The 10 Most Advanced Fighter Jets In 2023

FFighter jets are widely regarded as the most significant aircraft in any air force. Their mission is to defend the airspace as well as to attack the adversary. They must be swift, covert, capable of carrying enormous payloads, and deliver with precise accuracy. To be effective on the modern battlefield, a fighter must be extremely advanced. The majority of fighter jets in modern armies are of the fourth generation. They are highly nimble, equipped with modern radars, and are exceedingly versatile. Fifth-generation fighter planes are the most recent and advanced machines. They are not only stealthy, but they are also outfitted with cutting-edge avionics, data linkages, and sensors. However, the most recent technology comes at a price. As a result, rather than buying brand new planes, many countries will upgrade their fourth-generation aeroplanes with fifth-generation technology. These fighters are from generation 4+ or 4.5.

The best part of this list is the same aircraft will appear on it in different orders whenever it is released.

You guys at the buzz must be smoking something…the J-20 over the F-22… simply Ludacris. Is the PLA sponsoring YouTube channels now?😂

[tgsgardenmaintenance]

Most of these aircraft's true capabilities are top secret, and will be continuingly updated. So a lot of the specifications will be speculative at best! Wikipedia is just a public information service that the military throw some figures at!

[hatty]

did this troll really put the su57 in the 5th rank? LOL.

[michaelphillips]

J-20 better than a Raptor? Ridiculous.

[kevinzhang-chen]

i honestly thought the F-22 raptor would be first

[joseantoniogilsanchez]

F35 better than Raptor????😂😂😂😂😂😂😂... and... Chinese Aircraft too.... 😂😂😂😂😂

[sorennilsson]

The absence of Jas 39 E and F is rather surprising since it contains tech that is superior to many of the fighters here. GaN tech in its E warfaire suite, a new structure in its aviation suite that is now being copied by the USA, UK, France and so on for their future fighters, the worlds newest IRST system far superior to any here existing fighters the F 35 excluded, 7 different radar antenas puting its detection in the class of a SU 57, a 360° missile detection capability a computer capability only bested by the F35 and on it goes.

NGAD has already flown then it will be the boss.

[aranklogu]

If you don't know specifications & capabilities of Chinese jet fighter why put them at no.2 spot? This is bs.

[KodingKuma]

I don't think this is ordered correctly.

[MJ-YT-USR]

This is the first such video I've seen that doesn't put the F22 at No.1. That was a surprise.

[jws]

I mis the FA/18 Hornet and the Jas 39 grippen....

Before Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, its carrier based aircraft had little practical experience, but it ultimately succeeded. Similarly, the US Navy had no practical experience before counterattacking the Japanese. But in the end, it defeated the Japanese navy.

Before saying that the J-20 has no practical experience, does the F-22 have practical experience? What is used to compare them now is just a series of data. No matter how ridiculous you may think, if the F-22 itself doesn't have a major upgrade, it would be like a celebrity sports car from the 1990s. The J-20 was designed to deal with the F-22, and one of its main tasks is to confront it. With China's continuous improvement in core components, such as engines, radars, and anti-aircraft missiles, the frequency of J-20 updates will be much higher than that of F-22. And after one version, it surpassed the F-22 overall.

So I think the current version's ranking should be:
1. F-22 2. J-20 3. F-35

The final version ranking should be
1. J-20 2. F-35 3. F-22

Hi, can you make a comparison about ejection seats?

[terrywainman]

The typhoon speed is 1, 550 mph and as a service ceiling of above 65, 000 ft

[Elthenar]

I am very skeptical that the J-20 is more advanced than the F-22. Even though the 22 is much older, it's stealth is still much more advanced. There is a good chance it's radar and engines are better too.

The J-20 uses some tech stolen from the US but it's largely modeled on the Russian 5th gen fighters that appear lower on the list.

[Richard-vtit]

What everyone fails to see is while the rest of the world is building 5th gen aircraft the United States is building 6 gen and designing7 gen fighters.

POPPING RAPTORS!

you just got the Balloon achievement 🏆

[sanitasfitness]

Stealth version of the Rafale? Wow... never knew...
