Top 5 Best Fighter Jets in The World 2019

[Music] [Music] [Music] number five the sukhoi su-35 russian 35 nato reporting name flanker ii is the designation for to improve derivatives of the su-27 air defense fighter they are a single-seat twin-engine super maneuverable aircraft designed by the sukhoi design bureau and built by the komsomolsk-on-amur aircraft plant the first variant was designed during the 1980s as an improvement on the su-27 and was known as the su-27 m this derivative incorporated canards and a multifunction radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role aircraft which was structurally reinforced to cope with its greater weight the first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988 as the aircraft was not mass-produced due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union Sukhoi redesignate the aircraft as so 35 to attract export orders the 14 aircraft produced were used for tests and demonstrations one example had thrust vectoring engines and the resultant of 37 was used as a technology demonstrator a solsa 35 UB two-seat trainer was also built in the late 1990s that resembled the satheri MK family in 2003 Sukhoi embarked on a second modernization of the su-27 to serve as an interim aircraft awaiting the development of the sukhoi pak fought suit 57 program also known as 235 this version has a redesigned cockpit and weapons control system compared to the su-27 m and features thrust vectoring engines in place of the canards the type made its first flight in February 2008 although the aircraft was designed for export the Russian Air Force in 2009 became the launch customer of the aircraft with the production version called su-35s the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force and the Indonesian Air Force have also ordered the aircraft number four the dass all grifoll French pronunciation riffle literally meaning gust of wind comet inand bursts of fire in a more military sense is a French twin-engine canard DeltaWing multi-role fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation equipped with a wide range of weapons the riffle is intended to perform air supremacy interdiction aerial reconnaissance ground support in depth strike anti-ship strike and nuclear deterrence missions the revolt is referred to as an omni role aircraft by Dassault in the late 1970s the French Air Force and Navy were seeking to replace and consolidate their current fleets of aircraft in order to reduce development costs and boost prospective sales France entered into an arrangement with UK Germany Italy and Spain to produce an agile multi-purpose fighter the Eurofighter Typhoon subsequent disagreements over work share and differing requirements led to Frances pursuit of its own development programme des alt built a technology demonstrator which first flew in July 1986 as part of an eight-year flight test programme paving the way for the go-ahead of the project the ripple is distinct from other european fighters of its era in that it is almost entirely built by one country involving most of france's major defence contractors such as Dassault fails and Safran many of the aircraft's avionics and features such as direct voice input the RBE - a active electronically scanned array a ESA radar and the Optronics act or frontal infrared search and track irst sensor were domestically developed and produced for the rifle program originally scheduled to enter service in 1996 the revolt suffered significant delays due to post Cold War budget cuts and changes in priorities the aircraft is available in three main variants Revell C single-seat land-based version riffle B twin-seat land-based version and ruffle em single-seat carrier-based version introduced in 2001 the riffle is being produced for both the French Air Force and for carrier based operations in the French Navy the riffle has been marketed for export to several countries and was selected for purchase by the Indian Air Force the Egyptian Air Force and the Qatar Air Force the riffle has been used in combat over Afghanistan Libya Mali Iraq and Syria several upgrades to the weapons and avionics of the rifle are planned to be introduced by 2018 number three the Lockheed Martin f-35 lightning ii is a family of single-seat single-engine all-weather stealth multi-role fighters the fifth-generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air superiority missions it has three main models the f-35 a conventional takeoff and landing seat eol variant the f-35 be short takeoff and vertical landing staff low variant and the f-35c carrier based catapult assisted takeoff but arrested recovery catobar variant on July 31st 2015 the United States Marines declared ready for deployment the first squadron of f-35b fighters after intensive testing on August 2nd 2016 the US Air Force declared its first squadron of f-35 a fighter's combat ready the f-35 descents from the ex35 the winning design of the Joint Strike Fighter JSF program an aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin designed and manufactures in other major f-35 industry partners include Northrop Grumman Pratt & Whitney and BAE Systems the f-35 first flew on December 15 2006 the United States plans to buy 2663 aircraft it's variants are to provide the bulk of the crude tactical air power of the US Air Force Navy and Marine Corps over the coming decades deliveries of the f-35 for the US military are scheduled until 2037 with a projected service life up to 2017 the United States principally funds the f-35 JSF development with additional funding from partners the partner nations are either NATO members or close US allies the United Kingdom Italy Australia Canada Norway Denmark the Netherlands and Turkey are part of the active development program several additional countries have ordered or are considering ordering 35 program director told Jane's reporters on October 1st 2018 that turkeys industrial base provides multiple parts on every f-35 including u.s. f-35s as the largest and most military program thirty-five is the subject of much scrutiny and criticism in the US and in other countries in 2013 and 2014 critics argued that the plane was plagued with design flaws with many blaming the procurement process in which Lockheed was allowed to design tests and produce the f-35 all at the same time instead of identifying and fixing defects before firing up its production line by 2014 the program was 163 billion dollar over-budget and seven years behind schedule critics also contend that the program's high sunk costs and political momentum make it too big to kill in 2018 the f-35 was used in combat for the first time as the Israeli Air Force's f-35 I became operational and been flown all over the Middle East and had carried out the planes first combat air strikes in the world on two different battle fronts number two the eurofighter typhoon is a twin-engine canard DeltaWing multi-role fighter the typhoon was designed originally as an air superiority fighter and is manufactured by a consortium of Airbus BAE Systems and Leonardo that conducts the majority of the project through a joint holding company Eurofighter Jack flux yoke GmbH formed in 1986 NATO Eurofighter and tornado Management Agency manages the project and is the prime customer the aircraft's development effectively began in 1983 with the future European fighter aircraft program a multinational collaboration among the UK Germany France Italy and Spain disagreements over design Authority and operational requirements led France to leave the consortium to develop the - Alberto independently a technology demonstration aircraft the British Aerospace EAP first took flight on August 6 1986 the first prototype of the finalised Eurofighter made its first flight on March 27 1994 the aircraft's named typhoon was adopted in September 1998 the first production contracts were also signed that year political issues in the partner nations significantly protracted the typhoons development the sudden end of the Cold War reduced European demand for fighter aircraft and debate existed over the aircraft's cost and work share the typhoon entered operational service in 2003 it has entered service with the air forces of Austria Italy Germany the United Kingdom Spain and Saudi Arabia the air forces of Oman Kuwait and Qatar are export customers bringing the procurement total to 599 aircraft as of 2016 the Eurofighter Typhoon is a highly agile aircraft designed to be a supremely effective duck fighter in combat later production aircraft have been increasingly better equipped to undertake air-to-surface strike missions and to be compatible with an increasing number of and armaments and equipment including Storm Shadow and the RAF spring stone the typhoon had its combat debut during the 2011 military intervention in Libya with the UK's Royal Air Force and the Italian Air Force performing aerial reconnaissance and ground strike missions the type has also taken primary responsibility for air defense duties for the majority of customer nations number one the Lockheed Martin f-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation single-seat twin-engine all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force US Air Force the result of the US Air Force Advanced Tactical Fighter program the aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter but also has ground attack electronic warfare and signal intelligence capabilities the prime contractor Lockheed Martin built most of the f-22s airframe and weapons systems and conducted final assembly while Boeing provided the wings aft fuselage avionics integration and training systems the aircraft was variously designated f-22 and f2 for it formally entered service in December 2005 as the f-22 a after a protracted development and despite operational issues the US Air Force considered the f-22 critical to its tactical air power when the aircraft was introduced the US Air Force stated that the aircraft was unmatched by any known or projected fighter dot the Raptors combination of stealth aerodynamic performance and situational awareness gives the aircraft unprecedented air combat capabilities the high cost of the aircraft a lack of clear air the air due to delays in Russian and Chinese fighter programs a ban on exports and development of the more versatile f-35 led to the end of f-22 production a final procurement tally of 187 operational production aircraft was established in 2009 and the last f-22 was delivered to the US Air Force in 2012
