fifth gen: meaningless lockheed martin marketing term
f-22: mostly adequate, fucked by archaic coding practices and a truncated production run thanks gates
f-35: hell yeah, fucked by boomer muh gubment picking winners and losers resulting in the dod shedding basic competencies like being able to set and validate their own testing standards and corona production crunch
j-20: probably good but it's china's first stealth plane so i expect there's a glaring error or two
j-35: probably good
su-57: less of a fifth gen than a modern rhino get that raisin outta here
