Stealth fighters maintain invisibility during missile launches by using internal weapons bays that open for less than a second. Advanced features like serrated door edges, interior radar-absorbent coatings, and Lock-On After Launch technology ensure the jet remains a ghost on enemy radar.

‘Internal Weapons Bays’: How stealth fighters stay invisible even after launching missiles

High-G turns shake a fighter jet so hard that its radar loses some accuracy, tracking speed, and cooling efficiency. AESA systems still work, but performance drops slightly during extreme manoeuvres. Understanding why this happens reveals a hidden limit in modern air combat.

How high-G loads affect the radars and sensors of a fighter jet

The Tejas uses smart sensors, autopilot systems, and automatic pitch control to stay perfectly steady during climbs and descents. From elevator adjustments to flap compensation, the jet manages altitude with precise computer help far more complex than it appears from the cockpit.

Fighter pilot ejection is more complex than pressing a button. It takes 2-4 seconds with 12-16 G-force acceleration. Minimum ejection altitude 140 feet for ACES II, 100 feet for K-36DM. Parachute timing depends on altitude and airspeed sensors. One-third of fatalities delayed ejection.

India’s Tejas fighter jet uses advanced composites, titanium and aluminium-lithium alloys materials normally found in spacecraft. They make the jet lighter, stronger, more agile and harder to detect on radar, giving Tejas major performance and durability advantages over metal-built fighters.

Tejas uses relaxed static stability design for extreme agility. Digital computers control elevons, canards, and slats 40 times per second at all speeds. Elevons control pitch and roll. Canards provide additional pitch control on Mk2. Rudder manages direction at high speed.

The American F/A-18 Super Hornet and the French Dassault Rafale M are both multirole fighter jets. While both excel in combat roles, their performance, technology, and design reveal notable differences. Here is a comparison of speed, range, radar, and real-world performance.

F/A-18 Super Hornet vs Rafale: 6 key differences between these advanced fighter jets

Fighter jets are important for the strength and defence of any nation. Some countries have built very large fleets to protect their skies and project power globally. Here are the top five countries with the largest number of fighter jets.

A fresh rocket barrage was launched toward the northern Israeli city of Haifa just moments ago, with sirens sounding across the city and nearby towns. This attack follows a day of intense bombardment, during which approximately 85 rockets were fired at Haifa in what has been the largest barrage on the city since the conflict began. The renewed assault comes shortly after Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Naim Qassem, delivered a televised address, asserting that despite the “painful blows” inflicted by Israel in recent weeks, the Iran-backed group’s military capabilities remain intact. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, with tensions continuing to rise across the region.

Israeli forces have claimed to have killed 250 Hezbollah fighters amid escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. The statement comes as clashes between Israeli troops and Hezbollah have intensified, with both sides exchanging heavy fire. While Israel asserts these significant losses, Hezbollah has yet to confirm the figures. The situation has raised concerns of a broader conflict in the region.

Rebels from the ethnic Tutsi-led m23 movement are blocking the two main roads into Goma from the north and the west and preventing produce from getting through. Goma's population has swelled in recent days with people running from the advancing fighters. Re-elected president Felix Tshisekedi is now dealing with a multi-pronged crisis....one from the capital and the other from the countryside, will he be able to stem the rebellion? Only time will tell.
