Just because you can detect something doesnt mean you can effectively engage with.
F-35 wil destroy Su-57 in BVR scenario due to superior radar,Stealth and situational awareness.
Well none of those thing matters when you cant engage with something you cant see or track isnt it? Thats what F-35 is for.
If you think that is not enough then let me remind you that F-22 is waiting at the corner to engage with Su-57 but dont think that is necessary.
True.
How so? It has faster missiles at a longer range. It will come down to who can launch first & whos missile will get there first. I do not think the Aim-120 will cut it.
That’s why the Americans are working very hard to replace it as we speak with the AIM-260 JATM…
There is a weak spot in the American Air to air playbook that is why they are going hard to replace it.
The truth is stealth is not what it used to be. Detection range has increased as Russian & Chinese invested in radars & long-range missiles instead of relying on stealth (they couldn’t).
The Americans got complacent & did not invest in anything else for quite some time. Now they are rushing to pump out all kind of weapon systems they once thought was unnecessary.
What good is a longer range missiles if you can’t detect or track enemy unit?
Su-57 cannot detect or engage with F-35 due F35’s superior stealth and situational awareness capabilities.
Most likely F-35 will either destroy the Su-57 before Felon realize whats going on or will just leave the area.
Stealth is still pretty revelant, otherwise China and Russia wouldnt invest huge amount of time and money for their new jets.
Problem is tho they are not as succesful as Usa when it comes to producing stealth fighters.
🤣🤣🤣
MiG-29s with Fly by wire (MiG-29 M, M2, K etc.) are at least as manoeuvrable as flankers even without thrust vectoring
Such a comparison, MiG 29 and F-15
F-35 has S-ducts for the air intake and has a superior stealth profile in general, the Su-57 has exposed engine intakes and an inferior stealth profile to even an F-35 with external weapons
Su-57 has a similar RCS to the super hornet, F-35 will see him miles before the Su-57 can see anything back, it is a hugely inferior aircraft for BVR
worse radar, worse sensors, worse integration, worse stealth
Does it matter?
clearly it matters when 1 is the practical aircraft produced in the thousands and another is a magic wunderwaffe with inferior capabilities all round
I don’t know who’s better, and I know it doesn’t matter. The F-35 is full of its own problems and the Su 57 is too, purely in terms of looks the Su 57 is much nicer. The F-35 has too short wings and the wide fuselage doesn’t have much beauty.
the “problems” of the F-35 only exist in the headlines of sensationalist articles and in the mouths of propagandists, in reality it is the best fighter in the world
If you’re thinking.
The Su-57 has radar blockers
Proof
This is the 13th in a row.Not counting failures of equipment with a successful outcome
yet F-35 has one of the lowest crash rates per flight hour of any military aircraft
