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

A former RuAF WSO with real combat experience in Syria — is he not an expert?

Well, depends on an area. Like, i would trust this man on his knowledge about Su-34, but generalised takes on how airforce perfoms - i’d be skeptical.

Well, if he were the only one asking such questions — then it would make sense. But that’s not the case.

Who else asks?

It seems to me that anyone familiar with the actions of aviation in local conflicts.

Can you, like, provide proofs? Because right now i can only see you and Fighterbomber. You said that he’s not the only one who’s asking.

Are you serious?

Deadly serious. I am a person that just stumbled on this post, got curious and asked you to give me some proofs that what you are talking about is truth. Right now only thing you do is being arrogant about it.

Alright. I meant myself and Fighterbomber. Move along.

Got it. I guess technically it works with

Well it’s not a counterfactual claim is it?
The fact that Russia doesn’t have total air superiority already raises a myriad of questions about capability/strategy, all flogger is doing is forwarding a valuable irl source to share concerns about the ability of the RuAF to maintain an offensive aerial presence.

Then why he didn’t said it himself and requires you to make it clear?

Because he wasn’t initially stating opinion, simply forwarding the source to prompt discourse.
As for his later messages, I don’t want to put words in his mouth so I’ll avoid commenting

Fair enough i guess.

I thought these were self-evident questions for anyone who plays a modern air-combat game. Turns out that’s not really true, so I admit I was wrong. After all, War Thunder isn’t DCS.

Ah, severe case of elitism, got it. Rest easy now, i won’t bother you with any questions anymore.

What does elitism have to do with it? I didn’t mean anything negative.

Obviously you gonna say exactly that.

It seems to me that we’ve drifted away from the discussion about the Su-57 and its shortcomings as a 5gen fighter.

You’ve only realised it now?
