U.S. President Donald Trump announced in the Oval Office on Friday, March 21 that the latest U.S. air power advancements.
The president said the U.S. Air Force is advancing after his instructions, “the world’s first sixth-generation fighter jet,” currently developed by Boeing.
Not only did he stop there, he also named the aircraft F-47, and the 47-year-old said his status as the 47th president of the United States.
Speaking in a briefing with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the U.S. leader declared: “Nothing in the world can get close to it.”
Trump described the F-47 as “the most advanced, capable, and deadly aircraft ever made,” adding that it was “almost invisible.”
He revealed that an experimental version had been secretly running away for nearly five years, “much surpassing the capabilities of other countries.”
Trump asserted that the enemy of the United States “never see it coming”, adding: “Hopefully we don’t have to use it. But if it happens, they won’t know exactly what attacked them.”
However, the president did not disclose the cost of the aircraft, pointing out that doing so would reveal its size and technical specifications.
He also mentioned that some allies expressed interest in buying fighter jets, but confirmed that the version would not be sold to any country.
“We’re going to lower them by about 10%, which may make sense because one day they may not be our ally,” Trump said.
Defense Secretary Heggs said in his speech.
“We have F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, F-25, and now we have F-47,” he said.
Hegseth added that the F-47 sent a clear message to our allies that we will not go anywhere and that our enemies will be able to project power globally, to the point of coming generations. ”
