    The US Air Force's F-22 and the newer F-35 are two of the most advanced air-to-air fighter jets in the world.
    Other countries have advanced jets as well, but those jets would still have their hands full with the F-22.

Air forces around the world have to wrestle with one simple but scary fact: Their fighters may have to go against the F-22 and, to maybe a lesser degree, the F-35, both fifth-generation stealth fighters equipped with modern, lethal air-to-air weapons and great sensors.

Based in the article, it looks like the only two that are not vaporware are China's J-20 and Russia's Su-57. And those might not be production-ready and all they're claimed to be (yet?).

Meanwhile, the F-22 is about to enter its 15th year of service and the various F-35 variants have been coming into service the past couple of years. The planes the article lists are probably 3-20 years from coming into service (well, maybe four of them ... I think the Iranian plane will never be more than huffery-puffery vaporware).
