F-18 Hornet.
This is a jet that is now in widespread operational service with the armed forces of the united States of America and its NATO and other Allies, but it is relatively overlooked by the mainstream. Many of the current Russian Federation equivalents such as the MiG-33 and Sukhoi Su-27 are compatible, perhaps more on paper than actually ever seeing combat actions?
The McDonnell-Douglas FA-18 Hornet became operational in 1983 for the US Marine and Naval corps and was designed to be based on Aircraftcarrier fleet. There are various different types available and they have been exported to both Australia and Canada.
Speed is 1.8 Mach, armaments a six barrel 20-mm canons and 9 wing positions for side-winder air to air missiles and other stand-off weapons.
