    China’s 6th gen fighters are further along than the US’s F-47

    How many of these china has? Speculated further development of fighters that aren’t operative yet is a better metric to compare war power than US outclassing any other country in military spending for decades?

    The US is not destroying Russia

    USA pretty much defeated russia in the cold war and they are slowly finishing them as you can see today.

      Information on quantities is minimal, but from what we know China is further along and these fighters have been spotted. Spending in China goes a lot farther thsn it does in the US.

      The USSR dissolved, yes, that doesn’t mean the US is destroying the Russian Federation.

        USA has plenty of classified weapons we are not talking about. We are comparing assets we know of that already exists and that can be used to wage war today.

          Sure, so from what we do know China is ahead of the US in productive capacity and relatively equal in tech, slightly behind in some areas and ahead in others.

          Wunderwaffen made by silicon valley startups, i guess. About as useful and money-efficient as a 10000$ trash can.
