Actually people started to wonder what the big deal on the F-35.
Yes it have some stealth capabilities, radar, networking and advance cockpit design.
But its performance in the air flight is just equal to F-16 or F-18 .....! Don't think you want to do dog fight with it with Su-30s.

F25 is the best
-
anyway, a single aircraft is not a big deal, there must have a large number of aircraft,and lethal weapons, form the air attack capability,
Use AEW to identify the enemy target, then fighter and attacker go on, attack the power supply or munition base, all about speed.Extinguish them all before they can fight back

we buy aircrafts for specific roles..
actually..all-weather bomb truck first..

The strength of the F-35 is its mid-tier LO/Stealth technology, sensor fusion and networking capability.

alot of the people here think they know bout the latest aircrafts and their technologies..
but i can tell you, that whatever u guys know or read bout the aircrafts are all the basics.. there are many other systems that you guys do not know of. yes even for our local jets.. they're not as simple as what they seem to be.
-
yes all the jets involve a lot of high tech, but the problems is if ur technology is lagging behind the jet is just like a bunch of iron, i remember in the Gulf war, the iraq's tech is three year lagging behind US, then, they don't have single capabilities to fight back, just wait for attack.

Its not an interim fighter at all in a sense. The F-15SG is built brand new off the factory lines, and equipped with very advanced avionics and weapons systems. What we recieved from the deal puts us ahead of the qualitative lead in terms of regional airpower.It is an interim fighter in the sense that it will not make up the bulk of our fighter inventory. The F16s form the current bulk, the F15s will supplement until the NGF arrive and form the future core.

Ah. I thought someone would inform me if they had changed the definition of "interim." -
F15SGs or F35s? When the time comes, we will know.
-
SU-30 is not really tat agile & its a big aircraft, in fact i would rather face it in dogfight then BVR
-
Even if u have the best aircraft if it is destroy on the ground it is still a junk
-
F-15SGs are to replace the A-4s.
F-35s which (should be procured in 2014 or later) will be taking over the F-16s role. F-16 will then take over the F-5s role.
-
wait wait wait.
aren't the F15's a step lower than the F16's?
someone once told me tat lousier ones = one step lower..
seems that he's wrong.
-
Nope. The F-15 perform better than the F-16s in the air to air arena but has limited air to ground abilities. The F-16 is like a multitool. It does every damn thing.
The F-15SGs, have very good air to ground abilities, and handles well if configured for air to air as well. With its newer radar and avionics, its probably better than our F-16s. Of course, the F-16 can still do everything ELSE better than the F-15SG.
-
go read what AESA radar potential is...is a leap of technology.......
-
those landed a while ago, our new F15? PLA
-
Picture please. =D
-
PLAB? Most likely USAF lah.

Yep SU27 & SU33 rules the skies !! - that is if they have the spare parts to keep it in the air : ) -
A few SU-27, Su-30s don't rule the skies.
Its an entire airforce the enemy will be against. Complete with intelligence, combined-arms, C4i network, multi-layer, multi-platform and more reliable and proven weapons, added to that pilot skill and actual flying hour experiences and training with the very best.
Anyway the F-15 is not a better dogfight, but it is a better BVR fighter than the F-16 because of its better radar. In dog-fighting, it just about matches the F-16 in performance.
The main advantage of the F-15SG is not in air-to-air, although it is extremely capable. Its advantage lies in the ability to carry a high payload (higher than F-16 or F/A-18), able to deliver it long range, and still fight as a good air-to-air fighter.
That's like our multi-role F-16D/52+, but with even higher payload, longer range and better weapons.

Yeah, let them have their fantasy. Yes yes, Su-27s rule the skies.
I wonder where the Syrian ones went when the Israeli Air Force F-16s and F-15s attacked that Yongbyon clone back in April 2008?
Or the time when USAF F-117s supposedly dropped a Tactical Nuke on another Syrian nuke facility in early September 2007?
Su-27s rule the skies... yeah of course they do.
