You should basically enjoy announcements by Donald Trump with caution. Regardless of whether it is about tariffs, prohibitions from platforms such as Tiktok or Memecoins. It is no different with fighter jets, but the F-47, which is advertised by Trump as the “most fatal fighter plane in the world”, should actually exist-albeit at an early stage. This is to be made by Boeing and withdrawn at the end of the Trump Presidency-that’s what you want at least in Washington. Unsurprisingly, competitor Lockheed-Martin has now spoken and tries to upgrade the F-35 to the US armed forces: it should be effective, invisible and fatal. Oh yes, and do without pilots.
