military jets
Armed aerial vehicles
Military jets are aircraft powered by jet engines and designed for armed forces use—fighters, bombers, reconnaissance planes, and similar craft.
The term distinguishes these from commercial or private jets: Military jets scrambled to intercept the unidentified aircraft.
The phrase often appears in news coverage of defense spending, airspace violations, or combat operations.
