@1bearcatf8f I've said T.O. 1F-15A-1 already. Section 5-7 figure 5.3 "airspeed limitation and afterburner operating envelope" to be more specific. Usually turns out to be more accurate than wiki.

@jack99889988 In single CAC, at S/L and 360 KTAS, Su-27 can sustain 20,16 deg/s while carrying full gun ammo, 2xR-73 and 2xR-27 missiles. A clean F-15C can sustain 18,45deg/s, and a clean F-4E can sustain 12,35deg/s. According to these numbers, if you say an experienced F-15 pilot can hold its ow...

@sukhoi235 F-22s combat radius is 1460 km versus Su-27's 1760 km. Not that bad. F-22 can also evade R-27s just as easily so I dont see any advantage about that either. Assuming Su-35 has 3sqm RCS, APG-77 detect it 315 km away, so F-22 will have significant energy advantage againist Su-35 in both ...

@milvipes No it didnt. Su-27 first flight: 20 May 1977, M4K: 9 March 1979. Other than that, I agree.

@AdasNeumann It flies ~15 meters above water. Sea state 8 defines waves of 9 to 14 meters in height. Not many warships can endure more than sea state 8. Its fuel efficient depending on its payload. Lun carries 6x 5 ton missiles = 30 tons, excluding the launchers' weight. Surely its more fuel effi...

@gwschild There is no single pilot who flew every fighter around. Even if there is one, its still biased; an F-16 pilot flying a MiG will never say its better or vice versa. Only true way to know which jet is the best is to find unbiased and accurate specifications and compare them on paper. Only...

@JJShep78 Why? They managed to put hawk missiles on tomcats, dont they?

@migstrike Not THAT light on fuel. MAKS 2009 show of Su-35 elapsed 8+ minutes (mostly) on full afterburner. A duration 36 seconds longer than an Block 50 F-16's afterburning ability with full internal fuel.

@jc005e Im sorry but you are sadly misinformed. F-22 has a coverage of +/-60deg in frontal arc, all electronically scanned. Su-35 only has 1 radar (no tail radar) with +/-30 deg electronical plus 60 deg mechanicial scanning. PW f-119 has 9% higher thrust than 117S, but F-22 20% heavier than Su-35...

@franknbeans4761 Maybe it is referring to individual lauchers? A battery can have anything from 4 to 24 launchers?

I think these tactics are smart. T-62 is a tank nonetheless. In battlefield it can destroy anything less than a MBT, and, again, protected againist anything less than a tank gun. If...
