Looks like a bent-up dicknose F15.

I would put a months pay on this VS the SU35, any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Can engage 15 targets at the same time,pull 40g's in a turn, and the pilot never blacks out.

Ordnance.

The SU35 is a reverse engineered F15 with bigger engines, and therefore less range. It is also built in Russia, with Russian quality standards of the late 90's.

It would not compete with an F15, much less an F22.

F15's are some bad mofo's. One of my favorite strike fighters.

One of my fellow pilots here at AA just finished out his 20 and a wakeup on the 15. He was in the Nuke strike pack up at Elmendorf AFB. AF Academy grad and one time was the youngest Colonel in the AF. Small group of guys. What that aircraft can do (F-15) by his accounts is just amazing.
The airframe's potential is truly limited by the human in the cockpit.

I believe it. They can carry a ton of shit too.

LOL our old junker F15 that was designed in the 60's is still better than glorious mother Russia's finest

That was copied from it part for part...

The latest SU-35 is a highly capable 4th generation aircraft that can pretty much meet the current F-15s toe to toe.

The current F-15 has a slight advantage in Beyond Visual Range (BVR) combat while the SU-35 has the advantage close-in. (WVR)

Mano e Mano, the difference would be decided in training\tactics.

(Not that air combat ever happens in a vacuum.... ROE\AWACS\data link\other aircraft)

All bets are off once stealth aircraft are considered... the SU-35 still shows up as a flying barn on radar....
