Which is the best fighter jet in the world? It's the question we get asked more than any other, and the honest answer is that "best" is really four or five different questions. Best at what? Against whom? Flown by whom?

We broke it down properly here:

F-22, F-35, F-15, Typhoon, Rafale or Gripen? We compare the best fighter jet in the world category by category, with combat data and real pilot quotes.

JUST IN: Russia is bringing something to Egypt it has never shown anyone. Rostec says the Su-57E will fly at the El Alamein International Airshow from 8 to 10 September, and it is promising a brand-new weapon on the export Felon. What is it, and who is the show really for?

Most aircraft are shaped by aerodynamics. The Short SC.7 Skyvan was shaped by what would fit inside it. A square-section fuselage, a full-width rear ramp, and looks only a cargo handler could love. First flown in 1963, this "Flying Shoebox" is still hauling skydivers, freight and troops more than six decades later. Some designs simply refuse to retire.

Here's something most people don't know: the jet-powered Shahed now has a jet-powered hunter. Ukraine's Alexa Spatium interceptor is built to chase down the fastest drones Russia sends – at a fraction of the cost of a missile. How it works, and why it matters for every MiG-29 pilot flying low over Ukraine tonight:

https://migflug.com/afterburner/alexa-spatium-ukraine-jet-interceptor-geran-drones-2026/

Russia’s jet-powered Geran drones cut Ukraine’s interception rate to 79 percent. Alexa Spatium, Kyiv’s first jet interceptor, is the answer.

A 1973-era heat-seeker just killed a modern Russian cruise missile.

A Ukrainian MiG-29 ran down a jet-powered Banderol at treetop height and put an R-60 into it — a missile designed when the Fulcrum was still a drawing-board sketch.

Low, fast, and no margin for error.

A Ukrainian MiG-29MU1 shot down a Russian Banderol cruise missile at extremely low altitude using an R-60 infrared missile from 1973. Footage and analysis.

The Cold War never became a war. It is easy to read that as proof the danger was overstated. It wasn't. On at least four occasions — Korea in 1950, Berlin in 1961, Cuba in 1962 and Able Archer 83 — the machinery built to stop a third world war came within hours of failing, and in one case a single officer's refusal to follow procedure is what stood between the world and a nuclear exchange. https://migflug.com/afterburner/four-closest-calls-nuclear-war-korea-berlin-cuba-able-archer/

Korea, Berlin 1961, Cuba 1962 and Able Archer 83. Four moments the Cold War nearly became a nuclear war, and the individuals who stopped it.

Here's something most people missed this week: France is quietly eyeing a next-generation fighter built together with Sweden. After years of FCAS drama with Germany, Paris and Stockholm may be about to redraw Europe's fighter map. What would a Rafale-Gripen successor even look like?

During Macron’s visit to Sweden, France signalled it is open to building the next European fighter with Saab after the FCAS programme collapsed.

JUST IN: A Chinese Y-20 tanker has refuelled an Egyptian Rafale over Egypt during Eagles of Civilization 2026 — the first time a French-built fighter has publicly taken fuel from a Chinese tanker. A small manoeuvre that quietly redraws part of the aerial map. Full story: https://migflug.com/afterburner/chinese-yy-20-tanker-refuels-egyptian-rafale-eagles-of-civilization-2026/

A PLAAF YY-20A refuelled an Egyptian Rafale at Eagles of Civilization 2026 — the first documented Chinese tanker to fuel a Western-built fighter.

JUST IN: The U.S. Navy wants its stealth combat drone back. Ten years after walking away from the X-47B, NAVAIR has issued an RFI for a carrier-capable Collaborative Combat Aircraft that can fight, not just watch. Full story:
https://migflug.com/afterburner/navy-cca-rfi-carrier-combat-drone-x-47b-ucav-2026/

The Navy’s new CCA RFI describes a stealthy, heavily-armed carrier combat drone — the X-47B UCAV capability it cancelled a decade ago.

Two fighters closing at over 1,000 mph. The whole fight is decided in the first three seconds after they pass each other. Here's what actually happens at the merge — and why the pilot who reacts second usually loses.

When two fighters pass canopy to canopy, the dogfight begins. Inside the merge and the energy game that decides who ends up in the gunsight.
