Is the Su-57 really worse than the F-22?

Didnt quote your earlier message but you spoke about coverage. Doesnt seem so, if coverage was bad. Jets could also fly low and get closer but havent at all in recent times. Its why they continue to use stand off long range equipment like glide bombs for extended range around 70+kms

Its not like the israel air defense did it job, 50% or more misses its quite a lot

Pretty US and allied forces also helped with coverage against Iranian ballistic missiles. Many got through but iran was just spamming at that point. Pretty sure low numbers wise they would have had a high interception rate anyway

Based on what? Israeli air defense has a massively high interception rate (Iron Dome - ~95%, Davids Sling ~97%) compared to the sheer amount of missiles they have to deal with.

Intercepting thousands of missiles is signifigantly harder than 20 or so stealth jets flying in your airspace

This ‘great osint account’ has been caught more than once spreading disinformation straight from the Russian Ministry of Defense, and its Telegram followers are mostly Ziggers.

It did it’s job as expected, iranian strikes had extremely small scale effect. The problem there was logistic that strike necessitated a ton of interceptors.

Ron_23 has decided the capabilities of the f22 are overstated pack your bags boys he got extremely classified info on the f22 cross section.

Is the diameter of r77m the same as the r77-1?

Hard to say from images only, Imo, no not chonkier, but definitely longer.

Spoiler


It looks so cursed man, it’s long as hell, love it. I don’t hope to hear any success from it but I quite like the design.

Might be the angle but the one carried by the Su-35 looks longer than this xD

Su-57 internal weapons air to air options->
Standard r-77m
Ramjet r-77m (unsure if it’s still in testing)
Izd-810, internalized long range missile based off r-37m

Dead projects
Ramjet rvv-ae-pd → dead project r-77 with ramjet with folding fins

Definitely, this is likely to be standard rvv-ae with the back fins replaced with fins (it’s just a mock up for display, no need to show the actual thing)

Kinda curious to see how the fins affect maneuverability compared to the grid ones.

God I love that scuffed mockup, I love how they literally took a RVV-AE mock for expos and cut off the grid fins… Genuinely amazing lmao.

Oh I didn’t see your message lol.
