China’s likely 6th generation stealth fighter takes flight; India faces rising aerial threat near borders
A video showcasing a new Chinese stealth fighter jet, possibly a 6th-generation strike aircraft, has surfaced on social media, reported NDTV.
The innovative, tail-less design could make it nearly undetectable by conventional radar systems.
Once operational, these stealth fighters could pose a significant challenge along India's borders.
India, which has no stealth fighter jets, currently counters China's J-20 stealth fighters with its fleet of 36 Rafale aircraft.

In May, satellite images had surfaced, revealing China's deployment of J-20 stealth fighters within 150 km of the India-China boundary in Sikkim.
Shigatse, where the J-20s have been seen, is located approximately 290 km from Hasimara in West Bengal, home to India's second Rafale squadron.
The Chengdu J-20, also called the Mighty Dragon, entered service in 2017.
Reports suggest China may have as many as 250 J-20 jets, known for their radar-evading capabilities.
