What i ve read about 4.5++ on different forums is that this configuration is really closed to a fifth generation fighter with 4.5++ configuration.....IMHO the only thing left out is stealth design like raptor......At current MKI, SH ,Strike Eagles,Grippen and Viper D, Alongwith Mig-29 OVT,SU-30,J-11 and J-10B can be considered 4.5 Gen Aircrafts where as Grippen NG, Typhoon, Rafale, are 4.5++ and Desert falcons,SU-35 and Mig-35 can be considered 4.5+ class Aircraft.....feel free to disagree
the same hold true for 4.5 generation over all..
it is just thatif a plane have beter engine, AESA radar, and all that stuff that pakSaheen mentioned better then the other one we give it a " + " making it 4.5+. nothing theoratical i guess..
regards!
