Default Re: new russian fighter

While the acrobatics of the SU-30 are quite impressive, I fail to see how this would prevail in a dogfight scenario where most engagements occur close to or above Mach speed envelopes where such manuevers are virtually impossible for the human body to withstand. Thus the equalizer is not the aircraft, but the pilot behind the stick. Don't forget compaired to the F-22 the cockpit of the SU is still quite archaic.
My money would be on the " Raptor " !

Just my Dos Centavos !
