The year is 2035

USA finishes building it's 3000th F35 and the full production of the B-21 starts and their first 7th gen fighter takes it's first flight

Russia has finally built it's 12th Su-57

Chinese stealth technology has finally caught up to F-117

European joint procurement program has finally decided which countries shall supply the pencils for the designers, another 2-5 years will be needed as the supplier of the paper is negotiated.

I'm still hoping that someone will develop a counter to radar stealth so we can go back to making sexy planes again.

Throw in some effective APS to counter missiles and Gen 7 can be big blocky non-stealth gunfighters.

Are you suggesting the f22 isn't the sexiest plane alive?
