Fighter jets are the crown jewels of any air force, often serving as the most critical components. These modern marvels, known for their speed, agility, and power, are versatile, capable of fulfilling a variety of roles. While many nations operate older, more cost-effective models, leading military forces strive for superiority, investing in cutting-edge technology. The more technologically advanced the jet, the more efficient it is in its duties. Hence, the latest innovations are frequently incorporated into these aircraft. Powerful propulsion systems, intricate weaponry, and advanced radar capabilities make these jets truly multifunctional. Some even employ thrust vectoring nozzles for enhanced maneuverability, while others utilize stealth designs to minimize their radar and heat signatures. The most advanced fighter jets are equipped with sophisticated computers and communication links for data processing and sharing. But which of these fighter jets take the top spot? Let's delve into their features and find out.

the F-22 was made by Lockheed Martin not Boeing and it was the first true fifth gen fighter the F/A-18 was made by Mcdonnel Douglas and the F-35 was the second operational fifth gen fighter but was not revealed to the public until 2015 but first manufactured in 2006. I am 11 years old and the fact that I know this and you don't says something
The Super Hornet is made by Boeing
Technically they are not wrong on the F 22, it was a joint venture with Lockheed Martin and Boeing Defense. Through Skunkworks, they teamed with Boeing and General Dynamics to create the F22. Northrop and McDonnel Douglas also played a role in development and testing.
The F/A-18 Super Hornet was created by Boeing as a successor to the McDonnell Douglass F/A-18. You are right, however, in saying that the F-22 is the Skunk Works part of Lockheed. But I can get where you are coming from, seeing how I am thirteen and I am furious that the video had so many incorrect facts.
You tell em kid
Go to bed kid 🛏️
The RAFALE surpasses the F18 without any worries... it is much better so the RAFALE should at least be in 4th place even if I think it has more of a place in 3rd place.
100 per cent agree ,delta wing plus cunnard config. gives the rafale waaaaay more maneuverability...... but the flanker E is up there too ......... belkan wizardry ^^
Rafal fake air plane
The Rafale and especially the latest F4 version comfortably surpasses all the rest of the 4th generation fighters and competes with those of the 5th generation.. Its electronics and of course its weapons I would say are unbeatable..

@@user-so6gh1uc2e I think you misunderstood the very simple title of this list
Interesting but not very accurate comparison. The only real references are the comparative and extensive (hundreds of criterias) studies the countries do when they want to buy new fighters. These last 15 years, in ALL the studies made by the main fighters buyers the French Rafale had the best results !!! The only reason the F35 finally won the competition in most cases was always because these countries were diplomatically, financially and/or economically dependent of the USA !!!
I was going buy one...i am happy that i found this video
Nah, avoid ...
Come on The Rafale literally won every simulation against every fighter in the video.
Yes it's a French breast and it serves in the Hellenic air force along side with F-16s, Mirage 2000s and soon F-35s

Im the 1st to comment here which I'm happy about, as I'd like to make a point about people's bias towards their country or the side they'd root for in a conflict. Without any rational thought or accepting someone other than their country might just have a completely different view because of the various opinions in media (propaganda). For me it has to be taken into account what the fighter jet has came up against. If it hasn't proven itself against a peer adversary. It means anyone's opinion of that aircraft is based on hearsay not actual achievements. The F-15 for examples is stated as the most successful fighter in many western publications. The F-15 hasn't fought a serious battle against anyone with an equal ability or a decent integrated air defence. So what does that mean? It means it's great against a sub standard airforce. The F-22 is stated as being the best fighter jet ever. Which is totally ridiculous considering it's being retired without a kill to it's name. The current conflict in Ukraine, Russia hasn't had to face anything of worth to test it's best fighters so it's hard to garner anything from those either. So it's all good fun to say this & that. Not a single one of us can say this one is better than the other one. As they haven't faced each other, so no matter what the media has tried to state it's totally irrelevant.
If kills are what decides the best fighter plane, non of these will even be on the list :) No:1 in this case would be F6F-3 Hellcat. :D
@@tommykarlberg Hellcat would be 4th, behind 1/ BF109, 2/ FW190, 3/ P51, 4/ Hellcat. by Davys theory. Take into account also that the BF109 and FW190 of Germany had over 20,000 kills combined and only operated in Europe and North Africa. The P51 Mustang and Hellcats fought in Europe, The Pacific and Korean wars. As great planes they all were, the two American planes were responsible for around half that of the German planes. But alas, none of these planes were in active service in 2023
The f35 had a 21 to 1 kill ratio at red flag vs f15s that's how we know
Well put.
The f22 has a balloon kill..
I can appreciate the time and effort done to make this piece but the fact that the Foxbat is listed and not the F-15 E/EX is puzzling to me. Don’t know what the criteria of capabilities was used to generate this piece, but the reasoning behind it is very interesting.
Considering that the narration uses words like “reconnaissantz” and “match 3”, I would take any opinion with a grain of salt
F-15 EX was never actually in the military and was only a weapons tester for NASA.
Aesthetics probably played a significant role.
@@HarryGeisNo the F15 EX is in production and used by the Air Force. The F15 Silent Eagle was the test platform and was later cancelled.
america likes to pretend it has the best fighters,but has been shown to be outclassed.
I would agree with some of the video, the F-18 super hornet is a fine plane but it isn’t technically superior to a Typhoon or Rafale.The Super Hornet should be further down the list.
Indeed ! I had exactly the same thought.
@@frozenfrog and the base frame is a bit old, just overhauled and not much more (except electronics, but still behind even the gripen which may have one of the best if not the best avionic suite of all 4gen fighters. yeah, I'm mad I know...
Boeing F-22? Did Boeing buy Lockheed last week and nobody told me?
Yes😂
I think the F15E should included in your count down
The comment section dismisses skills as an attributing factor. Technology is a mere tool but the ability is skills to secure the win. AI has never seen war nor should it.
No F15. Considered the best fighter ever made... but not on this list? The F15EX as well as the F16 Block 70/72 are hands down better than the Mig 25/31 and arguably better than the SU27 family of fighters (including the SU 30/33). Seriously, how can the Mig 25/31 even be on this list?
You must be American, you seem very passionate
Btw, in which category is it better? Speed? MiG is faster. Maneuverability? Su is more maneuverable Load capacity? MiG again
Dah....This is a Russian Website. You're lucky the F-22 made the list!
Lol f15 are better againts decades older fighterjets...americans claimed the f15 to have shotdown a hundredplus jets but all of those are as old as time😂
@@mahershalmatinek7376 Beacause that is where the war was. In war you need to have an advantage. The F15 gave that better than anything else at the time. Also, the F15EX is a new fighter for new threats and it will do just fine.
There's a big mistake. Chronologically, the General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin/ Boeing F-22 Raptor was the first truly 5th Generation twin engine multirole stealth fighter.
But it's 4th gen stealth so not a full 5th gen fighter.
@@jonnytoast they have constantly updated it, its 5th gen stealth
@@jonnytoastf22 is the only True gen5 fighter and better than anything else on the list
@@jonnytoast Ha Ha, very funny. The F-22 Raptor, even though being old, can probably outperform any fighter jet on the list in BVR, far less a dogfight.
Deswegen haben ihn sogar die Yugoslawen abgeschossen.
The F-35 topspeed is so low... they don't even wanna mention it in terms of Mach 😅
Also, The / A Gripen C and the D, the 2 steated verison, are carrying the US' made GE F404G = for Gripen or saying other way, the / a RM 12 Engine, which is licensed, but the Gripen E and hopefully soon or very soon coming the F the 2 seated version of the / a Gripen E, uses the GE F414G engine!/. The G means for the Gripen, that It is suited = integrated to and for the Gripen E and F onle!/. And that, the GE F414R Engine is also called the RM 16, and it is the same engine version, but with different locking or something, so that It can't be used in/on the Super Hornets and Growlers which use the same, but their own verison of the GE F414 Engine!/. Also, the Hornets, Legacy Hornets are using the GE F404 Engine, as the Gripen C and D, but with a different locks or something, than the Gripen C and D versions!/. Finland uses too the Legacy Hornet, the F/A 18 Hornets, both the C and D, but their engine is also different, even it is the same GE F404 Engine, but it is not as powerfull as the Gripen C and D own versions, that It has something like about 17 000 bounces or lb of Thrust, as the Gripen C and D:s RM 12 has 18,500 of Pounced of Thrust or something, but the Finnish Engine Version might stand the snow and cold better or way/lot better, than the original Hornet's Engines!/.
Either way they're using American engine which is better or American Tech which they're trying to... Following is not leading
I seen f35c(7g limit) do crazy maneuverable tricks like f22 abd su57 without thrust vectoring with block 3 upgrade even fallen leaf maneuver imagine what the f35a can with a 9g limit but they always bring the f35c to the shows
How can doo crazy manouvers with speed off 1200mph.and can fly only 1minute supersonic than puny engine goes in 100peaces.Its plane for other things STEALTH OF F35ID 0.001THAT MEENS ITS HARD TOO TAKE HIM ON RADAR .HIS PURPOSE IS GO AND SHOOT 4ROCKETS AND BACK TOO BASE.
those are common even sukhoi are known to do those
@@amit_achrekar411 Modern combat is BVR. Acrobatics are just for show off. So pilot and avionics are far more relevant and they really do make the difference.
F 16 Mother of all fighters. Filling so sad not in the list
Are you sure? Because I think that is F-14 Tomcat
F16 is a mid-light fighter. It cannot compete with heavy fighters. its good against other light fighters. but will lose to a F-15
Great collection of information and your Hard efforts are appreciated😊🙏❤
Show me the best pilot using the best tactics and I'll show you the best plane.
Greeks are considered the best pilots. They own Rafale, F16 Viper and F-35 have already been ordered.
Pilots are essential. but without a great electronic suite these days, with BVR engagements only or 99% of the times, they can't perform miracles. But I agree is both the plane and it's pilot. A good plane without a well trained pilot is like to give a lamborghini to a 5 years kid.
It doesn't matter what fighter jet you take. It depends on recon, by sattelites, AWACS, other radar systems and who has the best and most modern air-to-air missiles usually. And of course if you fight over enemy territory if you have total air superiority. I think if those points would circumstances would be guaranteed you even could use an old Mig 21 with some modernizations. War in itself may not have changed, but the way wars are fought have. At least when it comes to aircraft and armoured vehicles as well as artillery and electronic warfare. The only thing that has not changed: The poor guys in their trenches or vehicles still die as the first ones. They are the most exendables. Yeah, that's the "human race".
MIG-31I Satellite KIller
Yes doesnt mind if the plane cannot receive sta and AWACS signals and cannot bring those super magic missiles.
F22 FTW
@@WOLF10139 the one that has over 20 years of service and only 2 downed confirmed targets ''sitting still air ballons''? the F-22 is that 30 year old dude that lives in his mom's basement ...... it always have bin an ''overhyped jet'' for the record that it has ..... just stating facts
"It depends on recon, by sattelites, AWACS, other radar systems" Not so much anymore when you have aircraft like the F35 that is basically an AWACS by itself. Using Link 16 this aircraft can be just as effective as the E3 in guiding a flight of 4th or 5th gen aircraft.
Nobody actually knows what the best jets are. Because it takes around 30 years for them to declassify that information
This list seems to be made by armature, inclution of gripen and exclusion of F15 and j20, su57 are so higher up in the list without any significant data and keeping typhoon lower in the list
F-15s kill record is 117-0 that doesn’t need explanation. Su-57 has made several kills in Ukraine war but no data about J-20.
I was looking for amca and tejas, disappointed. This list is garbage.
@@niweshlekhak9646No killing data on J20 because China has no war with any country. But some US generals mentioned that J20 once approached F35 all of a sudden. Therefore, J20 is definitely a match for F35 or even F22. Besides, China's second stealth fighter J31 will enter service soon. J31 is the real counterpart of F35.
The gripen deserves its place and should rank higher. agree with you regarding the j20 and the not 5th gen su57 though
Even before the start of the viewing, I already knew how the places on the pedestal would be placed. Well, you can't say that Russian combat aircraft are better than American ones. Right? 😁

Circumstances alter cases, a case in point F-16 is claimed tbe the best, but its small nose make it difficult for it to detect Su-35
Hi, can you make a comparison about ejection seats?
Lets all go fly Match 2.
How are the following aircraft not here: F15, F16, Su30SM, Su30MKI Interesting that you rank the F18 above the Rafale, would've thought it to be the other way around.

Yeah good list but how did u miss F15 Eagle on that list? ... & correction F22 Raptor is by Lockheed Martin
The Mig-31 might have been a good aircraft butbi would not have put it on this list as traveling at speeds above mach 2.1 for 10 minutes completely destroys it's engines and the engines must be replaced. This deficiency has been known for 25 years now and most countries do not see the 31 as a threat.
The omission of the F-15 E and F-15 EX was a big mistake. So was the omission of the F-16. The Grippen and MiG 29 would really round up the 12 best jet fighters in the 2 the last spots. Also, the J20, would probably be 10th in the list. Finally, the F22 is a Lockheed/Boeing partnership and the F-18 is originally McDonnell Douglas and the super hornet is a Boeing upgrade.
