Likely there will be no such thing as a 6th gen fighter jet. The pilot will be replaced by AI, so the next gen will have completely different requirements.
I don’t think the “pilot will be replaced by AI”. I think there will just be drones that look nothing like fighter jets. Some might have a certain amount of autonomy, which is vaguely similar to “AI”. Others will be controlled remotely. Still others will probably be a mix, like a swarm that’s human-controlled but where the individual drones in the swarm are somewhat autonomous.
There’s no way remote-controlled drones are going to be top-shelf items in the next generation. Even now, comm interference pretty much prohibits the use of remote-controlled drones in any scenario which involves actual armies rather than shepherds with AKs. That’s why Ukraine uses fiberoptic cables for their FPV drones. Beyond that, in a real war satellite constellations will go down real fast.
I don’t think we know what the next war is going to be like. Yes, radio interference is a major challenge with the current generation, but there are already partial work-arounds like fiber.
Yeah, it’s unlikely that the next generation will be 100% remote controlled with no local autonomy because that requires a high bandwidth. But systems with a moderate amount of autonomy might be fine.

Fighter jets running on fiber?
Huh?
