The Sandboxx gets some good info on classified programs. They actually wrote an article explaining why they publish stuff that many think spill secrets the US should not spill.

AMERICA’S NGAD FIGHTER MIGHT ACTUALLY BE NOTHING LIKE YOU THINK

America’s Next Generation Air Dominance, or NGAD, fighter program is continuing to mature behind a veil of classified funding, but tantalizing details about this program have emerged in recent months, bringing some of its groundbreaking aspects into full view. And if what we’ve been hearing about this new family of systems can be believed, the NGAD program will usher in a significant shift in the way America approaches air dominance. In fact, the resulting aircraft might even look more like a bomber than a fighter.
The NGAD won’t replace the F-22 fighter for fighter
The F-35 is expected to fly for more than 50 years. The NGAD won’t last anything close to that long.

The Air Force wants new fighters every 10-15 years

It won’t be a banner program for one firm like Lockheed Martin’s F-35 or Northrop Grumman’s B-21
The NGAD fighter might be a lot bigger and heavier than you’d think


America’s new “fighter” could actually be more of a “mother ship,” tasking highly capable drone wingmen with various objectives and building upon the F-35’s “quarterback in the sky” mentality, rather than F-22’s dogfighting dominance.


They may trade maneuverability for range. Think China and its AD/A2 capabilities. Plus it will control a swarm of drones for the dogfight.
