It is obvious. With the current economic climate, it is impossible to believe any Euro country will go after 5th gen aircraft like US, Russia, China or India can. 6th gen seems a more viable option because it is established that aircraft like EF and Rafale can still be more or less relevant in today's scenario. The only other options for the four countries mentioned above are Eagle and Flanker models which don't sit tight with the future in mind.

A lot of countries will be able to afford a 6th gen aircraft rather than 5th gen. I guess the first flight of any 6th gen aircraft will be in the 2030-40 period. As usual the Americans will be first followed by anybody else.
