The Worldwide Transition Is Starting From 4th Generation to 5TH Generation FightersThe Worldwide Transition Is Starting From 4th Generation to 5TH Generation Fighters



• Threats are Increasingly More Effective

• Today’s 4th Gen Aircraft No Longer Provide the Competitive Edge

• UAV Is Only Useful in Certain Applications

• 5th Gen Fighters Remain the Answer on All Fronts

− Quantum leap in effectiveness

− Requires less force and support assets

− Less total ownership cost
