- The U.S. defense industry wasn’t spared from the economic crunch caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Despite this, fighter jets continue to sell, and manufacturers are still seeking new markets to expand into. But the emerging disruption to the industry from unmanned aircraft and artificial intelligence has the potential to reshape the entire industry. Here’s a look at the big business of fighter jets.

Hi Alec
Why
Had a friend who worked for GE jet engines. They use weird designed screws so that even opening the engine for maintenance has to be done by GE which of course will charge them a lot for something simple. Software is even worst. Charge a few million just to change a few codes.
Can't wait for the next Lockheed Martin drop next summer. I'm looking to buy 2 F-35s
Lockheed Martin has a special at the moment... if you buy 3 then you get a free RQ-170 thrown in.
I wish I could buy a disarmed f35 or f22 because they look really fun to fly. Just imagine how fast you could fly somewhere in the world if you had one of those in a private hanger.
I heard they're opening up a new store called Build-A-Jet Workshop.

It is worth noting the F15, F16 and F18 are 70s designs still being made. The European Mirage 2000 and Tornado (also 70s design) have been out of production for years. Like it or not it is real hard to compete with the USA in jet fighters.

Popular Mechanics had a recent article on how the U.S. Air Force secretly designed, built, and tested (flew) a new fighter jet under their NGAD program. The most impressive part of the new design? It was all accomplished in "about a year". Compare that to the F-35 which was in development by Lockheed Martin for 10+.
They want more money. Delay = more money, same like any public projects. It's profitable for the contractor.
@@D_2_M I've never understood why cost over run is not negotiated to be the responsibility of the vendor and why fees (discounts) are not assessed based on any date past the agreed upon deadline in all government contracts. I assume kickbacks and government corruption, but I would also assume someone running on an anti-corruption platform would have raised the issue.
They only built and flew a test demonstrator, not even a prototype, they are sometimes built with parts from existing aircraft. with the amount of new technology that’s going to be implemented into this next generation of fighters, just because they flew a test demonstrator doesn’t mean this technology is close yet. Not to mention a new jet now could hurt F-35 sales, we’ll see a new jet when the F-35 production line is either very matured or no longer pumping out new aircraft.
"About a year." How many years ago was this? Where is it?
@@ronjon7942 Well you're commenting on a video from two years ago, so I'd say about three years now. Also I'm happy to introduce you to the concept of a search engine. With it you'll be able to perform an internet search and answer any further questions you may have.
It went 1. Rifle 2. Tank 3. Fighter jets 4. Rockets 5. Space ships
Forgot 3b) Drones.
Really enjoy the deep dives
Seems like we are really in a new era, where there is a mix of 4-4.5 gen, 5th gen, unmanned drones, and practically anything else that can shoot a smart munition within range that is data linked all working in unison. Also, seems like hacking will be a big concern in modern air warfare now. Also, electronic warfare has made great strides in staying relevant as well.
It would have been great if that kinda military spending would have been spent on poverty eradication & healthcare if human beings across the world would have maturity to cooperate with each other.
Not bad but you almost skipped Russian jets and you did skip Chinese jets.
Chinese jets are obsolete,just like their products

@Socially Inept really! 😆what is proof🤔
It would be cool to see a mock dogfight between a top notch fighter pilot and the most advanced AI drone fighter. The drone presumably won’t have the human limitations of trying to withstand extreme g-forces and therefore could be capable of crazy maneuvers the human body could never handle.

To all the people talking about the US selling arms in conflicts: We only sell high-tech military equipment like fighter jets and air defense to allies. Yes American arms companies sell small arms in conflicts that the US gov wouldn't formally touch with a 10ft pole, but so would Russian companies or Indian companies or any company that sells arms. You see militias running around with AK-47s, not F16s. If your country has a military industry, it sells weapons that are used or are intended to be used in conflicts. If your country doesn't have an arms industry, then it buys weapons from those countries that produce them. So please, be a realist and accept the world as it is and don't live in some dream where all countries get along, or some country is evil by selling weapons because if history teaches us anything, that will never happen. There will ALWAYS be wars and conflicts, the only way to mitigate that is to have a powerful enough defense where the potential aggressor calculates the risk is too high to engage in conflict.

About the trust thing when a country buys fighters, I can think of the falklands war for exemple where France delayed Exocet delivery to prevent Argentina to get more missiles that what they currently had.
Drone technology is still far away from taking over the manned aircraft combat scenario.
But, it appears private/contract militaries would replace conventional forces much earlier than that.
The scary part is most good drone companies are from China and the scariest part is they also spending so much research on AI.

@@trungnguyenhoang6821 so can this f22 and f35 of yours. only difference would be cosmetologically
There is a reason the f22 is not for sale. It has one purpose and one purpose only... air superiority. The f22 owns any other nation in the sky. It detects and can shoot down any other aircraft before they can even be seen. The f22 will never be in a dogfight because no other aircraft will get close enough.
@Zaid Saad 15 years at least. That is being optimistic.
@Zaid Saad You are gullible.
I think the manned squadron of fighters will still be around for many decades to come. Now most of the aircraft may be unmanned drones where you might only have a half dozen people in the entire squadron. Like one flight of fighters may only have one manned fighter and the rest of the flight will be fighter drones.
All this market talk about war machines feels... Odd..
Right. The sole purpose of them is to blow people up unknowingly, typically innocent civilians.

Defending freedom ain’t cheap.
Whose freedom
It’s very simple, modern warfare requires complete and total air superiority, to control and shape the battlefield you need combinations of fighter jets, drones, gun ships, etc to provide support for ground forces and naval forces and to support strategic bombing to weaken and destroy the resolve of hostile entities. This allows you to dismantle the command and control centers of your opponent. Once achieved victory is assured if you have the political will to achieve it
« You are buying a relationship” so true, france’s rafale is much superior and cost effective than anything the us are able to offer, because this jet was designed for combat, not for allowing every Lockheed Martin representative to buy their next yacht. Yet, loads of country are actually buying US’s stuff, because it is a way to please us politicians and get some advantages. It has been years that the armament industry don’t sell fighters that are actually meeting countries need. India on the other hand has to keep up with China, that’s why they chose the rafale, and that’s why they might buy a hundred more in the year to come.
Shame they didn't mention the British Tempest currently being designed. It's been in the design phase for some time now but they'll start building them in the next decade or so. That thing will be a beast. I hope it puts the UK back on the map for all things aircraft.
