10 Oldest Fighter Jets That Are Still In Service (2022)
Vložit

- We all love the new and advanced aircraft. But what are some of the longest-serving and oldest fighter jets still in service within the military?
Of course, if a military wants to keep an edge on the battlefield, it has to operate on the newest and the most advanced tech available. But sometimes that is simply not possible. Budgets might be too small, or the political situation too inconvenient to buy new fighter jets. So, old ones have to remain in service.
Old does not mean bad, though. First, jets can be well kept and maintained, and be as capable as they were when they first appeared. Second, they can be - and mostly are - upgraded with newer and better engines, radars, weapons, and other systems, keeping just an old shell with all-new capabilities. Third, and most important - most surviving aircraft of old models are of newer and advanced variants, introduced just before the model went out of production. Finally, we have to keep in mind that pilots, infrastructure, and tactics are what wins a fight, and characteristics - such as age - of a fighter jet is just one of many variables on a battlefield.
But it is an interesting variable nonetheless, so, let’s see what are the oldest fighter jet models still operational. This list is based on its introduction into service, and an aircraft has to belong to a category of fighter jets - meaning a design optimized for air-to-air combat, usually with ground attack capability. There are many caveats to that, but we will discuss them as we go along.

Where did you find information that Mig's 17 is used in Poland? after all, they were withdrawn from service in 1992
Similar to the mig 21, it was decommissioned in the CZECH REPUBLIC!!! in 2005. :D
Tương tự như MiG 17 của Việt Nam, Không quân Việt Nam đã loại biên MiG 17 từ năm 1977 rồi. Sau đó đã thay thế bằng Su 22M3/M4.
@@SUNNYSTARSCOUT365
The same was done in Poland, the LIM-6 was replaced with the Su-22M4.
At no point does the narrator say Poland still uses the MiG 17.
My father was a vet served 57 to 72 .
He flew many missions.
And 3 of these amazing machines..he was a man among men..very brave
Old is gold these old machines can fight till they get phased out. Our IAF Mig 21 Bison did shoot down a PAF F16 in LOC
It was his luck
And only idiots like u say that cause in this world modern weapons have the advantage and that s why India is scared of China cause they have advance weapons .I'm an indian but I stay with the truth .
@@cryptotruth1185 Chinese
@@cryptotruth1185 I wouldnt be so certain about the superiority of so called modern weapons. Despite what you read and hear Soviet fighters are still effective. I read that a Mig 25 shot down a F18 during one of the Iraq wars.
@@cryptotruth1185 you win a war with skills not with luck
Thank you for the most interesting material and your good language
Very interesting. Thanks for researching, creating and posting this.
Mirage V, MiG 25 and SU-17/22 are fairly "modern" by their standard year of induction and the upgrades available for them. still if you wish to add them , no worries .
Some Other jets you missed (Before 1970s)
T-33 Shooting star ( Last retired in 2017 by Bolivian Air force)
Mirage F1 (Still in use by Air forces of Gabon, Libya, Morocco, Iran)* (Can count it or not)
A-4 Skyhawk (still in use by Argentine Air force and Brazilian Air Force)
F-104 starfighter (Last retired by Italian Air force in 2004)
Hawker Hunter (Last retired by Lebanese Air force in 2014)
B 57 Canberra (Still in use by NASA)
Harrier VTOL (Spain and Italian Naval Air wing)
MiG 23 . (Active use in Libya)
haven't checked in a bit but isn't the Av8 harrier still used by the US Marines???
@@burroaks7 the licensed variant is a modernised one btw in service with USMC introduced in late 1970s . the original model is still in service with Italian and Spanish navy. All planes I mentioned have made their flights as well as inducted into service before 1970s.
@@patriotenfield3276 IIRC the only Harriers in Spanish and Italian Service are AV-8B II +'s
@@theeasternspy266 correct. But they also still use the original jet models with few modifications made into it.
@@patriotenfield3276 you might want to check your sources again. Spain only has AV-8Bs in service, the older model Harrier Is have been gone for years. The Italians have only ever operated the AV-8B.
The Douglas A4 Skyhawk must be in this list as well.
F-5 Tiger, one of my favorite jet fighters ever! As a defense secretary of some random nation I'd get them just to use as trainers if for no other reason but they'd also be great as all-around interceptors.
Ugly as f.ck it is
They're pretty dangerous to fly
I guess the "China" using the F5 mentioned in the video probably is the Republic of China a.k.a. Taiwan
The MiG 25 was developed as an interceptor, not an attack fighter, aimed at the XB-70 and the SR-71, the latter which it was ultimately incapable of intercepting. Its follow on, the MiG-31 Foxhound was an improved version, but still fell sjort of the SR-71's speed and altitude capability. Fear of the Foxbat spawned the F-15 air superiority fighter and the last USSR-USA arms race was on! The limitations of the Foxbat became known in detail when Victor Balenko defected to Japan in his MiG-25.
North Korea still uses the Mig-15, so it's still in service
Why did you typed china instead to Taiwan in no .7
Threats from the CCP?? 😁
Taiwan is internationally recognized part of PRC, currently occupied by USA
Idk if anybody cared for this
Spitfires and Hawker Hurricane are still in service with the Royal Australian Air Force Cadets and the Lancaster and Catalina.
Are those jet powered?
@@jasonpeacock9735 no
The brittish still operate swordfish too.
But again not jet powered
6:26 at the mig 19 it says that it is used in czechoslovakia that country hasn't been a thing for decades
Amazing
The Algerian Air Force is the Today's only operator of the Mig-25(-PDS Version),it was removed from Service by the Russian Air Force, it was als confirmed that The Syrian Arab Air Force removed it too in 2016, and Libya since the fall of Gaddafi they were some of them flying but today they are unable to make them fly and a bit expensive to maintain.
The source that you looked at it seems to be from 5 years old.
How about listing the number still in service with each country? Interesting video but fell short.
Very oooold information
Cho hỏi kênh lấy thông tin ở đâu Việt Nam vẫn còn sài MiG 17 vậy??? Tui là một người VN và tui biết rằng Không quân Việt Nam đã loại biên MiG 17 bằng Su 22M3 vào năm 1977 rồi.
That's why there is proverb that says Old is gold
The information in this video is very bad. Czechoslovakia no longer exists. As a country, it disintegrated in 1989. There are only Slovak and Czech republics. We have not used the fighters you identified in this video for more than 30 years. Likewise, neither Poland nor the several countries you have here ..you have very bad information and ridicule countries. Please check again.
Man this video should have made prior to 2014
The Hawker hunter was still in military use in the lebanese airforce
The RAF still use Hunters, Mk58s originally supplied to Switzerland and now in full RAF markings operated by contractors.
Harrier?
The older the faster and time durable, nowadays you buy something it breaks down
Thanks.
Ấn tượng nhất là MiG 21, máy bay chiến đấu huyền thoại của Liên Xô trong chiến tranh Việt Nam.
Mig 17 is not used in Poland for almost 30 years.
Same with Mig 19 in Bulgaria . We got rid of them in the 80ties. You can only see them in a museum or left as monument on a pole. We still use Mig 29 and SU 25. The 29s are about to be decommisioned.
We do have a few 21s left in "reseve" , but the last time 1 of them flew was for "official last flight" in 2015. After that they ware stuck in a shead and forgotten.
What you label as a Mirage V is an Israelian Kfir, whereas what you label as a Mirage III is indeed a Mirage V.
You are right. The plane depicted is a Kfir C2, not a Mirage V. The Kfir is more capable airplane with a GE J79 engine and better performance (Manch 2).
MiG 19 in Czechoslovakia...? Still in Service? 🤔
Czechoslovakia is no more.
Mig 25 is still the world's fastest attack fighter
interceptor *
Don't forget SR 71 fighter version
as Server stated INTERCEPTOR not a attack fighter..... also the YF-12 never made it past the 'Y' designation and if it did it wouldn't of been a good fighter at all it wasn't built or designed for that role in any sense
@@diecastworld7962 never went into production or for that matter ever made it past prototype , regardless would of made a horrible fighter with a turning radius of 86 miles.......
INTERCEPTOR
The Mig21 and Mig17 are still fine jets if the expected opponent is your own civilians
The Mirage III was the first Mach 2 fighter?
IIRC the F-4 was retired from service with the JASDF last year
F5 Northrop is serve in Taiwan, not China.. or The Buzz is siding with China..
Isn’t the official name of Taiwan the Republic of China?
@@jasonpeacock9735 Official name: Republic of China. Technicality name: Taiwan.
why is the jets text mirrored? mistake
It is a good video, thanks very much, However, the No.8 that you mentioned as Mirage V it is a Kfir C2, more capable than the Mirage. It has a GE J79 engine and Mach. 2 capability.
The MiG 17 was withdrawn from the Polish Air Force 30 years ago
¿What about the Douglas A4 Skyhawk with the first flight in 1954? You missed something.
Mig aircrafts dominate in the list
Must be good
Because they are the best of best
They were cheap and heavilly subsidized by the USSR for export.
@@rogersmith7396 Shit hole countries like North Korea can't afford anything more recent.
@@raypurchase801 Rocket man has all the money.
MiG 21 was also used by Iraq and Egypt
MIG 17? they still use 2nd generation fighter? 😂😂😂
MiG 17 là máy bay chiến đấu thế hệ thứ nhất nhé, không phải thứ hai 😆😆😆
@@SUNNYSTARSCOUT365 2 generation
mig 15 is still being used in north korea 🙁
Mig 17 is 2.5 gen.
The MiG 19 can't be in service in Czechoslovakia because the country doesn't exist since 1992 😉
What about the Sea Harrier. Don’t the USMC still use it?
As far as I know, Sea Harriers were used only by UK.
@@currololo AV8 Harrier?
@@raypurchase801 That's right, but Sea Harriers were only for the Royal Navy.
@@currololo 100% correct. I'm surprised the Harrier fails to make this list, given the type's origins with the Hawker prototype of the mid-sixties.
You sure the F-5 is used by China? China, of all places, importing US jets? HMM
Also, the F-4 Phantom II is not used by the US anymore. Only Greece, Turkey and Iran uses them.
WOW, Russia got most of the jet fighters in the list, they built them to last a long time in service.
The users are to cheap to replace them.
India decommissioned mig25 15 years ago smh
北朝鮮では未だにmig-15が一部稼働状態だったような
What about draken?
Taiwan 🇹🇼 use F-5 fighter/ strike aircrafts not China 🇨🇳 never use it but Vietnam still use F-5 fighter/strike aircrafts as get parts & engines even used F-5s . Iraq 🇮🇶 are no longer use Russia made Foxbat interpreter aircrafts because USA removed em then shipping em to USA also Libya had gave up then gave couple of unflying Foxbat interpreter aircrafts to USA then sent em to USA . Israel use France made fighters then developed copy aircraft as own after France stopped sell em to Israel . Countries are use USA made F-4 fighter/ interpreter / strike aircrafts countries and Poland in Eastern Europe are no longer use older Russia aircrafts lack of parts and engines . Russia still use older Foxbat interpreter aircrafts but no longer use spy missions but will be retirement soon as new advanced Mach 4+ MIG-41 interpreter aircrafts ( true about Mach 4+ aircraft ??? )
I laughed when I saw F-5 in China. The CCP will be totally against this as Taiwan is not mainland China.😂
@@frankchan4272 Taiwan officially is the Republic of China
Douglas A-4 Skyhawk?
What kind of bull shit was that? Instead of mentioning Taiwan you deliberately mentioned China (Number 7). Unsubscribing and Disliking!
I think this would only be because it's know as "Republic of China - Taiwan"
Poland is still using su-22
AV8 Harrier?
Awesome 😎
Where are u guy take this information? Mig 17 are out of service in Vietnam for a long time!
All of your illustrations were printed backwards. The North American F-100 was the first supersonic jet fighter.
This is not a mirage V. It is nasher (Israel built mirage III)
one more : poland have Mig 17 ( rather Lim 5 ) several planes - in museum 😅
Hello buzz
Sukhoi is king
It's not true... Douglas A4 is still in use in Argentine Air Force
The A-4 isn’t a fighter
Uhmmmm only because all the migs are so popular is because the Soviets were selling everything they had for dirt cheap and none of them stand a chance in modern days no matter how many revisions they go though
The F-5 is in service of TAIWAN, not China.
Taiwan is the Republic of China
Mikoyan *Guverich.
✌️😎👌
And in my country we have some flying coffin
Kfir???
A4 skyhawk?
Mirage F1?
Spectar Jaguar?
"Fighters". The A-4 and Jaguar are attackers. The Kfir is 5 years after the MiG-25 and the F1 entered service 3 years after the MiG-25
@@ryanweintraub9448 the Su 17 and Su 7 are attackers as well
@@kamoinar1905 Su 7 was a Fighter. and Su17 was a fighter attacker. kind of like the FA 18.
Jaguar indian airforce...only
North Korea uses even older ones
Funny how CZcams took out the number of dislikes. This video is BS. She missed so many more aircraft as always, and added aircraft that have not been used in 10 plus years with wrong pictures.
Much of what The old Soviet Union built in fighters were airframes put together with non flush rivets. One pilot who flew his mig defecting to a US base showed us just how far behind in technology and air plane design. This happened sometime in the mid 1070's.
It was a stainless steel aircraft so non flush rivers did not matter and it was still faster than sr71
there's so much wrong in this vid ... even the pics are mirrored ^^
What did you expect ? It's a video from The Buzz
I think it will be mig 15
Hello my friend
I have some questions
1- Is it possible to make money from CZcams by making this type of video?
2. What software do you use to make these videos?
Почти весь список... Это галоши
Mirage 3 and 5 were used in retaliatory role lately in 2019 by Pakistan against India. Because of their speed, successfully mirages dropped their payload on targets. While the Indian air force chased them, Pakistan air force's F16s, shotdown mig 21 and SU 35. In confusion, Indians shot their own mi17 helicopter which had gone to rescue crew of SU 35.
IAF and Su 35?? Su 35 lost to Dassault Rafale and the winner is now in IAF . also no. F -16s were rushing in to Retaliate for the Balakot attack which "allegedly killed 450 crows and trees" when they saw two MiG 21s in their daily Patrol routine in the skies as interceptors. Su 30 MKIs were launched only after the Interceptor sent the message back to base to ask for reinforcements in the sky . not Mirage 3 but JF 17 were there to assist the F-16s in carrying out a retaliatory ground attack on Indian army base in case things go hot, which never . IAF lost a MiG 21 to a Sidewinder . PAF lost a F -16 to a R-73 which Russians and now Americans are slowly acknowledging .
@@patriotenfield3276 lmao what? What kind of cheap weed are you smoking to come to a conclusion of PAF losing a F-16? When all the missile seekers were found intact along with R-73s. You don't make half baked claims just like that.
India don't use Su35
@@darkace0387 Three question for you regarding those recovered missile.
1.Why the grainy image, especially since it’s of no help to a serious observer wanting to examine same for authenticity?
2. Why NO observers allowed to check on these missiles - up-close and personal?
3 .Why NO serial number of the recovered R-73 provided, not even a partial one?
@@Astra_BVR
1-They clearly invited acknowledged defense experts to check on the scraps of the Mig-21 bison, including the missile seekers. By any chance are you feeling like, you are better than defense experts? So the serial number would be provided for the likes of you?
2-The story of the serial number copium comes from a stupid Indian commentator to begin with who found nothing else to be off value but the serial number just to further blindly defend the second hand embarrassment.
Those experts had a job and they were there to do their job at the spot. Unlike random keyboard warriors on the internet.

what is country czechoslovakia ?🤣sorry this discredit for this statements
Rubbish video, narration doesn't tie up with images and a lot of the images are mirror image. I think that this is click bait (and I fell for it)
There are no MiG-25s in service anywhere and you never listed where any remaining MiG-17s could still be in service… North Korea most likely.
The video says that in Syria, Algeria, and Lybia they are supposedly not retired yet.
unsubscribed due to deliberate typo in no7
