Wake up, America. China just flew not one but two new stealth fighter planes. All while America’s next fighter is on hold.

“They could beat us to the punch,” admitted outgoing Air Force procurement official Andrew Hunter. “It is my sincere hope this got America’s attention,” Air Force Chief of Staff General David Allvin told Breaking Defense on Jan. 17.

China released videos of the two new planes in flight on Dec. 26, which so happens to be the birthdate of revolutionary Communist leader Mao Zedong.

These two aircraft should send chills across the defense industrial base. China’s rising airpower is the biggest threat in the Pacific since World War II. Losing air dominance over the Pacific to these Chinese fighters simply can’t happen.
