Sir what could be a realistic head to head?That still doesn't make sense. Let's see, so if the current number of active -22's is 187, we would imagine that every single one of them, whether single sear or dual, had to go on training mission. So 187 jets went off on 2 training missions each for example (which is almost nothing, but let's go with 2 missions in each jets life so far lol). That gives you 374 combat flights (again, the number should be in thousands really).
So supposedly these planes flew 374 training missions and in each mission, the pilots had to fly against a larger contingent of -15's and -16's, to make sure the pilot and the jet are trained and effective in the role designed for them, which is air superiority. So each single jet, when took out half a dozen -15's in simulated combat, that means over 2244 simulated kills had to be recorded so far as each combat flight would result in that number so you take 6*374 = 2294.
Now add reality that the fact is, each pilot flies a LOT more than 2 combat training flights.....so in simulated combat like this, for each -22, you'd have killed like hundreds of plane over many combat simulations. This is all fan boy stuff and makes no real sense.
The only real comparison is, how effective is a jet, in one light, with its fuel and allowed weapons. The answer is, it takes out about half a dozen of enemy jets, before it can be "seen" with modern avionics. If someone isn't running 4.5 gen tech, then theoretically, you could take out 8 jets per combat mission. But you can't kill or simulate more kills than what you can do in actual combat .........
yeah it would be a worry for sure.
Sir you see, We donot have much of a option either. Maybe worst case scenario we may aquire a few F35s. But being said that, I have every confidence in Sukhoi to overcome all the issues & make PakFA a success.![]()
Still you dont get it...
