  1. The problem with slowing down that much is that it makes the aircraft a sitting duck. People tend to forget that there are usually numerous fighters in the air, and often the opposing fighter that you don’t see is the one that gets you. If you watch any fighter documentaries, you’ll find one constant, all the pilots say the key to survival is maintaining your energy. They call slowing down “bleeding energy” and it’s usually not recommended if you want to increase your chances of survival.

  2.  @christophercates5257  It’s only rumors and fake info that Russian jets are more maneuverable. Go watch videos and what you’ll find is that their maneuvers are essentially going low and sky performing low-g maneuvers. That doesn’t work in real combat. Don’t believe me. I’ll give you a few examples. - Look up 2008 Red Flag Nellis exercises. What you’ll find is a F-15 pilot discussing how they defeated Su-30MKI over and over in dogfights. - Go to YouTuber channel The Ready Room. He’s a former F-18C pilot, and he has a video where his F-18 beat a Malaysian Su-30, which had thrust vectoring, three out of three times. - There are also a couple cases of dogfights in both Iraq and Serbia where the F-15 came out on top defeating MiG-29s. The Russian fighters at air shows look amazing, but you won’t find aircraft in real combat going that slow performing low-g turns that only makes them sitting ducks.

  3.  @christophercates5257  I should have mentioned in my post above is to look into the analysis performed on each aircraft that participated in the MMRCA tender. Russia’s MiG-35 was part of the competition. Despite how incredible it looks at air shows, it performed horribly against western aircraft. The only area it did well was top-end speed, which is helpful when you’re trying to bogey out of a dogfight. You can also maintain energy when turning by doing rolls instead of sharp turns. That’s how US pilots in Nam beat MiGs in their F-4s. Read up about Operation Bolo.

  4.  @christophercates5257  I don’t know what happened to my other post so in shorter sentences it’s just fake Russian nonsense that Russian fighters are better dogfighters. They look impressive at airshows, but going low and slow doesn’t work in real combat. For instance, in both Iraq and Serbia F-15s beat MiG-29s in WVR. At Red Flag Nellis 2008 F-15s repeatedly beat Su-30MKIs. Go to YouTube channel The Ready Room and watch how a F-15 defeats a Malaysian Su-30 three out of three times.

  5. The US has been fielding AESA for over two decades, and it’s in thousands of aircraft. Russia’s still struggling to put its first AESA in fighters, and yet you think Russia is ahead? Hahaha It’s the US that’s the leader. Russia’s technological behind in almost everything that you can imagine. You’re bragging about Russia’s air defenses, but you’re oblivious to how easily the Ukrainians are striking strategic targets not only in Ukraine but in Russia.
