Classification of the fighter air Crafts ( part 2 )

Classification of the fighter aircraft: 

Before this we have posted the basic definition of the fighter aircraft what actually is and for what purposes these are used. As with the passage of the time classifications of the fighter jets designed and developed. Here are some classifications of the fighter jets:

Air superiority fighters.

Fighter bombers.

Heavy fighters.

Interceptors.

Light fighters.

All-weather fighters (that also includes the night fighter).

Reconnaissance fighters.

Strategic fighter (that also includes the strike fighters and escort fighters).

Air superiority fighters:

Though, the attacking fighter types have proliferated, the air superiority fighter emerged as the a specific role at the maneuvrability, pinnacle of the speed, and air to air weapon system, able to the hold its own against the all other attacking fighters and to establish its dominance in the skies above the battlefield and War.

Interceptors:

Interceptor is a fighter jet that is designed specifically to intercept and engage the approaching enemy aircrafts. Interceptor having two general classes, relatively build for fast reaction lightweight aircraft in the point of the deffence role, as well as with the short range and high performance, and heavier fighter aircraft with more comprehensive  avionics and that is designed to fly at night or in all kind of weathers and to operate over the longer ranges. By 1929 originating during the World War I, the fighters jet of this class had become known as the interceptor.

Night fighter and the all weather fighters:

The equipment's that are necessary for the flights of daytime are not enough when the jet or plane is flying in poor visibility or at night time. To aid the pilot in straight flying, navigating and to finding the target that pilot need to hit for all this there was developed a fighter jet called the night fighter that was developed and designed during the World War I with additional equipment's. In 1915, from the modified variants of the Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c, the night fighter Jets has been evolved into the highly capable all weather fighters for attacking and hitting targets.

Strategic fighters:

This is a very fast fighter jet, heavily armed and long range type. Strategic fighter able to act as an escort fighter protecting bombers, for carrying out its own offensive sorties to maintain standing patrols at the significant distance from its home base and as a penetration fighter. Due to the poor maneuverability and low speed the Bombers are vulnerable. As a protective shield during the World War II the escort fighter was developed to come between the enemy attackers and bombers. There was primary requirement for the long range, with a lot of heavy fighter jet given the role. However, they are also proved as the vulnerable and unwieldy, to extend the ranges of the more nimble conventional fighters drop tanks were developed, so as the techniques of the war progressed.

For ground attack roles the penetration fighter is typically also fitted for suck kind of attacks, and while conducting the attacking sorties is also able to defend it-self.
