Fighter jets are military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft. They are equipped with advanced technology, including radar and weapons systems, allowing them to engage in high-speed maneuvers and perform various missions. Fighter jets can also be used for ground attack and reconnaissance, making them versatile tools in modern warfare.
These aircraft come in different types, such as interceptors, which focus on defending airspace, and multirole fighters, which can perform multiple tasks. Notable examples include the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the F-22 Raptor, both known for their agility and advanced capabilities in combat situations.
