow China to become a superpower, especially with sophisticated defense technology. As tensions escalate and China intensifies its military capabilities, specifically with air combat systems, the U.S. has started to fight back. In a bold move to stay ahead of China in the development of air combat systems, the Trump administration committed significant funding toward the F-47 sixth-generation fighter—a next-generation aircraft that will rule the skies for decades to come. The advanced jet will be developed under the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, which aims to keep the U.S. well ahead of advancements like the J-36 and J-50 by China. On June 10, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke to Congress and described the F-47 project as 'decisive for future wars,' highlighting that this investment is not simply a technological effort, but a key pillar of national security. This bold move comes in direct response to China's recent developments with its air power, particularly advancements in fighter jets like the J-36 and J-50. The message is unmistakable, in the coming years, air dominance will be critical to all balance in international geopolitics. The F-47 is being developed as a genuine sixth-generation fighter — not just any fighter, but a 'smart warrior' in the air. This is like a flying supercomputer, built to think faster and smarter than anyone else. The contract has been awarded by the United States to Boeing, and the F-47 will be the next iteration after the F-22 Raptor. It has a major design emphasis on reduced radar cross section (stealth), next-gen adaptive-cycle engine technologies for increased range and speed while denying enemy radar through a combination of flying characteristics, several levels of AI-assisted functionality, and other stealth technology. What's really exciting is Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) capabilities. The joint operations of F-47 and autonomous drones that act as 'wingmen,' are intended to operate [as separate mission sets — surveillance, electronic warfare — or surgical strikes.] In short, the F-47 will not just be a fighter jet; it will be a fighter squadron all by itself, and a force multiplier. The main motivation for the U.S. developing its sixth-generation fighter jet is to keep China from achieving air superiority at all costs. Intelligence reports indicate that China's new advanced jets, the J-36 and J-50, have already begun flight training programs by late 2024. It is currently multi-role reconnaissance in flight. Reports suggest that the J-36 has a tri-jet configuration, a tailless double delta wing design, and weight capacity to operate in distance. The J-36 has not only stealth technology, but may also have electronic warfare and possibly laser defense. The J-50 has thrust vectoring engines and compact design suitable for carriers, making it deployable on the next generation of Chinese aircraft carriers. The F-47 fighter is being deliberately built for A2/AD (Anti-Access/Area Denial) conditions—areas with enemy air defense systems so effective that traditional manned aircraft can't even get there. The F-47 will be armed with stealth capabilities, AI-enabled decision making, and supercruise capability. The F-47 will be able penetrate complex hostile A2/AD environments, and blow stuff up close up. Our fusion engine will enable longer ranges, faster speeds, and better thermal management. This means it can fly further using less fuel, thus avoiding radar detection, and make better decisions faster in combat. In important areas like the Indo-Pacific region, the F-47 will give the U.S. military a distinct advantage against China in their ability to provide forward basing and power projection, which is necessary in ensuring dominance.

Trump issues 'take it or leave it' tariff letters to 12 nations as July 9 deadline nears
So far, the Trump administration has unveiled deals with the United Kingdom and Vietnam, while Washington and Beijing agreed to temporarily lower staggeringly high levies on each other's products read more US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that he has signed letters addressed to 12 countries, dubbed 'take it or leave it', outlining the new tariff measures ahead of the July 9 deadline that will lift the 90-day pause on retaliatory tariffs. The letters will be sent to the recipients as early as Monday. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on his way to New Jersey for American Independence Day, Trump said, 'I signed some letters and they'll go out on Monday, probably twelve. Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs.' The president, however, refused to mention the countries the letters will be sent. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In April, Trump announced a 10 per cent base tariff on most imports to the US, with rates potentially rising to 50 per cent for specific countries. These higher tariffs were paused for 90 days to allow negotiations, but the suspension is scheduled to end on July 9. How are trade talks going so far? As for India, Union Minister of Commerce and Trade Piyush Goyal has said that it will not sign a trade deal based on a timeline, but set its own terms to negotiate an agreement. Earlier, sources had told News18 that the India-US trade deal will conclude in the next few days as an Indian delegation has returned from Washington after holding high-level talks with officials from the Trump administration. So far, the Trump administration has unveiled deals with the United Kingdom and Vietnam, while Washington and Beijing agreed to temporarily lower staggeringly high levies on each other's products. Meanwhile, the US and Japan may not reach a trade deal at all, as Trump had said earlier this week, 'We've dealt with Japan. I'm not sure if we're gonna make a deal, I doubt it, with Japan. They and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years that it's really hard for them to make a deal.' With inputs from agencies
