I wonder how they match up against the su 35/57

F-35’s only real advantage is the stealth. Other than that, with only a single engine they are completely outmatched by Su-35/57. If they are exposed by powerful ground-based radars, then they’re practically sitting ducks.

The Su-57M with the new Russian made Saturn AL-51F-1 engines (to be deployed in 2025) will have the capacity to super-cruise at Mach 2. The F-35 cannot super-cruise and can only exceed Mach 1 for a limited time with afterburner.

At twice the speed and twice the range of F-35s, once detected, the Su-57Ms will be able to close in on the F-35s at 700km/h! If it gets to this point, there is nothing the F-35s can do against the Russian planes - they have to stay invisible throughout.

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today .

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
