During the late Sixties, the USA speculated that in the event of a nuclear confrontation with Russia, the Russians would be able to contain most US Bases within days. Some war mechanism was needed to topple the overwhelming power from the Soviets and the Americans found the solution : STEALTH

Today newer fighters being developed are coming in with all kinds of stealth goodies included – radar absorbent paint, composites, credible use of S-bend air intakes, supercruise capabilities, etc. while preexisting fighters are being geared up to 4+ + standard with inclusion of AESA and LPI capacity to scatter radar pulse to trip sensors of enemy fighters. The F-22 has supercruise capability of Mach 1.5+ , Eurofighter near Mach 1.
