Jets and aircraft after the Cold War

[Viking1066]

I find some really cool aircraft that are after the Cold War, so I started this to kind of fill that space. if we have a different name for it, then we can move it there. Here are two pictures to get started.

Régiment de Chasse was the denomination during WW 2 following soviet practise.

That's a good idea, there are tons of interesting jets that came after the Cold War but don't always get talked about. Curious to see what people share here - stuff like the F-22 and Eurofighter really show how much tech jumped forward in just a decade.
