2. Top Fighter planes
There are hundreds of fighter planes across the World, We
are discussing a few of them in this ppt.
All of the aircrafts of this ppt are incredibly powerful and
devasting
fighter jets are a must for every country that wants to keep
their airspace sovereign and secure their positions as a
prominent military force in the world.
4. The fighter jet developed by the French company
Dassault is a multirole fighter.
As the French Air Force was sought after new aircraft to
replace its current fleet, France, in order to reduce costs
agreed to enter into an agreement with other European
countries. As disagreements arose, France decided to
develop its own fighter – the Rafael. The fighter jet first
entered service in 2001 and ever since has been regarded
as one of the best military aircraft in the world.
6. Developed by McDonnell Douglas and later on by
Boeing, the F-15 is still produced. Even though it was
delivered more than 35 years ago, the F-15 is still
considered a very capable fighter in the air. It still is
operated by 4 countries: Israel, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and
the United States.
8. The HAL Tejas is an Indian fighter jet that is replacing
the MiG-21, which the Indian Air Force has been using
since 1964. Pilots praise the HAL Tejas for its high
maneuverability. Production on the fourth-generation
Indian jet fighter began recently, due to the fact that the
program struggled to obtain an Operational Clearance.
10. Out of all the fighter jets in the list, the story of the
Typhoon is one of the most interesting ones. A joint
operation of Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo
developed the Typhoon. After development began in 1983,
the first official test flight took off in 1994. The Typhoon
was plagued by delays. After the fall of the Berlin Wall
and a change of government in Germany, the Chancellor
of Germany at the time made a promise to cancel the
project. However, the program survived and after a
myriad of delays Germany deployed the first Eurofighter
Typhoon
12. The first fifth-generation fighter jet in the world, the F-22 Raptor
entered service in 2005. The United States government canceled the
production of the Raptor in 2011. Even though it was a critical part of
the USAF (the United States Air Force), the rising development and
maintenance costs, lack of air-to-air missions put an end to the
production of the jet. Lockheed delivered the last Raptor to the USAF
in 2012.
Nevertheless, the F-22 was a pioneer. It was the first fighter jet to
combine super cruise, supermaneuvrability, stealth and sensor fusion.
14. FC-31 or the J-31 is the second fifth-generation fighter jet
that is going to be introduced into the Chinese Air Force.
Although less advanced than its counterpart, the
Chengdu J-20, it is still a very capable fighter jet. The
exact specifications remain unclear for anyone that is
outside the Chinese Military. Foreign experts, primarily
US ones, indicate that the FC-31 is on par with other fifth-
generation fighters. However, the better jet is decided by
a multitude of other factors. Namely, the readiness of the
pilots and capabilities of radars and sensors of the
aircraft.
16. United States Air Force introduced the newest fighter jet
in 2015. The F-35 has three main variants, with differences
in their landing capabilities. The estimated cost of the F-
35 program is mind-blowing. The US government spent a
whopping $1.508 trillion on the fighter jet. But on the
other hand, Lockheed projects that the USAF will utilize
the fighter jet until 2070. Although the F-35 has its critics,
it certainly cannot be denied that it is the most advanced
fighter jet currently in the air.
17. SU-30 MKI
SU-30 MKI : Twin seater twin
engine multirole fighter of
Russian origin which carries
One X 30mm GSH gun along

or Infra red homing close
range missiles. It has a max
speed of 2500 km/ hr.
Jaguar
