How fast does a military jet go?

Military jets can vary widely in speed depending on the type and model. For instance, fighter jets like the F-22 Raptor can reach speeds of around 1,500 miles per hour (2,414 kilometers per hour) or Mach 2.25. Other jets, such as the supersonic B-1B Lancer, can also fly at similar speeds. Generally, most military jets are designed to exceed the speed of sound, with many capable of reaching Mach 1 or higher.
