Once you get to the point where the AMRAAM is better than other missiles, the AMRAAM still has worse performance than when it gets completely stomped by those same missiles. And it’s also still pretty easy to notch. true BVR just isn’t that viable
man i know why people like the YF-23, but holy hell it butt ugly when you see it from top or down. the wing just literally a SQUARE with a body through the wing
Not every delta canard, J-10C still has that absurd drag comparable to a F-15, devs think that past Mach 1 it will magically have twice the drag to a Rafael.
The F-15 and Flankers are heavy fighters. The Rafale and EFT are medium fighters. The size difference between a F-15 and a Rafale is as striking as that between a Rafale and a Gripen
