agree  Werner Hehn: yes, it's a jet plane - could be military or civil. Strahlenflugzeug is pretty antiquated these days, Germans usually speak of "Jets" nowadays.

neutral  tectranslate ITS GmbH: Jet, sure, but why fighter? A Gulfstream IV is a Strahlflugzeug, but definitely not a fighter and so is an Airbus A320 and so is a Boeing 757 and so forth..

  -> thx for asking tect :) without more context this could also be a fighter (as in the Messerschmidt 262, the world's first jet fighter)
