The United States Navy's secretive new fighter jet, known as the FA-XX, is reportedly ready for deployment after years of development in response to China's growing military capabilities. The FA-XX boasts advanced stealth features, a long operational range, and the ability to lead drones into combat, making it a significant upgrade over current carrier-based aircraft. Despite successful prototype tests by major defense contractors, the Pentagon has delayed the final selection and procurement, raising concerns among lawmakers about falling behind China in military technology. With China rapidly expanding its carrier fleet and developing its own stealth aircraft, there is increasing pressure on President Donald Trump to accelerate the decision and ensure the Navy maintains its strategic edge in the Pacific.
