From the Mach 2.83 MiG-31 to the F-22, these are the 5 fastest fighter jets still in service—and why speed still matters in modern air combat.

The F-15E was the first American warplane shot down by Iran in the five-week war and a crew member is missing. A second U.S. combat plane crashed in the Gulf region and its pilot was rescued, U.S. officials said.

The downing of the American planes came two days after U.S. President Donald Trump said in a national address that the United States has “beaten and completely decimated Iran.”
