1. F-35 Lightening II (USA).







The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II(The Invisible) is a family of single-seat, most powerful single-engine, all weather stealth multirole fighter. The fifth generation combat aircraft is designed to perform ground attack and air defense missions.
It has the ability to land vertically and takeoff on short runways

The F-35 has a 43,000 pound thrust class engine which pushes the aircraft to 1.6 times the speed of sound and 700 nautical mph.

The F-35’s unprecedented stealth capabilities can render it “virtually undetectable” to radar.


"When we want to fire a missile or drop a bomb, the doors open, the bomb falls out, the doors close and the plane is back to being invisible again," Mr Flynn said.

Waiting!

bring it on
though am already feeling disappointed in advance
US, Kremlin & China all are working on space-age projects that'd blow your socks just to see but we'll never know, will we?

Just in time

1. F-22 Raptor (USA).

$150M



The F-22 Raptor developed by Lockheed Martin and Boeing is a single-seat, twin-engine fifth-generation extremely advanced tactical fighter. The stealth, integrated avionics and superior performance make the F-22 super-manoeuvrable fighter.

Inducted by the US Air Force (USAF) as an air-superiority fighter, the F-22 evolved into multimission fighter aircraft.
The aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but also has ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence capabilities.

Takes a seat quietly.

3. Eurofighter Typhoon.



Eurofighter Typhoon is a new generation multirole fighter aircraft that is presently one of the best in the world. It is a foreplane / delta wing aircraft integrating modern avionics and sensors, Defensive Aids Sub System (DASS) and distinct weapons, such as Mauser BK-27 27mm cannon, air-to-air, air-to-surface and anti-ship missiles and precision-guided munitions. Eurofighter Typhoon's development is Europe's largest multinational military collaborative effort managed by the Nato Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA).

Alpha Jet and MIG16 are old fighterr planes. They can never be compared to F-16 talkless of the F-22 Tomcat.

Hope you're going to include the F-117 stealth fighter jets?
