yeah but we have yet to see Russian/Chinese jets perform against their actual modern American counterparts (not some antiquated F-16’s vs. Su-35, btw an F-16 apparently shot one down or something)
currently Israeli modified export American aircraft (such as the F-16I and F-15I) id consider to be rougly on par with or worse than US versions are curbstomping certain air defences equipped with stuff like the S-300 and modern domestic SAM’s
F-22 vs Mig-29/31, Su27/30
historical matchmaking
not even i mean like F-15 advanced/strike eagle vs like an Su-30 or 35 or MiG-29xyz/MiG-35

certainly, I’m just pointing out that their 2010s era stuff is basically what they where working on in the 1990s but had to shelve due to their financial situation. The R-77 is a good example, they started work on that in the 1980s, but it never entered service in Russia (at least in any significant numbers) until the R-77-1 in something like 2015.
Bruh. The 9X should NOT come to planes just yet. At most it will end up on a helicopter until they release the new IR AAMs for everyone.
People generally do not have the cognitive capacity (mainly Americans) that several Russian military equipment that we see are plans that were often seen since before 1991 and that after that the country collapsed and had a huge economic crisis and only for that reason from 2010 onwards we saw the emergence of new Russian equipment, and after recovering we see that since 2015 2017 and mainly now the Russian Federation has been modernizing rapidly.
AH-1Z my beloved
I still pray they add the 9X to it last minute. That might actually revive it…
But we are deviating from the subject. No 9X on planes just yet.
An F22 would never destroy the entire Russian air force because the Russian air force’s method of operation is not offensive like the American air force and NATO countries, it always operates within an anti-aircraft shield with pantsir s300 s400 Buk etc…, good luck to the F22 when it gets there
all this talk about American cognitive capacity but where is the cognitive capacity for even modern Russian equipment to be competitive with a country that didnt have previous soviet ties and can afford/is allowed to have Western equipment
stealth cruise missiles and AARGM-ER’s.
not to mention the F-22 can still shoot into the air defence bubble from outside.
anyways the AIM-9X on hornet is pretty stupid its not that bad
I didn’t quite understand what you meant, but I did talk about cognitive ability because most people complain about something on the forum are from USA. English is not my first language
Hornets would never be as good at BVR as Rafale Eurofighters and F15E, it was expected that they would come to the forum to complain about something about the plane
I don’t have a link, but BVVD said this in the second half of the stream
How is it that you are quoting the date the of the F18s first flight
But for the Su30 you are quoting the service introduction of a later modification?
Also the Su30 is just a modification of the Su27
Also known as the Su27UB.
The first flight of the Su27 was in 1977 btw
Stop trying to manipulate ppl.
The F/A-18C we got ingame is from 2006, otherwise you wouldn’t get a HMD
This is not a Su-27S
Iam just doing the same he did tbh
I know that it isn’t the same as a production Su27 but the same is the case for the F-18
A worse FM than the current F-18 overpowered?
No. No AIM-9X for any American aircraft.
Radar buffs. Yes
AIM-120C-5 buffs. Yes
BOL. Yezzz
Sniper. Yes
And the list goes on. A couple of things that would not make the U.S jets op but they’re little cool gimmicks
