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

and a massively inferior RCS in general
Where are the statistics?
Where is the evidence?
