F35 FIFTH gen fighter a Sitting Duck against Flankers & Co

[Oldman1]

Beyond visual kills are rare check the stats

Check the stats, most kills the last few years are air to air, not guns. You wanna try getting close to the F-35?

 

[wiseone2]

personally I THINK the latest 4th generation fighters like

Typhoon
Rafale
SU35/MKI
F15/E/K silent Eagle and new F16/70

ARE STILL THE BEST ALL ROUND FIGHTERS and far cheaper to buy and operate

they are cheaper to buy and operate
how do they stack against f-22 ?

F22,raptor has tvc engines just like the Russian flankers. Which the f35 does not have.

F22,raptor are bigger more load more fuel.

This coupled with the cutting edge radard and cockpit though inferior to f35 makes the raptor the bext in the world..

Fourth gen fighters can't touch the raptor due Bv with stealth or go within. Range due to tvc engines
