Aerial Combat Platform (Part 2)

In the initial stages, America's highly publicized Loyal Wingman program revolved around the 6th generation aircraft.

A single 6th-generation fighter jet, leading a formation of stealth drones, was tasked with executing missions in tandem.

The program's combat effectiveness was so formidable that it could defeat the air forces of every nation on the planet, save for those belonging to the Five Great Powers. Any other opponent would be soundly defeated.

However, the situation has now changed.

The Loyal Wingman plan outlined in the document did not prioritize the 6th generation aircraft. Instead, it focused on what was referred to as an air combat platform.

But what exactly was this air combat platform?

That detail remained unknown.

The document did not specify, and the special department had no additional intelligence on it.
