Meteor was a 1st gen jet. If the war had lasted longer, it would have faced 3rd gen jets. Essentially MiG-15s (the design was basically copied as-is after the war)

[@gratefulguy4130]

It would have also used a turbojet, so basically 1950s jet technology. Of course we can talk about material shortages, but then this is all theoretical and who knows what conditions would have lead to the war lasting longer?
