The entry of the new U.S. fighter jets the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightening are a revolution in aircraft design and technology, but they have come at a cost with delays and many teething problems? It is not clear what these problems actually are, because of all the secrecy surrounding their potentiality?
But they are state of the art and with the ever increasing threats from Iran, and N-Korea, if not Russia and China who respectively have developed their own sophisticated fighter jets N.A.T.O. nations such as the British Royal Air Force are in need of this equipment!
The main factor is no longer speed in the new fighters, but manoeuvrability and not to be seen, much of this came from the development of the F-117 and B-2, who were invisible to radar.
Russia has its Sukhoi SU-35/50 fighters which are a match for the U.S., while China has developed its own stealth jet, of which little is really known about. These nations have a history of great design and capability.
