It’s a so-called multi-role fighter aircraft, designed for air-to-air combat, aerial bombing and reconnaissance.
It is seen as a solid low-cost alternative to more expensive fifth generation planes like the F-35.
The latest version can refuel, rearm and be back in the air in 10-20 minutes after landing, and is capable of operating from relatively rough air strips.
