The Su-35 is of course Russian. I don't take to kindly to Russian aircraft but is this going to be a F-22/F-35 killer.

SU35 DATA

The Su-35 should carry the very long range K-100, the R77-medium range missle,KH-31AD anti-radar missle,and lots more.

No...

How is the Su-35 going to detect the F-22 Raptor? Against the F-35 Lightning II it would have a better chance, but even there I give the nod to the F-35 (especially if the F-35 gets the upgrade to hold 6 internal AMRAAM's). Hard to say with the F-35 until it reaches production, but that's my take on it.

HOW could I be so stupid. Doh

I forot all about stealth technology!!!

Why?

Not as much stealth, not as much supercruise...

But still better than any previous generation fighter by a wide margin.

That Engine Guy beat me too it. Slightly less stealthy, no supercruise on the F-35 that I'm aware of. The F-22 Raptor was designed to DOMINATE air-to-air and it shows. The F-35 Lightning II seems more of a compromise.

Sort of like the F-15 and the F-16?

Both the F-35 and F-22 would obliterate any Flanker, past, present or future. Don't listen to people who tell you otherwise - not a single professional defense analyst agrees with them. Wink

I agree if a flanker was to fight an f-22. the f-22 would win and the flanker wouldn't even know there was a fight.

Yes the HI-LO mix is still being used.

F-15 (High cost, very complex, limited numbers)
F-16 (Low cost, easily maintained, high numbers)

F-22 (High cost, very complex, limited numbers)
F-35 (Low cost, easily maintained, high numbers)

Now the terms high/low and complex/easy are relative to the time period. Obviously the F-35 will be more expensive then the F-15 of the time... and more complex, but far easier/cheaper to maintain.

And it's really no different with any other legacy fighter you care to name vs the Lightning II. Similar concept.

Since we’re talking 5th Gen & Sukhoi’s, hope someone can have some fun with this.

COPE INDIA 2015

First meeting of the SU-30 & F-35 (Blue Air V White Air) Audio:

SU-30MKI’s (best Dana Carvey dialect): “Rajah 51 & Bengal 31 checking in with 8 Charging Rhinos.”

E-3 AWACS: “Roger, Roger, Rajah. This is Edgy 44. Lohegaon gave you the wrong frequency. Switch to Cats-eye 88 on 372.3.”

SU-30’s: “Rajah, Roger, Roger. Rajah & Bengal push 372.3.”

A-50E/I Mainstay: “Rajah 51, this is Cats-eye 88, are you up yet?”

SU-30’s: “Cats-eye 88, Rajah 51 & Bengal 31 are here.”

A-50: “Loud & clear Rajah. Rajah radar contact, and uh, Standby, uh…..”

SU-30’s: “Bengal’s are 20 in trail with Rajah.”

A-50: “Ah, there you are. Radar contact Bengal 31. Please, uh, standby.”

************************************************

E-3: “Ghost 71, you up yet? Can we get a comm safety check on voice?”

F-35’s: **GhOSt 71//**//with you on Dolly//Noses’ cold//mOnitoring tactical voice backup//**

F-35’s: “Ghost 71, two white lightnin’s, voice check on tactical.”

E-3: “Edgy 44 hears you five by. Follow Dolly. Understand you’re the escort for the strike UCAV’s, Headless 21 & 22?”

F-35’s: “Affirm, we drew the short straw.”

E-3: “Maybe not. We just got word that the Navy SU-CAP, Merlin 91 & 92, both went down in last chance. Merlin 91 aborted for a SHARED RAM LOW caution light plus a video card overheat & 92 aborted for a fatal error at IP006H with the blue screen of death. You’re now the Escort & CAP.”

F-35’s: “No problem, actually 4 V 8 would have been negative training. 2 V 8 sounds better. We’ve been telling ‘em all along to switch from PC’s to MAC’s. We’re ready.”

E-3: “Standby, we’ll check with Cats-eye. (pause) They’re ready. (pause) SAT phone from the Houston Guard, UCAV’s are ready. Fight’s on. Follow Dolly.”

F-35’s: “Ghost 71’s contact & Judy. Ghost 72, Lead’s got the trailers, you got the rest, don’t see any wild cards, Dolly handoff in 5. (long, long silent pause) Ghost 72 is Fox 3 Ripple.”

E-3: “Copy, Fox 3.”

F-35’s: “Ghost 72, from Lead, second group is turning east, watch those two to the south of you, you may have to overclock your backup CPU’s. (pause) “Ghost 71’s Fox 3 Ripple.”

E-3: “Copy, Fox 3. We have a SAT phone relay, Headless 21 & 22 are Shotgun, clearing the area.”

F-35’s: “Total Force, RegAF & Guard, yea baby. That’s all folks. Knock it off. (pause) Lead, does the Guard get per diem for this?”

******************************************************

SU-30’s (more Dana Carvey): “Bengal, this is Rajah lead, you got anything? (pause) Rajah, this is Bengal lead, are we fighting yet?”

A-50: “Knock it off.”

(Don’t take this the wrong way, I’m a big admirer of the Indian Air Force. I’m sure they’ve had some fun at USAF expense. IMHO, IAF flown Gnat was the 2nd best day fighter of its’ time.)

I agree that the F-22 and F-35 should easily defeat any fourth generation fighter, but that doesn't mean someone can't get a lucky shot. The planes are great, but not invincible, never under estimate the opponent. The F-22 has already been killed by a Superhornet from VF-11 in a close in knife fight, now people will say that ROEs were out of bounds or something else was wrong or that shot wasn't long enough. I've seen the shot the F-22 is in a dive with the Superhornet coming down on it and the piper is down and in the real world a kill is a kill.

Ya it would be tough to obtain true air superiority(like being invincible). Does russia have a fighter that can match the F-22/F-35.

I'm sure Sukoi is working on something to challenge it.

SU-35... does it match up with F-22/F-35?
