Being western in origin doesn’t make it any less poisonous.

It’s almost as if it wasn’t designed to be a stealth aircraft.
Just a Su-27 replacement while testing some mechanisms for the next project.
On top of your claims being debunked.

Probably. But I doubt the SU57 is as bad as most pundits say. Truth being, no one besides Russia’s MOD truly knows.
Most talking points you see regurgitated only really apply to the PAK FA.

The F22 is almost certainly better. As far as reliable sources go the SU-57 is a very very troubled aircraft with an identity crisis in how it gets portrayed, nor do I trust russia to be able to build planes on par with Lockheed Martin. Hopefully we wont ever find out the answer of who wins in the air.
Im far from a freedomboo but I think this meme sums up my thoughts on this question
I got flagged for being “off topic” despite this old ass comment being very much on topic.

Assuming you are just uninformed and not trolling
The “screws” (aerospace grade fasteners) were seen and visible on a early developmental tech demo. It would be the equivalent of stating that the YF-22A has a nose probe therefore F-22 isn’t stealth…
That is not to mention that the F-22A has aerospace grade fasteners visible along with panel gaps… everywhere.
Any close up photos of the F-22 in the same manner as the PAK FA photo would show similarly “bad” looking fasteners on the surface.

Nah that’s just NATO propaganda.

Only contest to the F-22 is the F-35. Nothing Russia has to offer even today could hope to compete with the F-22, or much of what USA has produced for that matter.
Only seems that way in WT because it is after all, a game.

I don’t have any interest in entertaining any kind of " Nuh-uh " from you because I already know you have zero access to any of the still classified information about the Raptor or even the Ivan garbage known as the Su-57.
You can disagree all you like, but I frankly could not care less.

Really bro? Even the F-22 can defeat the F-35

I said contest. Contesting and defeating are two different terms. F-35’s largest drawback is that it’s intended as a multitool whilst the F-22 was solely an air superiority behemoth.

Why do people always compare F22 and su-57 they are not on the same level. The F22 is dedicated air superiority fighter while the su-57 is multirole fighter Don’t get me wrong su-57 isn’t some great aircraft however a lot of the flak that it gets it’s mainly because of the prototype versions that were used for testing

Plus it’s a difference in doctrine a lot of Soviet\Russian Fighters were designed to fight inside of their air defense protection zone. And you can see that in the design of the su-57. Russia could have made better stealth fighter but you can see that a lot of the design choices were made on the expense of stealth, for an example in close quarters su-57 has an IRST and it also has a laser protection system against infrared missiles.

It might be an even fight if perhaps the Su-57 could even detect the F-22. Emphasis on might.
Look here I’m not designer I don’t know much about stealth There is a difference between detecting and having a lock There is a high possibility that su-57 and other Russian Fighters can indeed detect the F22 at some meaningful Ranges but probably not fire on it

I wonder why they don’t bother making those fasteners flush. I guess as long as it meets the RCS requirements.
It’d quite literally be this but F-22 vs Su-57.
It’s not even a contest.
