Your argument revolve around conventional trade-offs between single-engine design and twin-engine design. Conventional benefits of twin-engine design are good for bragging in an online discussion but survivability is increasingly important in a modern battlespace.
This is utter rubbish. There no law that governs aircraft abilities based on how many engines the aircraft has. All the traits I mentioned such as supcruise, range, payload and maneuverability is not exclusive to twin engine aircraft and are also found on single engine aircraft.
As for survivability, having the ability to carry long range standoff cruise missiles
increases survivability. Having supercruise not only
increases survivability due to IR reduction but it also increases range and decreases cost. Having a high degree of maneuverability also
increases survivability.
I'm not "bragging" about anything, I'm stating facts which you can not come to terms with, you made some wildly absurd claims based on your blind bias.
F-15C is twin-engine design and is renowned for its performance in combat operations, super cruise potential, thrust vectoring, range, payload capacity and maneuverability - usual stuff for bragging in discussions.
Yet:-
"A former F-15C instructor pilot said he consistently beat his former jet in mock dogfights." - The National Interest
F-15C > F-35 in several aspects much like SU-57 (your argument) but F-35 will make short work of F-15C in a battlespace because F-35 is superior in aspects which will make difference in the face of emerging realities - aspects which cannot be explained with some ACRONYMS (my argument).
This is not even an argument. You have stooped to making up claims. No one doubts the F-15s fine combat capabilities but that has nothing to do with the argument. Tell us where you got information about the SU-57s capabilities? What "aspects" is the F-35 "superior" in? As far as I recall there is nothing publicly available to gauge how good the SU-57s radar, missiles, ECW systems, or RCS are. The same holds true for the F-35. You are simply making fanboy claims.
We do know other, not so secret, information about the SU-57 and F-35 that clearly is in favor of the SU-57, in which it has real advantages and advantages that translates to survivability but you keep ignoring it.
This reality does not bode well for SU-57 either because Russians are thinking short-term. Nevertheless, A for effort.
By the way:
That is not a cruise missile and has 1/3 the range of the KH-59MK2. Since you are so big on survivability which aircraft has better survivability, the one that can fire well out of range of enemy radars and missiles or the one that has to come close enough to be in the threat zone?
I know nothing? As if information is not available on the web?
Show me information about the SU-57 avionics. There is literally almost boning out there. It's not much better for the F-35. Yet you have become an expert in what these aircrafts avionics are capable of.
And you have tested SU-57, F-35 and F-22 in person or something?
That is what I asked you. Have you tested those aircraft? Because as i recall You are the one that has been making claims about the SU-57 being inferior.
I just pointed out to you that SU-57 does not have DAS which is an important characteristic of F-35 (DAS is not just a component but something really big - a design philosophy which will revolutionize combat operations in the years to come). I can draw additional comparisons for you, to let you know where else SU-57 falls short in comparison to F-35 alone, and I have yet to start with F-22.
Your attempt to sell SU-57 as a superior aircraft to F-35 and F-22 on the whole - is not going to fly. Just admire the bird for what it is.
Not this DAS crap again. It's a big marketing gimmick, It is nothing more then a situational awareness suit. Most modern aircraft has IRST, RWRs, most modern radar have the ability and resolution to track and targets such as missiles. The only unique feartuture is the supposed hard kill system in which is not combat proven nor do we know if the SU-57 or Chinese aircraft use something similar because they simply have not revealed much.
DAS, is a great marketing gimmick but all the same optical sensors are found on the SU-57 and then some.
