Bingo, which is how any conflict with Russia or China ends
So having a Gen 6 mach 8 airframe makes no difference.
Carriers are just a floating airbase but where do you deploy them to face Russia and keep them out of missile and drone attack. Which is why Russia are scrapping there carriers they are purely for force projection and not much use in a defensive landwar
iran has s400.
changing the goalpost i see? a nuclear war with russia would still result in a russian loss btw, a missile/ drone attack against carriest would result in no damage. russian missiles have no capability to go through a strike group’s airdefenses
Why would a Russian S-400 operator reveal they can see an F-35? The same way an Israeli pilot would never publicly announce the S-400 was tracking them.
Whys that then…US Nukes are better, come on dude this is top trumps now.
they arent russian operators. they are iranian operators and they would’ve shot at the incoming f35s.
even if what conspiracy theory youre claiming youre trying to spin is true
you do realize that INSANE propaganda value of russia shooting down a f35 would be? youve quite literally shut of your brain and are in schizo mode
us ballistic defense is better. us submarines are better, us second strike abilities are betters. thats what would “win” a nuclear war
According to Wikipedia (I know it’s not great source but you haven’t provided me anything better)
Iran
In June 2019 some Iranian officials expressed interest in procuring the S-400 missile system to further improve its defense capabilities along with the previously purchased S-300PMU2. Russia stated at the time it was ready to sell the S-400 system to Iran if an official request was made.In November 2024, Davood Sheikhian, deputy for operations of the IRGC Aerospace Force, stated that Iran never requested the S-400 systems, and that Iran’s current capabilities were far superior to them, additionally stating that Iran is actively using the S-300.
theyve got bot systems as of this year. they also had russian specialists to train whatever crew. also s300pmu2 by russian claims should also be able to counter stealth aircraft, this is drastically off topic so lets stop the discussion here. my original post was in response to mig23m claims. we are going to get the thread imploded.
If they had an S-400 they would need permission to even switch it on
So there is no argument on your end. You don’t think the Russians could come anywhere close to a near 30 year old design that was conceptualized 20 years further back than that?
quite literally already addressed your cope, but you do realize the su57 is a based on a soviet design right? and yes when youre Decades behind in the technology required to make a competing desing you arent going to make a competing design, also forgot the russian economy is smaller than texas, no they arent going to compete with the usa on cutting edge technology
So is using variable bypass turbofan not a step up from the F-22, or??
There are so many clowns here, you know, I’m like I’m in a zoo here. By the time I read all the reviews, I had eaten three packets of chips. Really, I never thought there were so many idiots in the world, hahaha, thanks to some people’s performances, I can’t help but laugh.
considering the su57 can only go mach 1.3 on supercruise, ontop of having a worse thrust to weight ratio.
no it doesnt seem the variable bypass engine manage to make up the perfomance difference, and assuming its more efficent which is a very big assumption(as russia hasnt made competitive engines in decades) it might give the su57 an edge in range considering the larger fuelload. but lets not remember the su57 supercruise is drastically slower which would reduce said “advantage” by significantly.
im not going to waste my time on this argument anymore. as you have to be delusional to believe that the su57 is anywere near comparable to an f22.
There is no S-400 in Iran
R-37M Lighter than the Rim-174 and can also receive targeting from another aircraft
For a Land country, this is not relevant at all
Except it isn’t… In any way imaginable.
I see you haven’t read a SINGLE thing here.
It wouldn’t matter if their were screws covering every inch, you’d need a MMW radar to be able to differentiate it from any other portion of the aircraft’s skin
I think this judgement is too harsh according to the information on its RCS we have as a civilian. Whilst this suggests it’s worse than US 5th gen it definitely doesn’t fit in the category of low observably like RAM coated F-16s and EFTs
It doesnt have the Typical S duct iirc for instance, and has a simmilar grid cover in the intake to the F117 but worse. And the exposed engines as well is a whole other topic. And its not really a fully realised idea of what it was originally supposed to be.
