Usually rockets and missiles are capable of higher speeds than fighters.
In particular the air to air missiles used by fighters in combat against other fighters cannot be outrun, this is why fighters have defense systems like flares (for heat seaker) and chaff (for RADAR guided) to trick the guidance system into turning away from its target.

What is faster a fighter jet or sound?
A fighter jet can be faster than the speed of sound.
What tarvles faster than a jet plane?
a rocket travles faster than a jet plane
Is the speed of fighter plane higher than the speed of rocket?
Most rockets are much faster than fighter aircraft.
How f15 jet can go faster than sound?
Any modern jet fighter can go past the speed of sound.
What is the width of a fighter jet?
Depends what type of fighter jet it is
How faster than sound is the f16 fighter jet?
It will fly approximately twice the speed of sound.
Which is the fastest between jet and rocket?
A rocket can go faster than a jet because it does not have to deal with the problem of supersonic shock waves blocking the airflow in the intake and thus putting the engine out. However the rocket must carry its own oxidizer.
Who invented the fighter jet?
Messerschmitt AG invented the first fighter jet.
What is faster jet or rocket?
When comparing the jet and the rocket, the rocket is the winner. Let's jump around a bit and see. Fighter jets are pretty fast, but the air-to-air missles that they use to shoot each other down are faster. There are scramjets with engines that don't work below mach 1, so the things must be launched off the nose of a rocket. But these scramjets, though they reach speeds of 8,000 to 9,000 miles per hour, are unmanned. Then there are the missles that carry space folks into orbit. They must reach speeds in excess of 16,000 miles per hour. The rockets have the edge in speed.
Can a jet fighter fire its canons while flying faster than the speed of sound?
Yes, a jet fighter can fire its cannons while flying faster than the speed of sound. The bullets fired from the cannons can also travel faster than the speed of sound, effectively hitting the target even when the jet is flying at supersonic speeds.
Who invented the first fighter jet?
Messerschmitt AG invented the first fighter jet.
Has any one gone faster than the speed of sound?
Plenty of people have gone faster than the speed of sound by now. All astrounauts, most fighter pilots, all passengers who ever flew on the Concorde. One guy jumping from a balloon. One or two drivers of jet/rocket cars.
