What Exactly Is A 6th Generation Fighter?

What exactly is a 6th Generation Fighter? Fifth-generation fighters are so advanced – and so expensive – models: the United States, Russia, and China. The technology – stealth, supercruise, supermaneuverability, interconnectivity – is still cutting edge. Yet, the great powers are already looking ahead, as great powers tend to do, competing with each other, and contemplating the 6th generation of fighter technology.

Sixth-generation fighters exist only in concept. Several countries are working on 6th generation fighters – some of which have never even created a fifth-generation fighter – including the U.S., Russia, China, Japan, the UK, and France. No one is close yet to debuting a 6th generation fighter; the going expectation is that the next generation won’t debut until the 2030s..

Whatever they will look like, we can rest assured that the USAF will completely over-engineer it and completely ignore necessary missions like close air support.

The only reason dogfighting isn't an important thing, we haven't been in a war with a country that actually has an air force. If we go to war against China or Russia, we need a plane that excels at dogfighting.
It's common sense!

Cheap speculation and few facts garbage click bait.
