Greatest "what-if" of all time? Not in the slightest. I find the Mig1.44 highly overrated and I struggle to see anything revolutionary in its design (and I don't care one bit what the paper specs Claim it might have been able to do). The Rockwell X-31, Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon, and British Aerospace EAP were all far more interesting than the Mig1.44. And the Su-57 thus far has been an underwhelming Gen4+ fighter at best, leading me to believe the Mig1.44 would have been worse than the Su-57.
F-20, F8U-3 Crusader III, F-107, F-108, Miles M.52, Martin Baker MB5, Super Tomcat, and others are far more compelling what-ifs, in my opinion.
