Shejt Big difference is that those Russian aircraft have thrust vectoring and most are just showbirds not ready for combat. Most of Russia’s Air Force comprises of aircraft without thrust vectoring, and you won’t find any performing at this level. A good example is to look at the Russian Knights , which are combat ready Su-27’s,and they don’t do anything near what you’ll find the F-35 performing here in this video.

ChipMIK I am talking about the early model. When the F-16 first came out it had no redundancy for its fly-by-wire system. Now it’s quadruple redundant. The lack of redundancy and the problems it was having with its single engine resulted in many crashes that gave the F-16 the nickname the Lawn Dart. Is it really necessary to be such a prick if you don’t agree with someone, or are you someone with an inferiority complex who gets his jollies by criticizing others?

@Slendrianen Sorry, my mistake. I swore that I heard it on some documentary channel, but I have been doing some research and cannot find anything to support it. Thank you for your service and for correcting me.

I am most impressed with its minimum radius turn and its sheer power when climbing. Russian trolls love to boast about the agility of their aircraft, but mostly what is shown is going low and slow performing high bleed maneuvers that you won’t find in real combat. Show me any combat ready Russian aircraft displaying the power and agility shown here, especially one that doesn’t have thrust vectoring. The Russian Knights are a good example.They fly combat ready Su-27’s and no where will you find them performing at this level.

AK97 You mean with Su’s and Migs that are stripped of their avionics and other unnecessary equipment so that they can perform at their highest level? You never find combat ready Su’s or Migs doing anything impressive.

Tommy the Cat Not at all. The USA learned from the F-16 mistakes of not having redundant systems. It’s flight record is actually quite good for the hundreds of thousands flight hours it has.

W Zen Bullshit . Show me any Russian fighter without thrust vectoring that performs better instantaneous and sustained turn rates, or even better the Falling Leaf.

Wrong, unless you count showbird Su-27's that have been stripped of all unnecessary weight for maximum performance.

Womboning Russia has shown it with their showbirds that aren’t combat ready and only the versions that have thrust vectoring. Look at the Russian Knights as an example. They are combat ready, yet you won’t find them perform anything as impressive as what you’re seeing the F-35 perform. Show me any video of a Russian Su or MiG that is combat ready and doesn’t have thrust vectoring, which is the majority of Russia’s AF, perform the high instant and sustained turn rates, or even the Falling Leaf, that you can find the F-35 perform. There’s no doubt that Russia has some very maneuverable aircraft, but when you look at the entire picture, they are way out of their league.

Cobradriver99 Not combat ready ones with ordinance hanging on their wings.

Matty mo Excellent posting! Thanks.

@feelingacoustic5143 You mean Russian jets that are showbirds that have been stripped of the avionics and other excess weight only needed in combat? The Russian Su's and Migs that you see are not combat ready. Look at the Russian Knights as an example. They are combat ready Su-27's, and now where will you find them being able to perform anything near the abilities shown by the F-35 in this video. From sustained, to instant turn rates, ability to recover from high bleed maneuvers, the F-35 shown here is significantly better. Plus, when you put ordinance on the wings of those Su's and Migs, that creates drag and wing weight, which reduces the Su's and Mig's top-end speed, ability to recover, and its agility. The F-35 doesn't have this problem because its weapons are stored internally and near the center of the fuselage. It has nothing to do with propaganda, which Russia is the king of, but simple physics and common sense.

Charles R Lol, same hood that I used to live. I became a F-16 junkie watching them constantly fly over.

Oh really? Compare the F-35 here to the Russian Knights Su-27's and you'll find that the Flankers have nothing on it. The Su-27's that you see at airshows are usually stripped of all non-essential weight needed for a maximum performance for an airshow, and they are not combat ready. The Russian Knights are however combat ready Su-27's, and they don't come close to what you're seeing here in this video.

Kelly4370 There’s a big difference. Those Su’s are showbirds with thrust vectoring. They’ve been stripped of non-essential weight for performing at their peak so they’re stripped of anything not needed for just an airshow,like avionics. They are not combat ready. Plus, most of Russia’s Air Force consists of older fighters without thrust vectoring. You won’t find any Su or MiG that is combat ready performing anything near what you’ll find here in this video. Just go watch the Russian Knights, which are combat ready Su-27’s. The F-35’s instant and sustained turn rates are much better, and you won’t find any Russian Su or MiG without thrust vectoring be able to perform the Falling Leaf, which is a 360 degree flat spin. And finally, when you add weapons to those Su’s, it creates wing and drag weight, which reduces the aircraft’s agility, speed, and ability to recover from high bleed maneuvers. That’s not an issue for the F-35 as its weapons are stored internally and near the center of the fuselage.

It went and hid in a corner, just like how it hid at a Russian air base in Syria when USA aircraft were bombing Russian mercenaries for four hours while F-22’s flew cover, despite being only minutes away.
1
Maybe a showbird Su-35 that has been stripped, but not a combat ready one.

Jpm King Not an accurate comment at all. If you did some research you would find one instance, but that was when it was in testing phases and a particular system was being checked. The F-35 at that time was even cleared for performing at its full potential. Since then the F-35 has been kicking ass, including against the Viper.
1
Jpm King Search here on YouTube for “F-35 pilot interview; why the F-35 lost to the F-16”, and go to the 5:25 mark, and you will find that it was a single test point, not a DACT exercise. I am sure you’ve read about how it dominated at Red Flag back in February. It went up against Aggressor squadrons that have both F-15 and 16’s and came out with a 20:1 kill rate, which is phenomenal for a multirole aircraft.

Jpm King Do you really think that I am going to believe Sputnik, a Russian government controlled media source known for its anti-USA rhetoric and fake news? All aircraft have their issues, especially early on. The F-35 has been heavily criticized from the start, before it even went into production. People like Sprey we’re making ridiculous comments about its abilities and it hadn’t even begun testing. As more aircraft have been built and time has gone by it has been proving all its doubters wrong. Development pains is called the maturity curve of the aircraft’s lifecycle. The F-16 is a good example. Early on it struggled, but now it is still one of the most sought after aircraft in the world, with even older used ones in demand. And at least the F-35 can shoot its air to air guns and missiles in flight, something that the Su-57 has never achieved. Russia knows it cannot compete so its only way of fighting against it and to try to sway public opinion against it is to spread fake news or exaggerate the problems. It hasn’t worked. Nearly 400 have been built and more countries have placed orders. The Su-57 lost its only outside customer India, and its numbers to be produced has drastically gone down.

Jpm King Unfortunately accidents happen. It’s not like the USA is trying to intentionally kill them. It’s not like Russia that intentionally bombed hospitals in Syria, or supported a regime that intentionally used chemical weapons on innocent people.
1
@jpmking9635 It's up to you to show me that the Su-57 can shoot its guns in flight, not me. Here's the F-35 doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcdQEdwVIPQ Now you show me that it has shot it guns in flight. It's impossible to prove something that has never happened. That's a stupid trick that Russian trolls use all the time. Here's the F-35 shooting A2A missiles in flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT6oFj7Rjy4 Show me the Su-57, lol
1
@jpmking9635 What hypersonic missiles? You mean those missiles that Russia boasts about all the time but has never actually shown them in flight for longer than 5 seconds? LOL. Let me give you an example of what real proof looks like. Here's the X-51 Waverider, a hypersonic missile of the the US's almost 10 years ago breaking the world's record for flight duration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZUwKX3_uE4 You can't find one video of a Russian hypersonic missile lasting more than five seconds. Don't be a gullible fool and believe such obvious Russian propaganda.
1
@jpmking9635 HAHAHA So fake. You would have to be a gullible idiot to think that's real. LMAO Tell me, what is the name of that hypersonic missile in that video? You can't because there are no missiles that start off at that speed. You're hilarious. You're the one who has only talked shit. I am still waiting for you to show me the Su-57 shooting guns or missiles in flight. You can't. I am still waiting for you to show a real hypersonic missile of Russia's that is REAL and not the shit that you just cited. I still cannot stop laughing. You're just a Putinbot who spreads lies about the US. Why are you even here on YouTube? Why don't you go to Russia's shit version called RuTube? In fact, you're here on US owned YouTube, using a computer that has US technology, using the internet, which was invented by the US, and through routers originally created by the US. Tell me, WTF has Russia done in the last 30 years other than talk shit? Don't you know what honesty means, credibility? It' why no one really cares what Putinbots like you write. Nothing but bullshit. Russia is so great that it has a very long history of copying from the West. Take your bullshit somewhere else, like to RuTube. LOL. You don't see Americans going to RuTube and spreading lies about Russia. It just shows how desperate your country is.

@jpmking9635 What failures of the US? It's not the US that copies Russia, but the other way around. Want some examples? I have a nice long list. Plus, it's not like Russia who has hired an army of trolls to spead lies and hate. "The Kremlin's Troll Army" https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/08/the-kremlins-troll-army/375932/ "Effort to Expose Russia’s ‘Troll Army’ Draws Vicious Retaliation" https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/31/world/europe/russia-finland-nato-trolls.html "Russia's army of "trolls" lead Putin's online propaganda campaign" https://www.foxnews.com/world/russias-army-of-trolls-lead-putins-online-propaganda-campaign How fucking pathetic. You're a dumbass. Do you even know what Avangard is? It's a hypersonic glide vehicle. It doesn't take off at hypersonic speeds dummy, it glides from the the ICBM at hypersonic speeds. It's nothing special as today's ICBM's carry warheads that are already traveling at over Mach 20. Is this too difficult for you to understand? WTF, are you still in grade school? I'm still waiting for your examples of the Su-57 shooting its guns and missiles in flight. LOL, stupid-ass troll. If you're being paid, they should fire you. You're doing a horrible job and only further embarrassing Russia. Come on Putinbot, can't you comment once without lying? You're all talk, all BS. It must be sad to be a dumbass like you who has no common sense.

Rick Jones Great find, Rick! Thanks for sharing.

Maybe not at going low and slow performing maneuvers that are only for show and not real combat.

Kazi Ovi The S-400 is in Syria. It can only do so much. You need to realize that it cannot see over the horizon and the more advanced air forces know how to limit their effectiveness.

Chris Griffin Exactly! Last I read is that he’s in a band. lol

BS. Point out exactly where and then compare it to its competitors when pulling such high g's.

Lucky you. I used to live in Phoenix near Luke AFB, but back then they mainly had F-16’s. They’re fun to watch, but I would love to watch the F-35. I did see it at an airshow, and its silhouette above was almost sinister. It looks so bad ass.
