I assume that it will fire it’s BVR missiles and then run. I don’t know if it will hold its own against any adversary. I posted the article because I thought it interesting. However, one pilot review does not make for a good assessment of the true capabilities.
I talked to a former USMC>>AF pilot who flew every fighter plane in the US fighter inventory from the A-4 up to but not including the F-22.
He did fly ACM against the F-22, and he said: “The F-22 was a club, and everything we flew against it was a baby seal.”
THAT left an impression on me!
