Military What actually is "cutting edge" tech?
I just found out that that the B2, F-35 and F-22 were all developed over the course of the 80s and 90s which is a full 20 years behind of when I thought these things were being developed. So naturally the question has become "if we were working on 6th generation aircraft in the 80's what are we making now?
Sorry if this isnt the right place to ask idk where else too.
