Tuo yo. lahestyi asiaa teknologiakeskeisesti. Tassa on taas katsottu, etta mita (tulevaisuudessa) puuttuu, kun kaikki nykyiset konemallit on saatu laajaan kayttoon:

“penetrating counter-air” (PCA) capability
The PCA concept suggests an aircraft that could enter and operate within hostile airspace protected by increasingly sophisticated air defence systems, including ground-based missiles and fighters. It “will certainly have a role in targeting and engaging [and] it also has a significant role as a node in the network, providing data from its penetrating sensors to enable employment using either stand-off or stand-in weapons”.
Since 2010, the USAF has performed an analysis of alternatives and further studies for a future sixth-generation fighter expected to replace the Lockheed F-22 after 2030. The new Flight Plan, however, indicates the USAF has shelved those plans to adopt a less conventional approach. It says the USAF “should proceed with a formal [analysis of alternatives] in 2017 for a PCA capability”.["]
