Russian jets are very good on paper on average but majority of them have failed to deliver in high-tech engagement situations since 1980. Iraq, Syria, Libya and Serbia; each was a major exporter of Russian arms (combat aircraft in particular) and USAF made short work of defenses of each in a war.We will see about your claims. Talk is cheap. Let the Russians roll out their Su-57 fighter and we will talk after that. The whole world is sick and tired of arrogant Yanks bragging and making tall claims.

F-15 was good enough to shoot down a satellite in 1985.

Talk is cheap indeed; Russians need to prove that SU-57 is up to the task or not. Thus far, SU-57 has failed to impress even India: http://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zon...tched-its-stealth-fighter-program-with-russia
Yanks have a reason to laugh in this case.
SU-57 isn't on the level of F-22 Raptor in the matters of stealth and otherwise.Dude I'm a teenager so yea I have not seen the inside of a cockpit. And I only posted the article cos it seemed interesting.
The article outlines how a Russian stealth fighter can be detected but leaves out the fact that a raptor can be detected by same methods.
