Today’s jet fighters, combat aircrafts and multi-role aircrafts.
The end of the 20th century was marked by a significant decrease in the number of aircraft models in service in the air force. From now on, fighter aircrafts are no longer simple interceptors, but their missions are very varied: penetration, tactical reconnaissance, ground attack, etc… The jet fighter has become multi-role and the few representatives of this family, whether they are 4th or 5th generation, are now a small elite of aircrafts.
