20 Fastest Military Jets in The World
20. F-100 Super Sabre Military Aircraft
The F-100 Super Sabre was America’s answer to the future of air-to-air superiority in the mid-1950s. Equipped with a single Pratt Whitney J-57-P-21 turbojet, it would face off against the latest generation of Soviet MiGs over the Korean Peninsula and prevail at an astounding success rate. This is an example of an American-made fighter jet built for speed and dog fighting. It would go on from Korea to the jungles of Vietnam where it became the first USAF jet fighter to engage enemy aerial jets. The F-100s on that mission were escorting the F-105 Thunderchief, which would eventually take over for them. F-100s were lovingly referred to as “Huns”, a shortening of their full designation, and would go on to serve 25 years in the United States Air Force.
