US’ F-47 fighter jet: In a significant move towards air superiority, President Donald Trump recently announced plans for the US military to induct a sixth generation of fighter jets called F 47s. The President announced that the next generation aircraft is being built by Boeing and a toned-down version of the fighter jet will be available to the allies of the United States. To everyone’s surprise, reports have it that US may have got the first buyer of the  next generation F-47 fighter jet only in a few months time.

About F-47 fighter jet

“The F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built,” President Trump said in remarks from the Oval Office, flanked by Secretary of State Pete Hegseth and top military general, as per a report by news agency IANS.

“We’ve had the F 15. We have had the F 16, the F 18, the F 22, the F 35, and now we have the F 47 which sends a very direct, clear message to our allies, that we’re not going anywhere, and to our enemies, that we can, we will be able to project power around the globe unimpeded for generations to come”, Secretary of Defence Hegseth was quoted as saying in the report.

US offers F-47 fighter jet to Japan

Talking about the possible buyer, a report from the the Eurasian Times has indicated that Japan may consider adding sixth-generation fighter jets to its fleet if the US offers the F-47 fighter jet. Moreover, as per a report by  Asahi Shimbun, the US President offered the F-47 to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba last month during a phone call.

Hinting towards the reports, the US President has said that, “Our allies are calling constantly. They want to buy them also. And we will be selling (them to) certain allies, perhaps toned-down versions. We would like to tone them down about 10 per cent which probably makes sense, because someday, maybe they’re not our allies.”
