@LuckyDT BOP is out of date, taken over by the 45 & 47 in support of UAV. If it's not hypersonic, it's not 6th gen.

Absoutely stunning machine. Too bad this video looks like a piss poor power point presentation some guy whipped up in about 15 minutes. The 'transformation' appears as a UAV, can anyone confirm?
