The very last use of turbojets became decrease back contained in the 70s or 80s, f-14, f-15, f-16 were all turbofans. even as the united kingdom took the f-4 they tossed the j79 turbojets and changed them with RR Spey turbofans. In Russia the Mig 25 used turboject in spite of the indisputable fact that the Mig 29 and each and everything considering has used turbofans. So no, they're all turbofans now, all it is distinct is the bypass ratio.

Boeings General Electric 90. Its not boeings but is used on the 777. Its a beast. They recently carried ONE of these on a 747. They shut down the other engines to flight test it and it managed to keep the Jumbo in the air all on its own. So yes its a Beast.

rolls royce vickers engines
the russians wanted to get their dirty hands on these engines, but the british wouldn't sell it to them.
until they played a game of pool (billiards) and the russians won a round and the british sold them 1 engine and they took that and reverse engineered it and put that engine in the MIG fighter plane.
the first MIGs had Rolls Royce engines in it.
they flew over North Korea and then they sold those planes to the Chinese and Vietnam.
