A fighter jet is a military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft. These jets are equipped with advanced technology, including radar systems and weapons, allowing them to engage in high-speed aerial maneuvers. They play a crucial role in defending airspace and supporting ground forces. Fighter jets can also perform ground attack missions, targeting enemy installations and vehicles. They are typically faster and more agile than other types of aircraft, making them essential for maintaining air superiority in modern warfare. Examples of famous fighter jets include the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-22 Raptor.
