A jet fighter is a military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft. These planes are equipped with powerful jet engines that allow them to fly at high speeds and altitudes. Jet fighters often carry advanced weaponry, including missiles and cannons, to engage enemy targets effectively. In addition to combat roles, jet fighters are also used for reconnaissance and ground attack missions. They are typically operated by trained pilots and are an essential part of a nation's air force, contributing to air superiority and national defense. Examples of famous jet fighters include the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-22 Raptor.
