Fighter aircraft vs. Fighter-bomber

A fighter aircraft is a military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft, as opposed to bombers and attack aircraft, whose main mission is to attack ground targets. A fighter-bomber is a fighter aircraft that has been modified, or used primarily, as a light bomber or attack aircraft.
