I have always like the sleek look of the Flanker series of aircraft.

Too bad they only built one SU-37 with the 3d thrust vectoring nozzels as a flight demonstrator, then crashed it. There are currently 0 operational Russian fighters equiped with super manuverability. They have a handfull of technology demostrators and that's it. The proposed SU-35 Super Flanker which is supposed to go into full scale production by 2011 IIRC will have the option to install the thrust vectoring nozzels but it wont be standard for all of them. Never mind the complete lack of stealth technology.

Yet the US has the Raptor in squadron service. Super manuverablity, super cruise, stealth.

But beyond that regarding the F-15. I think a 200+ to none kill ratio in air to air combat speaks for itself.

You know better than that. Superior aircraft flown by expertly trained pilots, equiped with state of the art avionics and weapons = 200+ to none kill ratio.

Even if the Russians had fielded a complete squadron of combat operational SU-37's, I'd still put my money on a squadron of F-15's to win the battle.

Any fighter that lacks a stealth component has a very serious weakness to deal with in a war time scenario.

From wiki ''The F-15 in all air forces had an air-to-air combined record of 104 kills to 0 losses in air combat as of February 2008.[43] To date, no air superiority versions of the F-15 (A/B/C/D models) have ever been shot down by enemy forces. Over half of F-15 kills were achieved by Israeli Air Force pilots.''

Mind you this also from wiki''An earlier variant of the Sukhoi Su-30MKI, the MK, took part in war games with the United States Air Force (USAF) during Cope-India 04, where USAF F-15 Eagles were pitted against Indian Air Force (IAF) Su-30MKs, Mirage 2000s, MiG-29s and elderly MiG-21. The results have been widely publicized, with the Indians winning "90% of the mock combat missions".[42]''

Good call Kaaza didn't take long at all.  Doesn't matter about the number of Flankers in service nor of their tech.  Like I said I like how sleek it looks.  The Swedes also know how to make some sleek looking planes.

Dont really need to. There aint going to be any pirouetting Aces High style dogfights. On opening night the enemy is going to get hit with a barrage of thousands of precision munitions. Leadership, communication, air defense/radar,transportation....<poof>! After that, after all that, we could own the air with legacy F-16s.

You dont get the Yank military piece by piece http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/index.html. You get the entire thing landing on your head. The enemy does anyways.

No reason at all to compare fighters vis-a-vis dogfighting ability anymore.

The only thing the Sukhoi's do better are Ejection Seat Demonstrations.
