V Angleška električna strela je nadzvočno lovsko letalo hladne vojne. Zasnovana je bila, razvita in izdelana v angleškem Electricu, ki ga je nato absorbiralo novoutvoren British Aircraft Corporation. Nato so ga tržili kot BAC Lightning. Strela je bila edina britanska lovska letala Mach 2. Strelo sta uporabljali Kraljevo letalstvo (RAF) in Kraljevo savdsko letalstvo (RSAF). Čeprav je bil glavni prestrezalec RAF-a več kot dve desetletji, nikoli ni bilo treba napasti drugega letala.

The English Electric Lightning F.53 was a variant of the British supersonic interceptor and jet fighter that was developed for export markets. It was sold to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, who used it for various roles such as interception, reconnaissance, and ground-attack. The F.53 had a unique design feature of having two vertically stacked Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines within the fuselage, which gave it exceptional performance and capability during the Cold War era.
The F.53 could reach speeds of above Mach 2 and had a range of about 800 km with external fuel tanks. It was armed with two 30 mm ADEN cannons and could carry various missiles, rockets, bombs, and pods under its wings. The F.53 was also equipped with a Ferranti AI-23 radar and an autopilot system. The F.53 served with the Royal Saudi Air Force until 1986 and with the Kuwait Air Force until 1977, when they were replaced by more modern aircraft.
