Earlier this year a presentation was given by an industry air combat threat assessment expert to defense officials of a NATO country which showed that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) would not survive air combat against threats it is likely to see in its alleged service lifetime.
Part of the presentation showed a computer simulation which calculated
that the F-35 would be consistently defeated by the Russian-made SU-35
fighter aircraft. The defeat calculated by the scenario also showed the
loss of the F-35's supporting airborne-early warning and air-to-air
refueling aircraft.
The technology in the SU-35 will also see its way into growth upgrades of other SU-fighter variants used by many countries .
Flight tests of new Russian fighter aircraft Su-35 have shown that, according to technical characteristics, the plane exceed similar foreign machines, including Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon and F-35 Lightning II, says the press release of Russian Sukhoi Holding.
Su-35 is classified fighters generation 4 + +, but unless stealth characteristics, fully complies fifth-generation aircraft.
