We should explore that, what Russian aircraft os superior to a Western counterpart?
What Radar, what missile, what counter measure suite even engines are superior
I am curious, while Russian aircraft are no means bad they do lag behind the best the West can produce.
Like what? I know for a fact russia dont buy a lot of new tech but i know for certain they have access to them.
Al-41F. U.S. still hasn’t made a Variable Bypass Engine. GE & PW are working on it but it hasn’t been made yet.
Correction: They have been made and tested, but not put in a plane afaik.
N011 (the Mechanical one) was pretty comparable to something like APG-63.
The rest I’d have to look into. I would say something like Khinzal is better than stuff the U.S. uses, but I don’t think the U.S. even uses anything like Khinzal.
As for CM Suite, are you just talking about Active CMs (Flares/Chaff) and ECM?
wasnt YF120 variable bypass?

Huh, So it was. I forgot about that one.
Thank you for your correction. ^^

AGM-183 ARRW is basically AS-24 Killjoy but from the USA.

Only deployed in bombers.
Planned to be integrated with F-15E in future.
You have compared a Russian Radar with an American one I did say Western. BARS 1st gen Radar was not good.
CM suite well Typhoon/Rafale and Gripen have had MAWs and protection systems for 20 years
Russia it took the Su-35 for this system to be integrated. They do not have a protection system currently with Su-57 as the starting point.
If you were to break down signal processing, sensor fusion Russia are really quite far behind in that regard. Stealth also is not great
planned is not a strong word to base its trust on it.
yes the Su-35 in the 90s that had the same MAWs sytem installed as the Su-24
your source?
(you dont have any)

what screen is that?
first is radar
second one is situational awarness/ navigation
what aircraft is it from?
Su-57
then they would still be behind in sensor fusion
Su-35 did not enter service until 2010…What Su-35 were Russia operating in the 90s? Fair enough though Su-24 did have a rudimentary MAWs
Su-57 has 25 airframes in service, as I said Russia are behind the curve. Adding DIRCM also shows they expect to get within close range or they do not trust their protection systems to detect long range IIR missiles. But are comfortable with the level of RCS reduction.
That screen is showing a lot probably in a demo mode. Sensor fusion is more about not just vomiting every signal it is taking the returns and emissions and prioritising threats and giving the pilot the necessary information. Russia are catching up but they are behind when we compare front line fighters with the Eurocanards and F-35.
around 60 to be precise.

probably but so are a lot of the F-35/eurocanard screens we see. i would be more suprised if they did not figure out sensor fusion by now
maybe total with T-50 and ones on order
