They say the F-22 Raptor is a "5th Generation Fighter"? Can somebody give me 1 example from each generation?

Question

.
Ok, that makes sense. I would put the Mig-35 in the 4th generation catagory but I could be wrong.

.
Yeah, the Mig-35 is 5th generation. If one took down a Raptor I think you would need to give the pilot every medal in the book, though.

Answer 1

actually they are refering to the five generations of jet fighters....
1. 1944- 1953-p-80 shooting star
2. 1953-1960-f-105 thunderchief
3. 1960-1970-f-4 phantom ii
4. 1970-1990- f-14 tomcat
there is a 4.5 generation from 1990-present- which includes the f-15 strike eagle but the fifth generation only includes the f-22 raptor as far as operational status goes... which basicaly means we are in a transitional phase. watch out bad guys...
