Wild Iron | NEW Brand Japanese 6th Generation Fighter Jet Shocked Russia and China @Wild_Iron | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
There’s no debate about it, the nation that will rule the skies of tomorrow must have a sixth-generation fighter. Japan wants to be that nation. Backed by a $4.3 trillion economy, the fourth largest in the world, Japan is investing the heaviest of resources to bring their sixth-generation fighter to life even if that means raising the legendary YF-23 from the dead. The YF-23 was a fighter ahead of time, so ahead of its time that it was misunderstood enough to be thrown in the graveyard. But now it is back to tell its tale and help Japan wield a sixth-generation fighter. To understand why the YF-23 is the fighter of choice of the hundreds of fighters built in history, we must travel back to where it all began; the face off between the YF-23 and the F-22 Raptor.
