Fighter aircraft are military planes designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft. They are equipped with advanced technology, including radar and weapons systems, to engage enemy fighters and protect friendly forces. These aircraft are known for their speed, agility, and ability to perform complex maneuvers in the sky. In addition to air superiority, some fighter aircraft can also carry out ground attack missions, targeting enemy installations and vehicles. Notable examples include the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F/A-18 Hornet, which are used by various air forces around the world for their versatility and effectiveness in combat situations.
