On December 27, 2024, Hindustan Times (India) published a video report containing viral footage reportedly showing China's new “Tailless” 6th-gen stealth jets. The report also contained speculation about China’s intentions vis-à-vis Taiwan.
Notably, Chinese stealth fighters constitute a strategic threat to India, with the Indian media outlet NDTV having stated: “The large tailless fighter is believed to be a strike aircraft. Its unconventional design may make the new stealth fighter jet difficult, if not impossible, to detect using conventional radars. When inducted, these Chinese stealth fighter jets would likely become an unprecedented threat along India's frontiers. India does not have a stealth fighter jet yet.”
