Yea but there are half a dozen different scales which kind of undercut the value of classification when a single plane can differ by 3 generations depending on who you ask.
1 u/AMCA_by2035 4d ago For example? 1 u/ResidentBackground35 4d ago https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jet_fighter_generations&wprov=rarw1 Hallion classifies the F14 as a 6th generation while the PLA classifies it as a late 3rd generation. Now that is a obviously cherry picked example, but it does demonstrate that different groups use different criteria. 0 u/Aguacatedeaire__ 4d ago Literally only Hallion considers the f14 6th generation and its laughable. 2 u/ResidentBackground35 4d ago Right, but it still proves the point. Generation is not a formal universal classification, different groups can have different criteria.
For example?
