MiG-21 ( Russian ) Mach 2 .. 1960 versions

MiG-21 ( Russian ) Mach 2+.. 1970-1980 versions

MiG-25 ( Russia ) Mach 2.5.. 1965

( Can go Mach 3+ but engine will explode )

MiG-31 ( Russia ) Mach 2.7.. 1971

F-16/F-15 ( USA ) Mach 2 .. 1980 versions

F-16/F-15 ( USA ) Mach 2+.. 1990-2000 versions

Dogfight average flight speeds : Mach 0.5 to Mach 1.2

In Flight training : Mach 1 +

Mach 1 is = 1236 km/hr

Most modern Fighter Jets can speed beyond Mach 1.7.

For an Exotic read "The AURORA Program" sees the stealth aircraft evidence supporting Mach 8 and beyond.

It would depend on the jet itself. Each jet has a different engine (thrust production), weight, lift and drag component which all effect the top speed of fighter jets. For example the f18 hornet has a top speed of mach 1.8 (1190 kph) whilst the yet the mig 35 can get to mach 2.25(2400 kph)
