How is that a fair comparison? You can cherry pick an aircraft from any nation and compare it to a well performing aircraft from their competitors like this, meaningless argument. Also, how does production numbers relate to the capabilities of a system/platform? How many planes that have been exported is very reliant on geopolitics, which makes your argument even more meaningless. Due to sanctions, the Su-35 wasn’t able to be sold to Egypt for example.

Give us the requirements for a plane to be considered a 5th gen.
Implying China doesn’t navigate similar sanctions and geopol situations regarding defense sales? Implying Pakistan doesn’t? Lmao stop making excuses. Prove it wrong
stop strawmanning

Absolutely!
Can Russia produce Radar Ablative Coatings? And if so, where? Lmao
Blocked tbh. A gnat that doesn’t advance the conversation is annoying at best

Argument implies you were countering any stated point with any information besides “nuh huh ad hominem”
As I said, how does this even relate to the capabilities of a platform? China is geopolitically stronger than Russia as well. Why are you comparing one of China’s best export jets to the frankly irrelevant MiG-35? Why not use the Su-30 or Su-35 as an example?
his actual argument
your reply:
litterally the defention of a strawman
Because you said Russia failing in modern defense was a stereotype. Your comments are proving that correct.
then why are more countries buying the Su-35 than the J-10
why do you need to compare the sales of the J10 to the Mig-35 thats irrelevant
Because they already bought a lot of weapons that rely on Russian avionics, they were 2nd world countries 40 years ago that bought MiGs and needed similar equipment to “modernize” their air forces. Of course we’re talking about countries like Tajikistan right now so I’m not sure what the point is anyways.
The what coating ?
RAM coating
something that russia even uses on the Su-35S
The coating on the B-2/B-21/F 22/F-15 Stealth Eagle/J-20/J-35/F 35

No. Radar Absorbing Material is not the same as Radar Ablative Coatings
