Aerospace Fighters are military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air and interstellar combat. In military conflict, the role of aerospace fighters is to establish air or spatial superiority of the battlespace. Domination of the battlespace permits bombers, attack craft, and warships to engage in tactical and strategic strikes of enemy targets, and helps prevent the enemy from doing the same.
