Su37 vs F22
« Reply #30 on: May 04, 2003, 03:15:12 AM »
The SU-37 would require an absolute master, a 20+ year, highly experienced flight test veteran to beat a regular USAF GI in a F22.

Plain and simple.  

Ever seen russian workmanship "up close"?

Airframe construction is frightening with those folks......

Im guessing that in a short but EXPLOSIVE war, it would cost 10 SU37s for each F22.

Problem is you could buy 12 SU-37s for each F22.

Go figure....................... ....

Production price is 89mil for a F22 on an order of 200+.  How much does an Su37 cost?

Manned fighters will be obsolete, maybe in my lifetime.

I agree suave.  Many fighters can pull 18-20gs, but humans cant survive that for more than milliseconds.

thats true suave.

In the future, AH pilots will be piloting unmanned F-22 in their houses and feel like as if they're playing Falcon 3.0 on PC

having an unmanned fighter aircraft can save USAF/USN $1,000,000 for each pilot who recieves training on how to manned F-22s
