Why is the Rafale mentioned as a 3.5 gen fighter while usually we tend to hear 4.5 gen?

As per Chineses source Rafale is termed as 3.5 gen, Chinese generations count one less then the world.

World 4.5th gen will called as 3.5 gen in Chinese system.

That is how they rate generations ... for them stealth & super-cruise is 4th generation.

Chinese skipped generation 1 planes and started with second generation planes that were used in WW2.

Pakistan defence committee outlines PAC efficiency requirements
Jon Grevatt - Jane's Defence Weekly
08 January 2020



Pakistan's Standing Committee on Defence Production has outlined requirements for the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) to become more efficient and pursue exports. The priorities were laid out in a statement by the Senate committee on 7 January.

The statement said that the development of the PAC is required to support Pakistan's effort to "develop its combat worthiness [and] to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity". In line with this objective, the committee said it had identified several "directions" for the PAC.

These included investing in supporting indigenous "innovative research and self-reliance" as well expanded commercialisation through exports.

"Commercialisation of [PAC] products should be the next priority to not only earn much-needed foreign exchange but also to reinforce [Pakistan's] bilateral ties with friendly countries," said the committee.
