China's 6th-generation fighter jets: Gamechanger or Propaganda? Should India Be Concerned?

On December 26, 2024, China reached a major milestone by quietly unveiling its sixth-generation stealth fighters during their inaugural test flights over Sichuan. These advanced aircraft, believed to be sixth-generation, feature groundbreaking designs, including three engines, tailless configurations, and diamond-shaped structures. This marks a significant step in China's quest for military self-sufficiency, complementing its ongoing production of J-10, J-11, J-16, and J-20 jets. With this development, China claimes to have outpaced the U.S. in the arms race. But is this a global game-changer, or does it present a new global threat? Where does India stand in the face of this shift? To unpack these questions and provide an in-depth analysis of China’s revolutionary fighter jets, Foreign Affairs Editor Dr. Swasti Rao hosts a compelling discussion with retired Group Captain Ajay Ahlawat, a military veteran with 28+ years of experience as a former IAF fighter pilot who has flown both Russian and Western aircraft. Joining the conversation is ThePrint’s Defense Editor, Snehesh Alex Philip, offering sharp insights into the global and regional implications of this development. Together, they delve into the technical, strategic, and geopolitical dimensions of China’s advancements in airpower. #china #stealth #fighterjet #chineseairforce You can watch the full episode of CutTheClutter: Parliament defence panel on IAF crashes, shortage of fighters & pilots; Army’s spending struggles, here:    • Parliament defence panel on IAF crash...   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction (0:00 - 1:48) Overview of the discussion on China's sixth-generation fighter aircraft and India's challenges.
