The world's first combat aircraft of the sixth generation appeared in the arsenal of the PRC of the PRC.

More recently, the Fifth Generation Fighter Chengdu J-20 appeared in the arsenal of the Air Force of the People's Republic of China, which in its capabilities is quite comparable with the Russian Su-57 fighter and the American F-35 fifth generation fighter. Despite this fact, a few days ago, there was a photo of the unmanned Chinese fighter "Dark Sword", and analysts were forced to recognize him not as an ordinary shock drone, but as the newest unmanned fighter of the sixth generation.

In fact, an unmanned fighter is presented on a previously unveiled photo, however, in the early stages of the Dark Sword project, the possibility of combining unmanned and manned versions was considered, and therefore the arguments of experts can be fully justified.

Specialists of The Military Watch Magazine decided to explain why the Chinese unmanned, and in the future this also applies to the manned version, is the 6-generation fighter.

"The Chinese unmanned fighter is vulnerable to electronic warfare, but it has a number of advantages, including high maneuverability, which is very dangerous for fighter pilots. "Dark Sword" is likely to be armed with the best Chinese missiles and will be able to fly several times faster than the speed of sound, which makes it a serious threat ", - says the publication.

On the other hand, it is important to realize that assigning an unmanned fighter "Dark Sword" to the aircraft of the sixth generation is conditional, since the requirements to them have not yet been presented, but experts point to the fact that, in the worst case, the Chinese development claims a generation 5 +.
