The Most Dangerous Fighter Jets In The World

they look cool are incredibly fast extremely expensive and flown by the best and most courageous pilots in the world fighter jets belong to every powerful Air Force but especially Russia China and the u.s. attached great importance to these machines Russia alone has a lot more fighter jets than Germany France Great Britain Italy Spain and Turkey combined and today we'll take a look at the best fighter jets in the world let's start with the SU choice su 57 this is currently the most modern combat aircraft in Russia because it is so new there are only 12 of them of which at least two have already completed combat missions the SU 57 has high versatility and can be used as both a fighter bomber or a reconnaissance aircraft as well as an air dominance fighter and an interceptor so this jet is able to fight in an air combat against other jets but can also detect and attack targets on the ground it's Russia's first fifth-generation jet which means it combines the combat abilities of a regular jet with state-of-the-art camouflage technology extreme maneuverability and well integrated computer systems working together in a network to significantly improve the situational awareness the SU 57 is 19.7 metres long has a wingspan of 14 meters and weighs 18.5 tons it can be equipped with a maximum of 10 tons of weapons the deployable radius is quite good at 1,200 kilometers as well as the top speed at Mach 2 which is a maximum of 2,000 150 kilometers per hour next comes China's best fighter jet the Chengdu j-20 this one is pretty new as well and wasn't put into service until 2017 like the su 57 it's a fifth-generation fighter the j-20 also has camouflage properties of course this doesn't make it invisible but make sure that the jet cannot be tracked with a normal radar in addition to the fighter aircraft the Chinese are also developing hypersonic missiles that can fly at 6,000 km/h to equip the j-20 with the Chinese fighter jet is twenty point four meters long has a wingspan of 13.5 meters and a weight of nineteen point four tons its deployable is supposed to be over 1,000 kilometers and the maximum speed is at least Mach 1.7 which means 20 100 km/h unfortunately there aren't any exact numbers published though probably the best fighter jet in Europe which just kicked the eurofighter typhoon off the list is the Dassault Rafael from France in various analysis it scored better than the Eurofighter and that even though it actually costs less the Rafael is the only fourth generation jet on this list because so far only the Russians Chinese and Americans own fighter jets of the fifth generation as a result the French jet of course has its disadvantages at long distances where for example the SU 57 could launched guided missiles without even being detected by the radar of the Rafael however in a dogfight ie in a battle conducted at close range the Rafael could absolutely win against the more modern competition in addition as a multi-purpose combat aircraft it is well suited for all tasks and has already proven itself on many missions the Rafael is 15 point 2 7 meters long has a wingspan of 10.8 meters and weighs 10.2 tons it can be equipped with 9.5 tons of weapons has a deployable radius of 1090 3 kilometers and reaches a maximum speed of 2,000 125 km/h finally the best air dominance fighter in the world the f-22 Raptor by Lockheed Martin from the US no wonder the Americans have the most advanced fighter after all they spend much more money on it than all the other countries in the world the development costs of an f-22 are incredibly high at four hundred million dollars what makes the f-22 so special is the combination of all the important features of a modern fighter jet namely stealth technology precision maneuverability and speed the special strength of this fighter aircraft is capturing enemy targets long before it even appears on the opponent's radar the weapons of the f-22 are hidden inside this improves not only the stealth capabilities but also the performance as far as the on-board electronics are concerned there's probably no other jet that can compete with the f-22 either of course that does not mean it's invincible though the f-22 is 18.8 7 metres long has a wingspan of 13.5 6 meters and weighs 19.7 tons it has a deployable radius of 1482 kilometers and reaches a top speed of 2400 10 kilometers per hour if these combat aircrafts are the best of the best then why can the other fighters found in the hangars of the air forces as well this is of course due to the costs and tasks that they are supposed to be used for even though the f-22 may be the best fighter it costs 150 million dollars excluding development costs which is almost twice as much as an f-35 that can perform even more diverse tasks as you can see it is always necessary to compare price and performance here the Russian models often score best for example the sukhoi su-15 one of the world's newest fighter jets cost only 50 million dollars apiece however the amount of money needed to operate these aircrafts is really unbelievable and quite depressing a single hour of flight with the f-22 costs between 60,000 and 70,000 dollars with a sum as high as that a normal person could live quite well for as long as 3 years in addition all combat aircrafts are intended to be used for different tasks so a direct comparison is not easy well which of these jets did you like the most and do you know one that you think should definitely have been on this list let me know in the comments below take care and until next time bye [Music] [Music]
