Fighter jets naturally far outrank commercial airliners in speed, especially considering this one was an F-22 "Raptor."
This jet is a product of the United States, with performance that goes without saying.
Even without activating the afterburners, it can achieve supersonic cruise for thirty minutes.
And its maximum speed hits a terrifying 2,410 kilometers per hour.
Even the most advanced jet airliners can barely reach a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour.
In other words, the speed of the F-22 is 2.4 times faster than that of the most advanced airliners.
Nevertheless, it would still take a full 4 hours to reach South Africa!
Because the distance from Huaxia to the South African border is over 9,000 kilometers!
This explains why Su Chen insisted on using Lang Sha to reach South Africa.
Using commercial flights, just from Huaxia to South Africa would take more than ten hours of flying.
And that doesn't even include the waiting time for the planes.
