All the big countries of the world have very powerful military power. Be it America, Russia, China and India. Fighter jets play a very important role in their military power. Because of this, a powerful fighter jet has become a necessity in today’s times. These are such weapons, which can destroy any location by being present in the air. Meanwhile, if we talk about the three most powerful fighter jets in the world, Russia’s Su-57 comes first. America’s F-35 is at second place and China’s J-20 ‘Mighty Dragon’ is at third place.
According to the report of Aerotime, the selection of the latest fighter jet ranking has been decided on the basis of the price of the jet, agility of the machine, use in combat and technical capabilities.
The greatest strength of the Russian Su-57
According to the report of Aerotime, the biggest strength of the Russian Su-57 is its extremely low-cost construction and its amazing agility. Due to its price of around 50 million dollars, it is considered to be the world’s cheapest 5th generation fighter jet. The thrust-vectoring system of its engine enables it to take sharp turns and perform complex maneuvers in the air. Stealth technology may not be on par with American aircraft, but sensors and weapon systems make up for its shortcomings to a great extent. This balance has made him the top fighter of 2025.
America’s F-35
America’s F-35 is at second place in this list. This aircraft is being operated by most of the countries across the world. Its real strength is its electronic warfare capability and sensor fusion technology, with the help of which it can work on multiple fronts simultaneously—espionage, bombing, combating enemy aircraft and electronic attack. Although its price is approximately $109 million, its performance and reliability have made it the most successful multi-role fighter in the world.
China’s J-20 Mighty Dragon
China’s J-20 ‘Mighty Dragon’ is in third place. It is larger in size than other stealth jets and its long-range combat capability gives it a distinct identity. Its design has been specially designed in such a way that it is less visible in enemy radar and can carry a large amount of weapons. The payload capacity of approximately 24,000 pounds makes it extremely powerful in its class.
Russia has the upper hand
Comparing these three aircraft, it is clearly visible that Russia’s Su-57 is ahead due to its cost and agility, America’s F-35 is very reliable due to modern technology, and China’s J-20 has the edge in long-range stealth combat. This ranking of 2025 shows that now in the world of fighter aircraft, not only stealth, but also cost, technology and multifunctional capability are playing a decisive role.
