Do you think this Russian fighter jet is better than F22?

On paper.

Does a soviet knockoff which is a replica of a knockoff based on the F-14 conjoined with the F-22 design knockoff better than the F-22?
Maybe.
Liam Watson
No, it's not even a stealth fighter
RCS at “average figure of 0.1-1 square metre”. Top kek.
Easton Barnes
It doesn't matter if it's better. Let's say it is better, how much better? Not going to be a huge difference.
US air power is just too overwhelming in terms of numbers. Even if Russian and US air power technology was identical, the US still wins, based on the fact they have a lot more fucking aircraft.
Landon Wilson
it's non-existent
so it's not better
+ USA has a shitload of F22 already in use, so a lot of experienced pilots who know how to fly the thing
Jordan Williams
Neither in quantity or quality.
Landon Sanders
>No stealth nozzles.
Even Indian internet users (pic related) can do it better.
Cameron Long
Stealthier IRST sensor.
Sebastian Martinez
...
Aiden Hill
Made by internet users too.
Connor Brooks
It performs worse, but it can work in far less optimal conditions. Doesn't need a spotless runway, support crew of 500 engineers, Jesus Piss fuel, liquid fucking oxygen for the pilots to drown in, and can fly pretty damaged
They plan to tack some on later according to its 'upgradability report'
Alexander Jackson
I'm not an expert but I read some time ago that when the Russians demoed the plane in India, the poos claimed the stealth implementation was poor, so if the poos were not impressed then that's got to make you wonder.
Still its better than anything Europe has though.
Adam Perez
Go ask /k/
For future reference, nobody has better weapons that the USA. Why even ask such stupid questions.
Gabriel Roberts
those nozzles don't allow for these physics defying acrobatics

Landon Jones
Not true, australia has the greatest shitposters
Parker Smith
Would have been good 30 years ago. It's already outdated before it even hits production.
John Foster
Even if it was, they will never be able to make enough of them for it to make a difference. The first flight was in 2010, and so far only 6 have been produced.
Grayson Baker
None of this matters, the technology has been developed to pick up on the heat signature that the jet's exhaust produces at over 100km away.
It's been developed by the Brits and the French and the Russians aren't far behind.
Soon the stealth and missiles meme will be over and we'll be back to good old mass dogfighting.
William Foster
It does its job and its cheap,for a 4th gen jet. The F22 is a technological marvel but its also a huge waste, it was built during soviet times where the US was expecting symmetrical warfare against formidable foes like Russia. But since the collapse of the soviet union, the only thing its useful,for is in airshows. You dont need an f22 to drop bombs on mudshits in Afghanistan
