Russia says it's planning to build a new fighter jet that would be more advanced than the newest American models.
The so-called sixth-generation fighter jet “will most likely be pilotless,” former Russian air force chief Pyotr Deinekin told the state news agency RIA Novosti this week — even though Russia has yet to develop a fifth-generation fighter jet.
Sixth-generation fighters are expected to use energy weapons such as lasers and microwaves and be stealthier than current military aircraft.
Deinekin's remarks came before the International Air and Space Salon (MAKS), one of the world's biggest airshows, taking place near Moscow this week.
