   • Eurofighter Typhoon. The Eurofighter Typhoon is true to its name and was built as a joint effort between European countries during the height of the Cold War in order to defend against the Soviet Union.
   • Grumman F-14 Tomcat. Though not widely discussed, there was some aerial combat during the Vietnam War. Russian MiGs were used by Vietnamese forces to harass American planes throughout the conflict.
   • Shenyang J-11. Many of the fastest planes in the world are knock-offs or even complete copies of similar designs. The Chinese Shenyang J-11 is based on a faster Soviet Union-era plane that is still in production.
   • MiG-23 "Flogger" The MiG-23, nicknamed "Flogger," is a Mach 2.35 bomber/fighter hybrid that can reach miles per hour at around 1553. This jet was produced by the Soviet Union in 1970 and while it no longer sees use with the current Russian armed forces, it is still employed by Indian and Sri Lankan defense forces.
