No other modern age jet plane come even close to those classic lines.

Wow, 92 of them against prehistoric MiG21. And the rest against 20 year old barely maintained MiG29,I'm sure it was tough:)

I'd still put my money on the F-15 (against the soon to be barely maintained SU-37)  :airplane:

Sukhoi's website. Little research huh?

Take a look at the SU-27, read the specs and history of the aircraft and tell me there are operational SU-27's flying with thrust vectoring. Prototypes yes, operational no.

The SU-30 has the OPTION of mounting thrust vectored engines but not all are equipped. Also the SU-30 isn't a "new" aircraft, mearly an updated SU-27UB, of which only a handfull were built, designed for export sales and production under liscense by India.

The SU-35 just had it's first flight back in Febuary 2009 and isn't schedualed for production until 2010. They moved it up from the last time I visited their website while having this discussion.
What part of "super maneuverable doesn't mean trust vectoring" did you not understand? :rofl
Any maneuvre f22 can do MiG29 and su 27 can do as well if not better

Dude...puff, puff pass!! Stop bogarting whatever it is your smoking. The day a Mig-29 or SU-27 can keep up with a Raptor peace will break out in the middle east, cats and dogs will be living together, and Amanda Tapping will knock on my door asking me to do her in the pooper  :pray  .


I don't see it happening.

India is currently operating 128 Su-30MKI's. 152 more are on order from Hindustan Aeronautics. All with thrust vectoring. China is currently operating 138 Su-30MKK/MK2, Indonesia is operating 5 (MK/MK2) with one more on order,  Venezuela is operating 24 (MKV) with 12 more being considered, Malaysia has 12 (MKM) with 6 more on order, Vietnam operates 12 (MK2V) with 12 more on order.

That wouldn't be much of a problem... They don't have their control fins attached.  :devil
