“One SU-35 can take on two F-35s at once and win EVERY time. At 1/10 of the price per plane.”
Can you reference a link for this. I’m not stating this is or is not the case, I’d just like to see the analysis or simulation to support the statement.
Well, lets start with the performance specs.

I think that the costs per plane are on each site. And remember that Lockheed Martin always overstates and the Russians normally keep a little on the quiet side about their capabilities. Think of the AK47 (Russian machined versus Chinese stamped receivers) versus that fragile .22 caliber Faberge egg called the M-16.

for a comparison. (psst - the top speed was leaked at twice the Mach 1.98)
