The Chinese J-20, American F-22, and Turkish KAAN (air superiority fighters)
The Russian Su-57, Chinese FC-31, and American F-35 (more focused on CAS)
India? The EU? Japan? Iran? It's becoming increasingly clear who the world leaders in defence are, and the EU should be terrified.
Su57 is the only one that boarders the EU, and it's pretty much as terrible as you can get for a fifth gen. Plus there are only like a dozen of them in existence. But the EU also has f35 which does okay at air superiority just as long as your engagement range is long enough.
