Lol. Even a hack like me can see this thing has a large radar profile. Could it beat an F35? Maybe but doubtful. An F18 Super Hornet or F22 Raptor? Not a chance.

Their stuff is starting to all look exactly alike.

F-35 and Super Hornet, depends on pilot, circumstances, and on computers working perfectly. And it better happen BVR for the 35. Onside that, neither can out turn, accelerate, out run or out climb the Sukhoi. The 35 cannot outgun it.

The F-22 can handle the Sukhoi dependably, but we have fewer than 200.

Easily with radar jamming which negates the stealth advantage. The F35 is a pig in close range combat and the SU35 is very agile. The F35 is designed for long range radar guided missile combat using stealth to far out of detection range, but given the amount of jamming and outside radar that major powers will employ it may not be much of an advantage and a real fight will still require planes closing in order to use IR missiles and cannons. Nor will the F35 carry a very large combat load if it’s stealth config.

>An F18 Super Hornet or F22 Raptor? Not a chance.

Indeed. There’s nothing close to the F22. We need to restart production and install the new electronics systems from the from F35.

The su-35 will not beat a raptor.

Be a close match with a hornet. Probably a bigger threat to an f16.
