It is not only the fastest but also flies the highest and equipped with an AWACS class powerful radar easily burning through countermeasures.

This plane is an extremely potent BVR interceptor platform, a Mig-25 replacement with most of it’s bugs and shortcomings fixed.

WOW!!! All the money the US and Soviets have spent the last 40 yrs and the secret is a revamped 40 yr old airframe with pirated radar and gas guzzling engines!!! Again this thing won't last half an hour up against the radar and missiles of half a dozen countries!!!
