Future non-U.S. 5th Generation fighters

The F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II are America’s 5th Generation fighters, but she is not alone in such advanced aircraft.

Russia is developing her Raptor equivalent, the PAK FA (Su-50), along with a customized variant for India, the FGFA (Su-50MKI). India is developing her indigenous MCA while China is following suit with a 5th Gen fighter, the Shenyang J-XX (J-14?), while Japan and South Korea have developed technology demonstrators like the ATD-X (F-3) and KFX respectively.
