Has China launched its new sixth-generation heavy stealth jet?
Reports claim that these tests took initiation from the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) factory airfield, and these videos of the unseen jet went viral within minutes of it circulating on social media. Meanwhile, this would mean that there is now increased pressure on America's sixth-gen program in the coming days as the details regarding the exact identity and specifications of the Chinese fighter jet will remain a mystery for now, making it a major security threat for US and China's enemy nations.
