Honestly the more i try to find information on this aircraft. The more it seems like it was made as a Russian Psy Op to trick the West into fearing Russia.

I’m a hard no, you’re a hard yes
The compromise is it gets added but only with the REAL flight data and armaments, which I’m nearly 100% you don’t want.

I’m glad I’m not.
Yeah the way that reads off he sounds like he thinks he’s some super hero. So I modified a quote from the Spooderman trailer.

One day (probably not) they’ll learn that not all planes are for war thunder, this being one of them. I wish they would STOP BEING A PAIN ABOUT IT though because it’s really annoying to read through word salad cope every time.

I agree there are so many better options they could have chosen but will die on the hill for this.

Yet you ignore that this was a circumstantial “what if” post…
You’ve been defending it like we’re trying to remove the Su-27, if it’s an if maybe you shouldn’t act like you would literally die without it and try to justify its addiction by any means necessary.

But I am, because you refuse to acknowledge the circumstances to add it, when it has its “equivalent”
It’s equivalent? What the raptor? I wouldn’t consider this equivalent to the raptor.

There still isn’t truly an equivalent to the F-22 yet. (I mean, unless your Chinese and believe the propaganda about their copy cat fighters :P)
Closest we have is the Felon/F-35/J-20/the Turkish thingy, and whatever Japan cooks up in the coming years (rumors of F-23 revival for that lmao, plez I pray)
The F-22 just has a superior RCS, better dog-fighting performance, better power plant and T/W ratio (most of the time), better radar and avionics (I’d assume given how much I pay in taxes lmfao), and air to air missiles (for the most part)
The only real comparable competition I see it ever having is the Su-75, as it looks pretty sleek, but also quite budgetary and lackluster. It seems small, lacking in armament/capabilities and meant to be a low cost option. 5th gen F-5/F-20 more or less… we’ll have to see how it turns out when it comes around in 2027ish. (Watch it get tested in Iran or something and get absolutely slaughtered by raptors, eagles, and lightnings)
We’ll see I guess.
@Zyranovos meant to reply this to you lol, whoops

Name any equivalent to it, there isn’t.
No other nation has a “stealth” fighter with SARHs and first generation IRCCM missiles, thus making it very difficult to balance.
It also never had any pylons in the first place, the Yak-141 at least MOUNTED some missiles.

No, it was just an unarmed testbed that did some testflights, atleast so I have heard.
