Who knows what kind of aircraft we have that we haven’t seen yet.

[ontap]

Well Carter cancelled the B-2.....when Ted Cruz is elected we’ll get plenty!!!!!!!

[laplata]

That’s right. Ronny Reagan brought back the B-2. And they came in handy.

Chi-coms have probably already stolen the plans for its successor.

[Talisker]

Yes. Why else do you think Obama cancelled it?

LOL - bingo.

[laplata]

Awesome! Thanks, ontap.

Sure we just didn't sell them to them?

I would think the Russians have most of our classified avionics and countermeasures data.. I would guess that the F22 is better though, avionics/countermeasures(ECM)-wise, but the SU35 is more agile. But does agility really matter when the other guy can shoot you down from miles away? Hmmm. The SU35 definitely makes for a better airshow whereas the F22 is comparatively boring. But in war, F22 probably has the edge.

Thanks. I was going by Wickipedia.

Well, it looks like one F-22 could take out all 6 SU35’s.

"Who knows what kind of aircraft we have that we haven’t seen yet."

Hey, that's 'America pre-Obama' mindset! Get with it! Although there was that previously unknown stealth helicopter we dropped at Bin Laden's house.. I do believe the Aurora bomber exists, and has for years:

But here is the GREATEST AIRCRAFT EVER BUILT, CIRCA 1957:

SR-71, YEAH!!!!!!

It was a bit hypnotic, like watching an aquarium fish swim around a tank. A fish, instead of a bird because the craft performed maneuvers that a bird could not or would not do. Thanks for posting the link.

[ColdOne]

Thank you for info.

[laplata]

Right on!!

...the craft performed maneuvers that a bird could not or would not do

...you've never seen a pissed off red tail hawk show a murder of crows he's had enough of their harassment..*smiles*

[Chode]

Russ airshows like the Russian Ballet are a thing of beauty... still i'm not sure how those maneuvers will hold up in an arena where speed is life
