China has published images of a new unmanned fighter invisible “Dark sword” (Dark Sword). Photos of the supersonic drone show that Beijing is too close to dropping the US from a leading position in military aviation.

According to Justin Bronk, an expert of the Royal Institute of armed forces for the study of defense and security (Royal United Services Institute), which is familiar with the photos of the drone, “Dark sword” is a completely different design philosophy than the developed UAV in the United States. The expert believes that this aircraft is optimized for fast supersonic flight, not for maximum stealth, and can give China a great advantage in the confrontation with the United States.
