This American Fastest Fighter Jet Shocked Russia And China

fighter jets today are at the cutting edge  of technology and represents some of the most   technologically advanced and sophisticated  pieces of machinery ever built by man speed is one of the main features that  every modern fighter jet must possess   in order to remain relevant on the modern  battlefield while the united states along   with russia have set the pace and the bar for  the development of sophisticated new age fighters   many of which are still futuristic despite being  built decades ago speed ultimately remains one of   the key factors in distinguishing a fighter  jet from a diesel-powered propeller plane and thereby the question arises as to which  country is the top dog when it comes to building   warplanes capable of not just being stealthy  and maneuverable but also being the fastest however speed alone is no longer the defining  factor on the modern battlefield that has at least   partially been replaced by stealth for example  the f-22 raptor is the slowest fighter jet on   this list and yet is perhaps the most potent  air superiority fighter jet in the world today the us sr-71 blackbird spy plane was undoubtedly  the fastest aircraft in the world and still holds   the record for retaining the maximum speed for  a non-rocket aircraft however it still wasn't   a fighter jet in this video we will take a look  at the fastest fighter jets in the world today lockheed martin f-22 raptor 1500 miles  per hour the f-22 raptor is a fifth   generation air supremacy fighter and is quite  possibly the most advanced fighter jet of its   sort in the world today the f-22 raptor was  developed exclusively for the united states   air force and it is so advanced that the us  has maintained an export ban on this aircraft while the air force was planning to procure  a few thousands of these fighter jets   the program was cancelled due to  cost and lack of perceived enemies   in the world that would require a 5th  generation air supremacy fighter jet in the end only 187 operational f22 raptors were  built being one of the slowest of the fastest   fighter jets to make this list one can see how it  relies more on stealth than speed to win the day   convair f-106 1526 miles per hour the convair f-106 delta dart was developed for  the u.s air force and was a primary all-weather   interceptor aircraft they were introduced  in the 1960s and used through to the 1980s   during the cold war they have all long since been  retired groomin f-14 tomcat 1554 miles per hour the f-14 tomcat was developed  for the united states navy   and featured predominantly  in tom cruise's movie top gun they were developed in the 1970s and finally  retired from the navy in 2006 after having   seen 712 airplanes produced interestingly they  remain in service today in the iranian air force the united states navy has replaced the f-14  with the f-18s the f-14 were a great fighter   jet in their time and were world famous for  their highly distinctive variable sweep wings   they were developed as an interceptor  air superiority and multi-role fighter   eurofighter typhoon 1544 miles per hour the only european made fighter jet to make this  list the eurofighter typhoon is a multi-role   fighter although it was originally designed  to perform more of an air superiority role   today it is in service in the british  german italian and spanish air forces   and has seen some 571 typhoons  produced up to the end of 2020   the typhoon is known to be highly agile  and extremely effective in dogfighting sukhoi su-27 flanker 1600 miles per hour the sukhoi su-27 is a soviet-built super  super-maneuverable fighter jet and was designed   to counter the us's 4th generation fighters like  the f-15 eagle and f-14 tomcat it was designed for   air superiority missions and was intended to work  alongside the mig-29 of the 680 built the majority   remain in service in the russian air force as well  as a number of other air forces around the world   mcdonald douglas f-15 eagle 1650 miles per hour in addition to the super advanced albeit  slower fifth generation f-22 raptor the   f-15 eagle is united states air force's other  air supremacy fighter jet and despite being a   much older fighter jet than the f-22 it is also  much cheaper and remains in production today one of the f-15s claims to fame includes being  among the most successful modern fighter jets   so much that it has claimed over 100  aerial combat victories against other   planes with no losses in turn most of these  kills have been with the israeli air force mikoyan mig-25 foxbot and mig-31  foxhound 1900 miles per hour [Applause]   the mig-25 was developed by the soviet union  back in the 1960s and was among the very fastest   military aircraft to have ever entered service  in the world today most of the mig-25s aka   foxbat have retired and have been largely replaced  by the mig-31 the mig-31 was based on the mig-25   the mig-31 also sits among the fastest combat  jets in the world and is expected to remain   in service in the russian air force until  2030 lockheed sr-71 blackbird 2500 miles per hour and the winner is the lockheed sr-71  blackbird yes that's not a fighter jet but   still the fastest military aircraft this was a  long-range high-altitude strategic reconnaissance   aircraft developed back in the 1960s and saw  service in both the us air force and with nasa   32 of these super fast and advanced jets were  produced and they have all since been retired   ironic that the fastest military aircraft  was designed back in the 1960s and are not in   service today today stealth is more important  than just plane speed in summary the russians   have the world's fastest fighter jets but the  americans have the stealthiest get it warmed up no so you
