The F-15 can’t hold a candle to the F-22 or F-35 and I’m not sure about China’s stealth fighter. Eagle pilots say in red/blue mock dogfights, they never even see the F-22 or F-35 when they get the signal that they have been shot down.
The F-15 is the most successful fighter ever but it’s days are numbered.
You have to be kidding. At this point a 35 cannot beat a 15 OR a 16 except is very staged and canned events.
It is slower than both, less maneuverable than both, less reliable than both, carries FAR less fuel and weapons than both.
USAF and Lockheed propaganda notwithstanding... in a real situation, it has no chance against the ships it’s replacing. The 22 is a very different story.
And any chance the 35 has against something else is to be hidden and fire BVR. Coincidently, our forces have almost never had ROE that allows BRV shooting. It’s rare to unheard of.
The 35 is a national embarrassment.
