4th Russsian Generation. It is not the same thing as 4th generation in, say, Israel or the USA.

China needs to understand that. Even their vaunted J-20
would have its ass handed to it by a new F-16.

“4th Russsian Generation.”
And it was knocked out of the sky by an opponent who isn’t even 3rd Russian generation.

If I remember right, the Su 35 is a top line 4th gen fighter and has been sold for export.
Maybe this guy was dumb or unlucky, but if I was India I would be wondering about the money I paid for the fighters.

Any American fighter could have been shot down were it within range of the Starstreak or assorted MANPAD (Starstreak superior because it doesn’t rely on IR emissions). Our operational procedures would preclude that happening. Nothing wrong with the SU-35 in itself that led to this.
