21st century air warfare

with most of the current generation fighter jets either developed or in the process of development we can get a picture of what(new gen) aircrafts will exist in the world air forces for the next few decades and beyond.
(no particular order)
f/a-22
eurofighter
rafale
pak fa
F-35
jas-39
LCA
su-30mki , su-35 +++++

given these aircrafts (sorry if i missed out any) and factoring in the current trend of weapon development , air defence development , radar development and AWACS development what do u guys think the trend in air warfare will become , considering that more and more countries are developing BVR capability and integrating air defences. do you guys see a major shift in a2a engagements , interceptions , air-2-ground attack etc.considering that the idea that more stealth planes means that BVR will be less likely doesnt really go well with me considering that only the f/a-22 out of the bunch can really be classified as stealth (unless the pakfa prooves otherwise) not to mention that the radar technology will only improve not deteriate in the future.

what do u guys think will happen
