China announced the creation of a hypersonic fighter

The first combat aircraft, capable of developing hypersonic speed, will be in service with the PRC.

The Chinese news publication Sina published an article in which it is told that the newest unmanned fighter "The Dark Sword", which has already been ranked as a sixth generation aircraft, will be able to develop hypersonic speed. According to the publication, the unmanned aerial vehicle shown a few weeks ago is nothing more than a prototype on the basis of which over the next few years it is planned to create the perfect model of an unmanned and, subsequently, manned combat aircraft capable of developing hypersonic speed.

As the author of the article emphasizes, the "Dark Sword" fighter will be able to accelerate to the speed of 6500 km / h. However, speech is most likely about short-term acceleration to this speed, allowing to make a breakthrough through the enemy's air defense system, ie ., acceleration to hypersound will be available only in forced mode.

Given the information provided by the publication "Sina", at the moment the main problem for developers is the process of creating an engine that allows to develop hypersonic speed, but this problem is expected to be solved within the next two years, and to complete all tests of the hypersonic fighter by 2025.

It should be clarified that many independent analysts include the unmanned fighter "Dark Sword" ("The Dark Sword") to the aircraft of the sixth generation, which is due to the transition to computer control of this aircraft.

But Ukraine suffers for some reason
