| Russian engines also have some notoriously short operational lives.

| The MiG-25 Foxbat had to have its engines changed after virtually every mission.

| That's a hell of a beast!
I love that plane, it's so no-frills it barely works.
The new Mig-31 is more advanced, but that's for pansies. | |

| MiG-31s would decimate MiG-25s in a head-to-head battle. The Foxhound has better sensors and better weapons.

Country:  | I will have to say the Me-262. It set the standard for past jets and even set the standard for many of the first post war jets. Tha Arado was also a great plane. It was a remarkable bomber and looked awesome too. I think there were many other German X-planes that could have been great also if they had just finished them.

Country: | I disagree, so many Luftwaffe jets were the basis for aircraft used today. The A-10 and the Stealth bomber are 2 of them that really stand out.

Country:  | Im with Adler, planes such as the 262 and Go-229 were by far the pioneers. I believe I read somewhere that the Brits studied a 262 when they were designed the post-war Meteors.

Country: | A lot of nations used the 262 as a basis. Look at the Japanese I dont know what they called there version and the russians did too, both basically copied the 262.

Ehhh....
The -25 is faster, anyway...
Like I said, the Foxhound is more advanced, but I prefer the Foxbat. | |
