Your nation's first Jet-Powered military aircraft.

[The New Prussian Empire]

The first jet-powered aircraft of the Luftwaffe was the Me-262A-1, which first flew in August 1942 and was first deployed in combat on June 8th, 1943. The Me-262 series had fully replaced the Bf-109, Fw-190D models, and Ta-152s by December 1950, and remained the main Luftwaffe fighter until 1966, where it was replaced with McDonald Douglas F-4 Phantoms purchased from the US. It was fully retired in 1975.

[Vloskovia]

The first jet aircraft used by Vloskovia was a captured Heinkel He-162A-2.

The first jet aircraft developed in Vloskovia was the Szaflirov SB-46, first flown in 1948.

[Saurisisia]

That would be the Prehis P-210, dubbed the "Banshee" due to the scream of its jet engine. Originally a test aircraft, it was pressed into service in the early 1940s to combat the sudden rise of the UDR and was thus outfitted with a deadly arsenal of four 20mm cannons. Unfortunately, it proved to be a failure as it was simply not built for combat. It was quickly pulled out of service after two months' combat from June to August, 1940.

[Torsiedelle]

We also used the Me-262 during WWII, as our people were allied to the Germans. It is still in use today, in a modernized model known as the Me-262G, which is still the nations main fightercraft.

[Neo Prutenia]

Our first jet-aircraft was the Ohain Typ 2, whose comparable stats can be found in the link. It flew in late summer 1939. Combat version were developed later, and by the mid-40s there was a diverse arsenal of jet aeroplanes available. They were perfected as a combat platform in the 1950s, and have been the main part of our aircraft inventory since then.

[Nachfolgia]

The first jet fighter in the Nachfolgian Luftwaffe was the Messerschmitt ME-262 and was the primary fighter of the Luftewaffe until 1956 when it was replaced with a modified version of the American F-86 Sabre.

[Osaea]

The first jet fighter operated by the Osaean Air Defense Forces is the MiG-23MF interceptor, a later export variant of the MiG-23.



They were delivered in the mid 1980s. We were a little...late....to the jet fighter game. Osaea operates more modern interceptors (in even smaller numbers), but has no indigenous capability to manufacture them.

[Mallaska]

Mallaska's first jet-powered military aircraft was the Northrop F-89 Scorpion, entering service in 1951. It served until 1968, when it was fully pushed out from service by a new fleet of F-4 Phantoms and F-8 Crusaders. It's role as a fighter ended by 1963, when the F-100 Super Sabres took it's place, most F-89s were either sold for scrap, converted to small tankers, and even a few filling out the Ground-Attack role. In all, F-89s under Mallaskan service scored 22 confirmed aerial kills between 1951 and 1961, along wth the confirmed sinking of the KNS Sproven in 1964, an armed Kommovan cargo ship during the Theski Conflict between 1963 through 1966. The F-89 (in a ground-attack version) also scored 8 kills against ground targets in it's service life under Mallaskan banner. Mallaska operated a total of 360 F-89s.


Mallaskan F-89s resembled those of the United States Air Force, until 1957 when they received a new camo-scheme standard to all Mallaskan aircraft at the time.

[Herminia]

A few Me 262s were graciously shipped to us in secret by our glorious Vaterland, Germany during the latter stages of the war. After the war ended, we reassembled the aircraft and started producing them domestically. They continued to be employed by the Luftwaffe until the mid-50s when they were replaced by more advanced American aircraft, such as the Saber.

[Herador]

Herador received it's first jet fighters in 1952 from the America, starting a long tradition of Herador buying it's military aircraft from the United States.

[Lietuvos]

The Motorjet plane - as close to true jet-propulsion as the Lietuvan Republic yet has come. It has a conventional 500HP Piston Engine driving a three-stage axial compressor for the thermojet with variable pitch vanes, and that gets it to a mere 233mph at not above 4000 ft. The Proect was deemed practical, but inadviseable until a decent way of propulsion can be found. The Principles are sound, but the solution with the piston-engine isn't.

[Yulnovo]

The Yulnovo RAF first used the MiG-23 which was first used by the Airforce in 1980, currently we use the Eurofighter Typhoon.

[Songhia]

We started with the MiG-23, but now we've upgraded to the MiG-29, which we continue to use today.

[Radiatia]

The first jet fighter operated in Radiatia was called the F-100 "Angry Yak" and was manufactured in the 1950s by Skody Ordnance, Ltd.

The jets were operated by the then-fascist government of the "Radiatian Empire".

Around 180 were built, although for the most part Radiatia's research into jet fighters and military technology was severely hampered by the Second Radiatian Civil War, which began in the early 1960s, and Radiatia did not upgrade its technology or properly enter the arms race until well into the 1970s, with the communist regime of the "Radiatian People's Socialist Union" in full swing.

[Teddy Bear Republic]

Our first jet-powered military aircraft was the Teddy Aviation Industry T-48, developed in response to the Korean War in light of a new method of fighting. It was based on the SAAB Tunnan.

[Betalia]

The McDonnell F2H Banshee was the first Jet Aircraft used by the Betalian Air Force.

[Sedikal]

Sedikals first jet powered aircraft used by the Sedik airforce was the Messerschmitt Me 262.

[Grand Soviet Union]

Our first jet powered aircraft was the MIG-9 made in 1949 and retired in 1969

[Greater-Prussia]

I feel ironic...I'm the only German nation on this page who didn't use the Me-262.

The first jet-powered military aircraft of the Kaiserreich was the Soviet made Yakovlev Yak-17. Though towards the end of the Second World War we did seize a few Me-262s from the national socialist pigs who'd seized Germany these were never used by the Kaiserreich and were turned over to our allies in the Soviet Union who had the industrial capabilities at the time to reverse engineer them.

[Celynius]

The Celynian Air Defense first deployed and commissioned the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star. This plane served for eight years until the need was met by more advanced aircraft that rendered the fighters useless.

[Auskralian Republic]

In a crash-course jet program, we funneled billions of dollars to create a high-tech yet easily produced fighter jet capable of taking the fight to the enemy. The J-1 Meteorite was put into service in 1943 and would later be replaced in front line service, but would still be used for decades to come.

[Kalmarium]

We first began to use jet-powered aircraft during the later stages of WWII.

In conjunction with their German allies, Scandinavian engineers designed the HE-162D "Adler".
