etc etc etc. Honestly, not trying to troll, but why do people get such a hard-on for these Russian planes? There are acrobatic prop planes that are more nimble that either the Su or the F-22, but it doesn't make them a good fighter plane. The MiG-29 is a whopping 0-18+ in encounters with other fourth generation aircraft. Only confirmed kills for the Sukhois have been against MiGs. Compare that to the F-15's 104-0 air combat record. Russian fighters may make for pretty demos at airshows, but hell, they can't even stop them from falling out of the sky there. And yet every time someone posts about the F-22, there's this horde of people who must INSIST that a Russian fighter that has never engaged in combat, much less entered production is teh awesome. . .
Well said.
i agree. there's nothing like the F-22.
