Trump Announces New U.S. Fighter Jet and Claims It Will Be the “Most Lethal Fighter in the World.” Stay Updated on Everything the U.S. President Said About the F-47, Considered a “Practically Invisible” Fighter.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on Friday (21) a billion-dollar deal with Boeing for the construction of the F-47 military fighter jet which, in his words, is the most lethal fighter ever created. The deal for the new U.S. fighter was presented during a press conference in the Oval Office. It is a “practically invisible” fighter that is named in honor of Trump himself, who is the 47th president of the country.
Agreement Closed with Boeing for the Military Fighter is Worth US$ 20 Billion
Technical details of the new U.S. fighter jet have not been disclosed and are considered state secrets. The focus is to prepare the country’s military for possible direct confrontations with China and Russia. According to the Reuters news agency, the development and manufacturing of the most lethal fighter in the world will be with Boeing, following a deal worth over US$ 20 billion, equivalent to R$ 100 billion.
The financial details have not been disclosed, with Trump stating only that the government ordered a large purchase. The president described the “practically invisible” fighter to radar as the most lethal ever developed. Furthermore, he stated: “America’s enemies will never see it coming.”

Submarine cables have ceased to be just about the internet and have become a military asset: Australia connects nuclear submarine base to Google’s digital routes while the US, China, and allies compete for the ocean floor.
According to Trump in an interview, the expectation is that the military fighter will never need to be used for that purpose, but it is important to have an aircraft like this. If that ever happens, they will not know what hit them. The new U.S. fighter jet, named F-47, named in honor of Trump, will be part of the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program.
Learn How the Most Lethal Fighter in the World Will Be
Unlike previous models from Lockheed Martin, this “practically invisible” fighter will be in partnership with Boeing. Information related to NGAD is protected by national security laws. Besides what Trump revealed at the press conference in the Oval Office, there are no details regarding the F-47 military fighter. The design and technical specifications of the aircraft are considered state security secrets.
The Secretary of the Department of Defense Pete Hegseth was also present at the press conference and spoke about the news. According to him, the U.S. now has the most lethal fighter in the world, which sends a very direct and clear message to its allies that they are not going anywhere and to its enemies that they can and will be able to project power around the world, unobstructed, for generations to come.
U.S. Air Force Responds About the “Practically Invisible” Fighter
In a statement, the U.S. Air Force stated that the F-47 will be the centerpiece of the NGAD, featuring next-generation stealth technologies, long-range strike capabilities, and sensor fusion, aiming to face the most advanced adversaries in contested environments. The new U.S. fighter will be piloted but may also operate in conjunction with drones.
Currently, the most advanced military fighter of the United States is the F-35. The model is produced in conjunction with Lockheed Martin and has been operated since 2015. The military also has the F-22, manufactured 20 years ago, also in conjunction with Lockheed Martin.
This was the first fifth-generation fighter to enter service, in order to maintain the United States’ superiority in the skies. It can also conduct ground attacks. It is also worth mentioning that the Air Force revealed last year the anticipated sixth-generation fighters, a milestone that, just like the most lethal fighter in the world, promises to completely transform the future of military aviation.
