  1. The US has shifted more to a "sniper" role in the air and away from a dogfighting role. The exposed hard points on this thing would have exposed it to the F-22's crosshairs long before it even has a clue that the F-22 was there. A kung fu grandmaster can brag about his acrobatic flips and tricks all he wants but what good are they against an almost invisible sniper a mile away? That's pretty much the metaphor to describe Russia's military aircraft mindset vs the US's. Russian pilots love to tell you about all these things they can do, but the US pilot will tell you he just casually pushes a button and the Russian pilot would be dead before he knew it.

  2. The swept forward wings airplane had 1 major fan – GI Joe. Their second fighter craft after the F-14 imitation (with moving wings!) was something similar to the Russian swept-forward design. For that reason, I would like to watch that video!

    Russia: oh… umm… we are still ahead of you…

  4. The Su 57 has official 4 qm radar reflection that's not Stealf. micrometer radar detect every plane but it's short range. Russia has nothing comparebil to US.
