US press: Su-35 is Russia's main air superiority fighter

The Russian Su-35 fighter is the main aircraft for gaining air superiority. Flanker-E does not lag behind the main Western fourth-generation fighters and is inferior to American fifth-generation aircraft. The American edition of The National Interest writes about this.

According to the author of an article published in an American magazine, the Russian Su-35 fighter is the main aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces for gaining air superiority and will remain so until a significant number of serial Su-57s enter the troops. The aircraft has unsurpassed maneuverability, and armament does not lag behind Western models such as the F-15 Eagle. The fighter is a rather formidable opponent for the F-15, Eurofighter and Rafale, but is inferior to the F-22 and F-35.

The Su-35 fighter is a further development of the Su-27 and is currently the most advanced in the Flanker family. Engines with controlled thrust vector provide it with high maneuverability and speed of Mach 2,25, as well as a ceiling of 20 thousand meters. The aircraft has a range of 3 km, and with additional tanks - 600 km.

The Su-35 glider does not have stealth technology, but the modified air intakes and cockpit canopy, as well as the radio-absorbing coating, have significantly reduced the aircraft's effective reflective surface compared to its predecessors.

The fighter has 12 to 14 weapons suspension nodes, which allows it to carry a large combat load, significantly exceeding that of many Western fighters, including the F-22 and F-35. The aircraft's armament includes long-range aviation missiles, medium and short range missiles. In addition, the Su-35 is armed with a 30-millimeter cannon with 150 rounds of ammunition to conduct aerial combat or attack from low level flight.

The fighter is equipped with an electronic warfare system "Khibiny", a radar with a passive phased antenna array N035 "Irbis", as well as an optical locating station OLS-35 with a declared range of 80 kilometers, which can pose a serious threat to stealth fighters.

In terms of its characteristics, the Su-35 is not inferior to the best Western fourth-generation fighters, but in the case of the F-22 and F-35, high maneuverability and armament may not help it, since they are difficult to detect at long distances. At the same time, American fighters can strike while in invisibility.

Su-35 may be the best air combat aircraft of all history and an excellent means of delivering missiles to the target - but will it have enough characteristics to be called a fighter for gaining air superiority in the age of stealth technology? This question is still unanswered

- summarizes the author.

US press: Su-35 is Russia's main air superiority fighter

Hmm ...
But it was only necessary to supply the S-400 to Turkey for the amers to open their eyes)))

[Borik]

Painfully they praise their F-22 and F-35, just super-duper fighters are invincible and invulnerable. But only a combat clash in real air combat can judge which fighter actually deserves to be called the best.

[mitroha]

Hopefully it won't happen in the near future. At least between the Russian Aerospace Forces and Airforce USA

[figwam]

The Su-35 glider does not have stealth technology, but the modified air intakes and cockpit canopy, as well as the radio-absorbing coating, have significantly reduced the aircraft's effective reflective surface compared to its predecessors.

Well, the coated lantern is understandable, maybe they put a radio-absorbing grille in the air intakes, for example, but is there a radio-absorbing coating on the fuselage?

[Giant thought]

All the vaunted invisibility of American stealth aircraft is just publicity. In order to maintain their invisibility, these aircraft must fly in complete radio silence, and the AWAC must aim them at targets, which will patrol at a safe distance for it from our S-300 and S-400, because when the onboard radars F-35 and F- 22 their invisibility disappears completely, i.e. they lose their advantage all at once. Another important factor is the presence of our long-range radars, which detect these invisibles when they fly along the borders of Iran, therefore, first of all, there will be interaction between our videoconferencing and radio technical services. Americans are well aware of this and modestly leave these things in their articles without publicity. What shy ones!

[hydrox]

If our aircraft is inferior to the 5th generation aircraft in all respects, then why in Syria these vaunted fuchiks fled to Israel to hide as blown up, with the mere appearance of the 35th on the radio horizon, even with AWACS, even without them ... ?
No, of course, a meeting of dryers and fushek in battle will definitely take place, but the shame of this meeting from the Air Force of the armies of the whole world, the Americans will have to drink dry.

At the same time, it is very important that a professional, preferably of Slavic nationality, trained in the Lipetsk Combat Use Center, and not an Arab, who, seeing the pulsating display and hearing the voice of "Natasha" of the aircraft radiation warning system, is not reaching for the Tibetan tumbler ", and to the lever of the K-36 catapult ...
The "gasket" between the control handle and the Dryer is, well, very important in this case! And "invisibility" is a bogey only until the beginning of an air battle ...

=======
In general, no "invisibility"does not exist a priori! From the word AT ALL! There is"stealth", ie a set of measures to reduce the RCS of the object. This is of course an important factor, increasing efficiency combat use of an aircraft, ship, etc., but by no means a "panacea for all ills"! In addition, such a component of reducing the radar signature, such as radio-absorbing coatings, simply cannot be effective. in all radio frequency ranges. And in this way it is created in such a way that the maximum absorption falls on the most common for modern airborne radar ranges! For frequencies beyond the maximum of the absorption spectrum, then the entire "absorbing coating" is converted ...... "Trousers are converted ..... Sorry for the little technical problem! ..."

The same applies to air defense, where radars operate in the widest range: from meter to millimeter range.
Well, about the fact that ANY subtle the object instantly turns very even perceptible when you turn on your own radar - you, Peter, have already written!
PS "Stealth" -technology underestimate of course not, but overestimate - also!
Happy New Year!

[Andrey.AN]

The indisputable quality of the fifth generation stealth is the secrecy from the observer of the weapons potential, although the potential is not shy on the Sushka suspension nodes, but still, it does not interfere with peeping with what the probable enemy dissects, although the defensive doctrine does not seem to plan preventive strikes.

And you also need to open the missile compartments in order to launch. This also means giving a signal - "hello ... I'm here"

This is exactly how the Serbs of the American Goblin have filled up. Even the old 125 system was able to remove the F-117, it was worth it to increase its RCS by opening the doors of the weapons compartment.

[kventinasd]

The Russian Su-35 fighter is the main aircraft for gaining air superiority. Flanker-E not lagging behind from the main western fourth generation fighters

Not lagging behind? He surpasses them many times. What Western 4th generation fighter can rival the 35th in the air? And the fifth generation also does not really shine.

In what way is the Su-35 superior to the F-22/35?

In what way is the Su-35 superior to the F-22/35?

Do not read periodicals?

Total: two minuses due to the lack of modernization against one big flying minus, even if invisible to airborne radar. In my opinion, the choice is obvious. Two American F-35 can go against one Su-35 and not go out winners.

https://topwar.ru/107765-sravnenie-rossiyskogo-su-35-i-amerikanskogo-f-35-lightning-ii.html

When comparing fighters in a single confrontation against each other, the Su-35 wins. The purpose of the F-35 is to bombard and detect the enemy in advance. This allows the aircraft to counter existing threats with maximum efficiency, calling in reinforcements or retreating if necessary.

https://yandex.ru/turbo/samoletos.ru/s/samolety/su-35-protiv-f-35

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

It is necessary to compare not directly a single F-35 against the Su-35, in terms of performance characteristics, but the tactics of their use.

So, the United States will not send the F-35 to intercept the Su-35 alone, they will spot our Su-35 with an AWACS aircraft from a distance of 400 km or other fighters from a long range, drop the data on the F-35, which, according to these data, will launch a missile from the invisibility zone for our aircraft without using your radar and without detecting yourself.

So, 2 F-35s are likely to come out victorious against two Su-35s. One will quickly detect our Su-35s, and the other will launch missiles at them.

This is how they shot down most of the MiG-29 aircraft in Yugoslavia.

In the best case, our Su-35 will be able to detect a missile attack and try to get away from it, but it will always be a withdrawal from the battle and refusal to complete the mission (just like with the Su-30 in India) and it will not always work out.

So, shouting about the huge superiority of the Su-35 and the powerless F-35 is definitely not worth it.

When was the last time Soviet / Russian fighters showed / proved their superiority over American ones?

That's about it.

[El Chuvachino]

Reliability, a wider range of weapons and the number of missiles, the presence of an OLS, the presence of two engines, speed parameters, an all-aspect OVT, price / performance ratio.

[Grits]

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

In what way is the Su-35 superior to the F-22/35?

Well, for example, in maneuverability. And in speed. And most importantly, in what it is much inferior - in price.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

The Americans will make more F-80 aircraft at 35 million dollars apiece than we do at 50 million dollars for the Su-35.

The speed and maneuverability will give the Su-35 a chance to evade a missile attack under favorable conditions, but the first to detect and attack the F-35 will most likely fail.

They will see our entire sky with AWACS planes, and the F-35, without turning on its radar and will not detect itself, will simply launch missiles at our planes.

How do we respond?

Our Su-30s in India could not overwhelm the F-16 of Pakistan, so why did you decide that the alignment of the Su-35 versus the F-35 would be different?

[Hexenmeister]

And where did you get the idea that AWACS will be able to detect something, or rather who will give it to them?
Where did you get the idea that these rotating mushrooms will be able to determine the coordinates of targets with the required accuracy and the required pace required to launch a V-V rocket into a fucking cloud of tens of kilometers from another moving board, and even without specifying the position of the target from the fighter's radar?
What will you do with the procedure for transmitting radicorrection signals, which in itself is a significant unmasking factor, and where did you get the idea that rotating mushrooms can do this?
And most likely, the rotating mushrooms will help in some way, but others, supposedly hidden, will have to turn on their radars, look for targets, transmit radicorrections.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Well, of course, the Americans are "stupid", they do not know why they need AWACS planes, and if they figure it out, we will ban them.

How interesting?

Probably a "bunch" of our MiG-31s, flying in from the airfield plowed by Tomahawks, will shoot them down with R-37M missiles.

And the Americans learned long ago to transfer the data to the fighter and launch the missile at the target.

So, to shout about the total superiority of the Su-35 over the F-35 is clearly not worth it.

It is not the performance characteristics of some weapon that wins, but the tactics of its use.

[Hexenmeister]

You are a strange person ... The meaning of your message was that the F-35 will fight as part of the system, and when I opposed this system with another system, in which, in particular, there would be normal electronic warfare systems, some kind of baby talk, and instead of discussing systemic issues, there were particulars about the MiG-31, some missiles and other nonsense and fairy tales. Therefore, it seems to me that you do not know systemic issues either, and that you are not strong in terms of the characteristics of individual fighter systems.

So, to shout about the total superiority of the Su-35 over the F-35 is clearly not worth it.

In the first place is the aircraft armament, and then the tactics of its use, and not vice versa. Airborne radar Н035 "Irbis" surpasses airborne radars in detection range
F-22 and F-35, and air-to-air missile
R-37M (D = 300 km) is superior in range to the longest-range air-to-air missile
AIM-120 (D = 180 km).

[Charik]

Are your Su30 in India? I wonder if your pilots are also on them?

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Indian pilots.

[Charik]

That would be the Belarusians on their Su30 with a French admixture with someone from NATO spent an uchboy - with the Poles - they have F16 or even with the Hindu Rafals - although the Indians themselves, I think the Su30 will try against their new Rafals

[Charik]

Speed, maneuverability, possibly by the amount of ammunition on board, fuel supply, and the ability to use missiles not only V-V but also V-Z

[Dread]

Quote: Ratmir_Ryazan

In what way is the Su-35 superior to the F-22/35?

The Su-35S is superior to the F-22 and F-35 in radar detection range.
The radar station on board the Su-35S N035 "Irbis" detects targets with EPR = 3 sq. m at a distance D = 400 km, and the radar on board the F-22 AN / APG-77 and the radar on board
F-35 AN / APG-81 targets with EPR = 3 sq. m at a distance D = 300 kmAnd this is all without taking into account the direct range equation.

Victory strategy - radar stations with combined with a wide range, capable of detecting aircraft of any degree of visibility + stationary airships carrying 200-500 long-range B-B missiles.

[gridasov]

Well, don't despair! Breakthrough ideas are very difficult to implement, so you need to be prepared for a lengthy process. We also promoted our projects. True at a fundamental level with new devices of the element base.

[O. Bender]

Colleague, I completely agree, an airship or aero has become on a rope, with a powerful radar, others with weapons in ... in, may well become part of an air defense system. Inexpensive and effective. To knock down a static object in the air is not an easy task. How much will the detection range increase. when the radar is raised to 5000m, I think it is not necessary to speak. Just a balloon is a consumable, if of course it is landed. But a hundred such percussion units with weapons on board, plus a dozen with radars, will certainly be an inexpensive and effective means of complementing the air defense system

stationary airships carrying 200-500 long-range V-B missiles.

F-22 and F-35 (average RCS is 0 - 3 sq. M) will be detected by the N0,4 Irbis airborne radar at a distance of ~ 035 km and then destroyed by an R-224M air-to-air missile with a range of D = 37 km (not to be confused with R-300), never reaching the launch line of its longest-range air-to-air missile AIM-37 with a range of D = 120 km.

You don't even need to think about it, because this means that we are already talking about a war with the use of tactical nuclear weapons, and special warheads have worked at each other's air bases, and again we will talk about quite duel situations.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Is not a fact. A non-nuclear war with Turkey can be imagined. More precisely, it is inevitable, a matter of scale. In the Middle East, the Black Sea region and the Caucasus. Without direct NATO intervention.
The use of nuclear weapons in this case is redundant

[Cyril G ...]

Here in this interpretation, I undoubtedly agree with you. There will be a purely local war with extremely limited goals, but in this case, there will be no talk of "They will crush by numerical superiority, with the widespread use of AWACS and EW aircraft." (Type C.)

[OgnennyiKotik]

The Turks have enough AWACS and electronic warfare aircraft of their own. NATO infoy will help 100%.
The Turks have already used them in Syria, Libya, NKR. By the way, this also explains the large losses of UAVs in Libya. The Turks could not fully work AWACS and EW in that region. Unlike Syria and NKR, where they could work from their own territory and an ally.

Unlike Syria and NKR, where they could work from their own territory and an ally.

In my opinion, the usefulness of the participation of the Turkish Avaks directly in that concert was minimal. I'm talking about NKAO.

There is no need to be carried on by the ravings of local illiterate Azerbaijanis, by the way, where did they disappear? The Turks don't even have 52 blocks. There are 30s, 40s, 50s, 50+ ...

In case of war, they will leave Turkish territory.

Obviously, not all 9 A-50s and a couple of dozen electronic warfare (RER) aircraft will be deployed to the south.

Not all. But this is aviation. IMHO in the event of such a conflict, 2/3 of the available forces will be deployed.

We need to see how many of our air forces will be in that region.

Let's count on our fingers
4 air army + Black Sea fleet.
31 GIAP (Millerovo) - 20 Su-30SM
3 GIAP (Krymsk) - 36 Su-27SM / Su-30M2.
559 BAP (Morozovsk) - 36 Su-34
368 ShAP (Budenovsk) - 36? Su-25
960 ShAP (Primorsko-Akhtarsk) - 32 Su-25
11 SAP (Marinovka) - 24 Su-24
37 ShAP - 12 Su-25, 12 Su-24
38 IAP - 33 Su-27sm / Su-27S / P / Su-30M2 / Su-27UB

43 OMSHAP - 12 Su-30SM, 12 Su-24
As a result, we have 4 VA and the Black Sea Fleet directly into the theater of operations has 102 multi-functional fighters, 36 Fighter-bombers (meaning the Su-34, to distinguish it from the Su-24), 48 front-line bombers and 72 attack aircraft.
Data from the website Milkavkaz.net (http://www.milkavkaz.com)
As we remember, the Turks have about 250 F-16s. The most modern 30 50's + and 33 50's. Let me remind the Jews have already begun to disable the 52nd blocks.

+ Air defense

The Turks can (at least try) to overload air defense with a cloud of drones. And here the SAM operators have a dilemma. Either spend expensive S-400 or S-300 missiles on cheap Bayraktars, or wait for what will come from these Bayraktars. Both options are so-so. Hope for short-range air defense? So both "Wasps" and "Armor" proved themselves against the "Bayraktars" not in the best way. True, the Armenians had the "Wasps" old, not modernized, and the Arabs were sitting at the "Shell" consoles in Libya.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Not yet. There will not be enough funds. There are about a hundred of these Bayraktars, it is not necessary to shoot down air defense systems, there are enough aircraft guns.
True, they can be used as bait.
Here is another question, the entire Black Sea coast of the Turks is in the affected area of ​​front-line aviation and OTRK from the Crimea and southern Russia. Huge losses will be inflicted, the Turks will not go to them. Istanbul and Ankara in the affected area. Our centers are not.
On the other hand, we are losing the entire Black Sea Fleet and expeditionary forces in Syria, Armenia and Georgia. We will not go for this already.
Until these threats are removed, there will be no major war. The balance of power is being respected. If one of the parties can change it, a war will start.

Yes, of course, for planes, fighters, or even attack aircraft, these drones will be very good as training targets. All that is needed is to ensure that aircraft are available at the right time in the right place.

For the group in Syria, the issue is extremely controversial. In a short-term war (in the region of a week), the suppression of supply lines will not affect. But the Turks will have to fight simultaneously on two fronts and with us and the Syrians. Of course, we don't count Armenians. There, they can really arrange an exterminatus, and Pashinyan, as you know, forbade changing the ancient MiGs in Eribuni even to SMT that are available (see Kursk) .... I will correct the naval unit - the fleets will rather be inactive - after suffering some losses. Both Turkish and ours. Well, shorter as usual.

Not another point. There were so many of them, taking into account losses, etc.

I asked the Armenians, they didn’t catch trash and don’t know how. You would have finished poking at Armenians, it’s ridiculous and sore.
Where this rubbish flew, the Armenians drove only tanks and the infantry ran.

There is only one conclusion: another remedy against the "Zulus". It is not without reason that the Israelis love UAVs so much, everyone believes that only Arabs will have to be driven. But in vain. As soon as there are no Arabs, then all their "chariots", "umbrellas" and flying unmanned trash will become an anecdote.

[Cyril G ...]

Yes?
Then I recommend you Lost Armor from which it follows that the Turks in Idlib damaged 2 Pantsyr and according to rumors it was precisely that with artillery fire and then they were restored, the Jews - one Pantsyr destroyed, the second damaged. In Libya, it is reliably lost2! (Exactly two!) Armor. One was captured and taken away, the second was destroyed and burned in the hangar. Moreover, the Turks did not present anything similar to the shooting in Karabakh.
Next, we turn to the second source - Aviation security network. From which it follows that in Libya the Turks reliably lost 10-12 Bayraktar with photo confirmation, while there were about 20 reports of their death. In Syria, 2 Anki and 2 Bayraktar were lost with photo confirmation, that is, reliably.
About the Bayraktar raids on the Armor, which ended in defeating the Armor, it is somehow unknown.

[hydrox]

This is a collective farm approach.
Our DEFENSE doctrine directly states: Russia has the right to use TNW if the number of the enemy air attacking group exceeds the defensive capabilities of our air defense, and let NATO members choose their future for themselves in this case.

[Avior]

If you mean the Military Doctrine, then there is no such thing.
The first use of nuclear weapons is possible only if the existence of Russia as a state is threatened.

[hydrox]

From the high tribunes this has been said several times already, and only instructors cannot distinguish what is written from what MUST be read between the lines or have a good memory ...
And from the textbook: if 3 hundred aircraft go to the state from dangerous directions, and at the same time a hundred ICBMs are launched, and 1000KR and Drones each - does this country have a chance to survive as a state?

[Avior]

In the case of a nuclear attack, of course, we are talking about the use of nuclear weapons, in the case of a massive nuclear attack, strategic, not tactical.
But you were the first to write about the application.
There is nothing of the kind in the doctrine.

And here everything is simple, why do they think that Russia will play in airplane tanks, and not work with the whole spectrum of weapons and means, such as it does not pose a threat to the state, but why would it? Today, this conflict does not directly bear, but indirectly, especially its consequences in the form of losses, it even bears and it is calculated at times, respectively, and the decision will be made up to the strategic nuclear forces .. But in this case, all the arguments from the apologists of the wretchedness and backwardness of our country and the army crumble into dust ... if robbers are bursting into your apartment and you have a gun, you will shoot from it, and then think about the consequences, as it says, let twelve judge me than carry six ...

[Cyril G ...]

Well, in general, that is, there is reason to believe that in the affected area of ​​the R-77 F-22 / F-35 will be quite visible to themselves.On the other hand, our visible deficiency in the Air Force is an obvious insufficient number of RTR aircraft, AWACS and tankers.

[bar]

Will it have enough characteristics to be called a fighter for air superiority in the age of stealth technology? This question is still unanswered

I would put the question differently - is stealth enough to gain air superiority in the era of super-maneuverability technologies? No answer...

[HAM]

"With a good engine and the fence will fly" (c), in the case of the F-35, the pipe flies. The whole emphasis is on stealth, a blow from afar, from the undercover ...

"... from afar, from the undercover ..." And what's wrong with that? Just fine (for them) if it really works.

Exactly, if it really works, which is far from a fact.
Perhaps they themselves guess about this, otherwise how to explain the suspension of full-scale serial production of the F-35.

[Cyril G ...]

Well, as if the Air Force again began to order Igles, and the Navy did not stop buying SuperHornets.

[hydrox]

Of course, it will not work: the US already know that the Armament of the Russian Aerospace Forces has been equipped with a RVV-BD (R-80)) since the end of the 37s, which has a launch range of over 300 km - the US has 100 km less.
Therefore, the fushka will not get close to drying imperceptibly, even if the drying radar is 50 km worse than the fushka's radar, but the flight qualities of an uncouth log will not allow the fushka to dodge the P-37, and drying makes such a maneuver easy and dodges almost guaranteed.

This tale about stealth, Americans talk about despair! These flying buckets are American, only the Zulus in Africa cannot see!

[Pavel73]

An American fighter cannot remain invisible, as it will have to turn on the radar to detect the enemy at long range. It's like turning on a searchlight in the middle of the night, and thereby discovering yourself. If the radar is not turned on, then the use of passive electro-optical systems equalizes the chances. The decisive advantage for the Americans is not stealth, but AWACS. We have disastrously few AWACS aircraft, and most of them require modernization.

[TatarinSSSR]

Well, at least one adequate comment

[voyaka uh]

"It's like turning on a spotlight in the middle of the night, and thereby discovering yourself" ///
----
Have the stealth designers thought about that?
Read about LPI mode:
A low-probability-of-intercept radar (LPIR) is a radar employing measures to avoid detection by passive radar detection equipment (such as a radar warning receiver (RWR), or electronic support receiver) while it is searching for a target or engaged in target tracking. This characteristic is desirable in a radar because it allows finding and tracking an opponent without alerting them to the radar's presence. This also protects the radar installation from anti-radiation missiles (ARM).
Pay attention to the phrase:
without alerting them to the radar presence
The F-22 and F-35 have just such radars.

[Hexenmeister]

Maybe it's enough to tell a fairy tale? In order to detect a target at the required range, it is imperative to study a signal with a certain energy. There will be no energy in the signal, there will be no detection range, and once energy is emitted, it can always be detected. And everything that is written in English is suitable for "Birch" forty years ago.

Absolutely.

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: voyaka uh

Read about LPI mode:

Stop telling ridiculous tales. The figure Dob = 193 km for a fighter-type target, which fundamentally refutes the laws of physics, has nothing to do with reality. Nevertheless, the LPI mode and reality, only the declared covert mode is possible at a distance of 40-60 km, and then the work of such a radar is completely revealed by modern STR. Only the ancient stations of the 70s - 80s will not find it.

[voyaka uh]

Su-35 is a wonderful aircraft.
I can only tell you that the US Air Force has repeatedly conducted
training battles F-22 and F-35 against aircraft of the 4th generation F-16 and F-15,
equipped with modern AFARs.
Without the participation of AWACS aircraft from one side or the other.
In these training battles, the F-15 and F-16 were recognized as conditionally shot down on medium
distances before they spotted F-22 or F-35 aircraft.
All of the above, of course, has nothing to do with the Su-35.

[Cyril G ...]

Fairy tales are good .... ridiculous fairy tales are sometimes even funny. Want to believe in delirium for God's sake.
All this reminds of an anecdote about an old man turning to a doctor, saying that my neighbor is younger than me for a year, or maybe a woman three or four times a night, and I say only once a month
- the doctor answered him that you are so worried, you yourself tell him that you can 7 times, business that.

[Charik]

so the Su27 flew to the yusa and slapped the bream F15mu

Am I arguing? They are similar, with a good pilot it is quite possible to defeat the F-15.

Deliberately write not the truth, but a lie!
The radars of the F-22 and F-35 aircraft are inferior to the Russian ones in terms of detection range.
1. Onboard radar "Irbis" N035 has a detection range of D = 400 km on a target with RCS = 3 sq. m and will find F-22 (F-35) with an average RCS = 0,3 sq. m (0,4 sq. m) at a range of D ~ 224,9 km
(D = 241,7 km). Values ​​for F-35 are indicated in brackets.
2. Onboard radars AN / APG-77 F-22 and AN / APG-81 F-35 have identical parameters in terms of detection range, which is D = 300 km for targets with an average RCS = 3 sq. m and find a Su-35S with an average
EPR = 1,5 sq. m at a distance of D = 252,2 km. However, in order to hit the air-to-air AIM-120 with a range of D = 180 km with its long-range missile, the F-22 and F-35 aircraft must reach the launch line at a range of D = 180 km, so they will be detected by the Su-35S on range D ~ 224,9 km (241,7 km) and destroyed guaranteed by an air-to-air missile R-37M with a range of D = 300 km. And with the Su-57 - the F-22 and F-35 have no a priori chances.

[hydrox]

An excellent analysis, but it upsets the liberda to the point of losing consciousness, so they will minus the statesmen, and not even for the truth, but for revealing the Liberdian lie!
And it doesn't matter that the plane is not very fuchik, but the radar is taxable, and there is no AIMka at all - and they cannot do better than ours, but they push the "flying hippos" so that the brains of the partners are boiling!

Since the collapse of the Union - the current military aviation - has lost a tremendous amount of time - the US F 22 in combat units since 2005 (passing the necessary upgrades - initially cruising on supersonic, powerful radar, stealth technology - no matter how bad), (F 35 produced 600 ) - what is happening with the 5th generation, you can not say - for someone this is a victory, someone understands that due to various problems - they have lagged behind more than 20 years - and the number of Su 35 in 100 units is clearly not enough.

The plane is not bad, so honestly, they are all good.
And the rest, how it goes ...

[TatarinSSSR]

A one-on-one or two-on-two air battle in our time is possible only in peacetime, for example, in an incident when a border is violated or when escorting some kind of aircraft. That is, someone on the one hand made a piloting error or lost their nerves. And off it went. All parties are trying to prevent this from happening. In a real war, in the first days there will be hundreds of aircraft and other targets in the air, and single battles will be rare. Pilot training, reconnaissance, ground air defense, the integrity of airfields, the operation of ground radars, electronic warfare, and so on will decide a lot there. So there is no point in comparing one to one.

[Turist1996]

Yes, yes, especially the "penguin" is "inferior"!

[Zaurbek]

There is an analogue of F15SE & EX here with them and you need to compare .......

Personally, they probably didn’t show it to you, and so the F-22 rather convincingly outperformed the F-15. And the F-15 is the type of fighter with the highest real combat score.

However, I have not seen in this topic statements that the F-22 is the best in the world, and I myself do not claim this.

[Radiator]

If winning over the F-15 is an indicator for you, then for me it is an anecdote. It is important that the F-35 was merged in training battles with Su-kam 4 ** generations, this is an indicator. And we did not see the F-22 in training battles with peers.

All the vaunted invisibility of American stealth aircraft is just publicity.

=======
In general, no "invisibility"does not exist a priori! From the word AT ALL! There is"stealth", ie a set of measures to reduce the RCS of the object. This is of course an important factor, increasing efficiency combat use of an aircraft, ship, etc., but by no means a "panacea for all ills"! In addition, such a component of reducing the radar signature, such as radio-absorbing coatings, simply cannot be effective. in all radio frequency ranges. And in this way it is created in such a way that the maximum absorption falls on the most common for modern airborne radar ranges! For frequencies beyond the maximum of the absorption spectrum, then the entire "absorbing coating" is converted ...... "Trousers are converted ..... Sorry for the little technical problem! ..."

The same applies to air defense, where radars operate in the widest range: from meter to millimeter range.
Well, about the fact that ANY subtle the object instantly turns very even perceptible when you turn on your own radar - you, Peter, have already written!
PS "Stealth" -technology underestimate of course not, but overestimate - also!
Happy New Year!

I also support the New One!

Su-35 equipment:
- a more advanced radar with AFAR with new capabilities in the detection range of targets with a small EPR, that is, the so-called. stealth;
- new engines upgraded according to the Su-57 program, this is an increase in the combat radius without increasing the fuel reserve, and non-afterburner supersonic, which means a reduction in flight time;
- entering service with new air-to-air missiles, also developed for the Su-57.

In principle and by and large, if the above is done, the Su-35 will be enough for the next one and a half to two decades. Taking into account R&D, the development of new technologies under the Su-57 program and the fact that we are late, the latter should only become a transitional stage to the 6th generation, if there is no conflict of a global nature before that. It is more profitable for us to gradually transfer efforts to the next generation and go there head to head, and not to be again in the role of a catch-up.

[Hexenmeister]

more advanced radar with AFAR with new capabilities

To begin with, at least repeat with the help of AFAR, what has already been done on the Irbis (detection range, zones of possible pumping of corners for the antenna), and even for the same price, and then talk about improving through AFAR!

[_Ugene_]

as well as radio-absorbing coverage

Where did they see the radio-absorbing coverage on the Su-35, can they show us?

[Zomanus]

Again, as with tanks, they are discussing a one-on-one battle. Yes, this is possible, but unlikely. Therefore, it would be more interesting to discuss this fight in terms of network centricity.

[Radiator]

About the F-35, I would not rush to say so in their place

[Peaceful SEO]

At the same time, American fighters can strike while in invisibility

Oh, those copywriters ... victims of computer strategies

[tarakanovaleksei]

Are they consoling themselves or what? I remember there was an article (I don't remember which edition of the USA), where the su 35 was compared with the f35, calling the first a problem for the f35 and calling the su 35 the deadliest aircraft (this is after the air operations in Syria). that the f3.01.2021, or rather the conveyor for its production, was stopped., due to the lack of quality of the machines produced.
