Answer 4

Don't think it's the jet.

That make it a success.

Look in the real world.

With what we have out there.

The I-Robot with A.I?

The dead Mummy with empty skeleton of skull and bones with two empty eye sockets?

The defective, malfunction humanoids?

Or The Top Gun?

At the control?

In winning the "Star wars"?

Luke 8.5-8,10-17

What do you think?

Answer 5

Either U.S.A or Israel.

Answer 6

The US of course.

The best fighter now, is the F-22.

But the best fighter of the last 20 years,

Is the F-15

It is 102 - 0 in air to air combat.

Answer 7

F22 is probably the best at the moment... I'd like to say the Eurofighter Typhoon, but it just isn't as good as the F22.

Although I wish people would stop going on about supercruise.  It's hardly new is it? Concorde was doing supercruise from the early 70's.

Answer 8

Are you in the market for one?

US/Israel from non-classified sources, like History Channel. It could be others too!

Answer 9

UK

Answer 10

F22 of the USA right now is the best fighter out there.

It can fly super cruise without having to resort to an after burner.

it is stealthy.

It has vectored thrust and can turn faster than older jets.

It has the most advanced air to air avionics made.

And it has a few unadvertised advantages.  

Answer 11

usa

Answer 12

F-22 Raptors. It is a stealth fighter jet that can track hundreds of target at the same time

Answer 13

A lot of answers are being thrown out here. USA is correct. But the real strength is in the AWACS. It allows special management of an air war. Without AWACS, USAF planes would be much less effective.

I'd say the F22 is the best fighter. But YF23 was so much cooler. You know it would have been the Black Widow II?

flubster: Very good point. Russian aircraft have always been much more maneuverable than US ones. But their weakness is avionics. The US has the very best avionics, and in a war of missiles the avionics are the deciding factor.

Answer 14

the united states air force is the most advance and largest in the world. they are actually the ONLY country to have stealth technology on their planes.

Answer 15

RAF are the best air force but the US do have better jets and technology.

Answer 16

Well the F22 Raptor looks like its going to be pretty much invincible when it can take on F15's and win convicingly.

F15's we are talking about here - one has NEVER EVER been lost in combat.

Mind you - you just don't kow what the Russians ever really truly have - looky here:

Su 27 anyone...?

Answer 17

ill say america because they got almost the best of everything  

Answer 18

The F22 is followed very closely by the french Rafael

doesn't matter though since most french radars and missiles are garbage... the mica may be improving that but it's doubtful

Answer 19

Answer 20

korea  

Answer 21

No F-15 has ever been lost in combat, primarily because of its radar, weapons package, and avionics. It's better as an air superiority fighter than the best in anybody else's inventory, and it routinely gets clobbered by the F-22 in training exercises. That makes the latter more than a generation better than anybody else can afford to build.

Answer 22

The Euro Fighter is the most up to date but the American F15 would probably come out on top most times in a dog fight.
