Fighter aircraft
are small
military planes
that are made to fight other
airplanes
. They are often fast, having aerodynamic shapes (shapes that make them move through air easily) and very powerful
engines
for their size.
Fighters may carry many different kinds of
weapons
, including
missiles
,
machine guns
, and
bombs
. Fighters may be used as
attack aircraft
to attack
vehicles
,
soldiers
, or
buildings
on the ground. They are different from
bombers
because they are mainly designed to fight other airplanes.
Specialized fighters have been made, such as night fighters, interceptors, and
air superiority fighter
s.
Fighter aircraft also usually are maneuverable (turn well).
- To counter the speed of modern aircraft, some surface ships are being designed with laser weapons.
- In the
Russian invasion of Ukraine
ground-to-air missiles are used against fighter planes.
