i think this would be classified as razzle dazzle paint scheme i could be wrong
Nope
what do you mean those are there high strength screws used so can tighten things securely without stripping screws the ones they used on the su57 where improper philps head screws which can not be tightened as tight without them striping which means they will fall off eventually

you have to zoom in on the bottom one to see the screw head
the screws on the su57 are already striping from over tighting
First image is literally a pre-production airframe, bort 510 Blue. New series airframes have fasteners more flush to the body of the aircraft.
really do you know where i can find a photo of them
you can steal one in china/russia
I dont have a horse in this race.
Of course the F-22 will be superior with it’s stealth capability, it’s Radar and sensor suites are a little dated now compared with some Gen4.5 and 5 airframes. As an air superiority fighter its the pinacle in every measure. When you set them up with an EAWACs aircraft DL their BVRAAMS they become death.
But thats not what the Su-57 or J-20 are designed to do. Russia and China know they cannot hope to defeat the US airforce, they dont have enough Gen 5 airframes and are both lagging behind NATO in certain areas. What they do know though is that it doesnt matter how good an F-22 is if its not got gas or a DL. Su-57 armed with R-37M is a huge threat to any US command control and support assets.
The J-20 with it’s BVRAAM is the same.
With the future conflicts set to be fought over Russia/Ukraine and Taiwan. The US will depend on tankers and EAWACS aircraft to maintain operational tempo. Remove a few of these and you start to impact NATO air strategy.

They are the funding has been allocated, but current F-22 fleet are a little long in the tooth.
No antiquated but not the pinacle like they once were.
With Peregrine, HMD and the new Radar they will be elevated once again
Beautiful 😍

already does have. soon will get updated with another HMD
I know it was set for integration in 2024
The Su-57 seen in the photo is not a serial production model - which underwent a major redesign before production. I already covered this uneducated comparison before.
It would be the same as comparing the YF-22 to a production Su-57.
I also feel it silly to compare the SU-57 to the F-22 when the SU-57 is supposed to be a competitor to the F-35.
If it would come to warthunder yes in sim because sim is more distance based and stealth capabilities are more useful but in a realistic battle it would probably not make a much of a difference, because the su-57 has emitter locating that means it can detect a radar emitter and using the f22 without it’s radar is probably not done.
isnt the an apg 77v1 already on the 22?
also, what is peregrine?
Did you run out and check the tightness?
