Fighters can easily track slower aircraft with a weave, hi yoyo or orbit. They can also damage light aircraft with their wake. A fighter produces a large wake in proportion to it's size due to high wing loading. Add a high G loading and a fighter can produce a wake equal in power to an airliner. This has proven harmful to light aircraft in many instances.
