Utter nonsense. There has been no passive stealth versus “active” stealth revolution nor any reliable indication that the “digital century series” concept involved any meaningful abandonment of the need for low observability in next generation fighters.All USAF and US Navy 6th generation manned fighters are going to be designed for low observability characteristics to maximise their survivability while maximising their freedom of movement/ action; highly likely to be “stealthier” than their F-22 and F-35 predecessors but with the mix of other performance goals (say range/ endurance versus high G manoeuvring) likely to be different.There is likely to be less trade-off for low observability characteristics (like the F-22 and then the F-35 had to sacrifice less than a F-117 for them) and they may well look different than current 5th generation designs.Their loyal (unmanned) wingmen are also likely to look to minimise their observability characteristics but the cost/ benefit of the precise balance of such characteristics versus cost and other factors will be different than for the manned platforms.
