Yes, they doesn't run the engine backwards, but they extend some panel is witch the trust is send to the opposite direction. This is how planes can brake during landings.

What airplanes do the airforce use?
Military airplanes with big, powerful jet engines and lots of things that go boom!
Can a plane reverse?
Certain airplanes such as the Harrier, can float still, spin and reverse in mid air. This is due to vector thrust engines that have rotating exhausts and louvers that can be pointed downward
What is reverse thrust in a 777 landing?
When airplanes fly, the exhaust gasses from jet engines go behind the engine and push the airplane forward. When the airplanes land on the runway, the directions of the exhaust gas from the engine is changed so it pushes forward. Instead of making the plane go forward, it starts trying to make the plane go into reverse. As a result, it slows down the airplane. That slows down the airplane much faster than just using the brakes would.

What is the mission of the airplanes that leave contrails?
To be an airplane with jet engines? All jet airplanes leave contrails.
