>>>Thanks.

All the Russian and Chinese aircraft look similar to ours. But they’ve stolen or been given our technology so that figures.<<<

If anything, 4 generation aka legacy fighter aircraft took shape in late 1960s with Mig-25 which was a Russian design.
F-15 was a superbly refined American answer and all the newer aircraft designs of both worlds until F-22 were looking like that.

Thanks for the good info, cunning_fish.

I think the F-15 is still one of the best.

I think that pic was before the refurbish since those jets are Russian flagged.. livefist had some newer pics and the deck looks different there
