      I agree. They just look so amazing. Not my favorite in terms of capability as clearly the F-15 with its superior radar and weapons can beat. Not to mention modern fighters like F-22 and 35 could win from extreme distances. But in terms of look, I am obsessed with the Su-27 family. Gorgeous aircraft.

    Nobody ever said that the Russian's make bad airframes. Their problem is always the electronics. They aren't great to begin with, and everything goes through so many committees that by the time it gets to production, the modern electronics have been replaced with existing systems badly modified to fit the new frame, to save money. I got to see these when they toured the country in 88. They are beautiful to see.

      Really? Kid, you probably think that your not-so-new F-22 is completely invisible? I'll disappoint you. The Russians have studied its capabilities very well, namely on the Su-35 in Syria. Where the US used them to interfere with the Russian Su-34s that were bombing terrorists. Terrorists whom, let me remind you, the US asked the world community to call "moderate" for overthrowing Assad. But in fact, they were ISIS terrorists. The Russian Su-35s drove away the F-22s and took aim at them. I think American pilots have never experienced such sensations. Even the Su-35's radar is more powerful than the F-22's. It can see and shoot it down from a distance of 100 km. You won't have AWACS, kid, everything will be like an adult, it will simply be shot down. And what's the point of all this kindergarten. You can't create a strike group unnoticed. When trying to do this, if the Russians ask a question and do not receive an answer, this is a direct threat to national security. Do you not understand something in the words that "Russian missiles will fly to airfields, cities, warehouses, bridges, NATO energy infrastructure - faster than this plane returns"? The flight time of missiles to London from Russia (without crossing borders) is 9 minutes. Oh yeah, you don't know how to fight without aviation at all. Invisible planes 🤣

      The biggest hurdle is the weight and drag that is inherent to biplanes. In the 1920's aeronautical engineers worked out that above 250 km/h (~210 mph) it's just more efficient to use a monoplane as the drag at higher speeds tend to cancel out the extra lift the second wing gives. In theory if you were to use newer developments like lightweight alloys/carbon fiber, laminar flow, and thin chord wings you could feasibly get it to work, but there's just no market for a high-speed biplane and it'd most likely go down as a one-off novelty.

      @@shikikanaz4624 The J-10 project was originally meant to save the Lavi, which Nick covered into another video. My grandfather was in the delegation sent by China to negotiate with the Israelis on how to carry out the project. It quickly fell apart after 6 rounds of negotiations because the Israelis refused to budge on the subject of money. The only thing that came out of the negotiations was that the delegation from China got the blueprints for the Lavi from the Israelis. My grandfather and his colleagues then went back to China and developed the J-10 from the blueprints of the Lavi, creating the versatile fighter we know today.

    The Su-27 just looks like the combination of western fighters. Lex of an F-16, lift body of an F-14, canted rudders of an F-18, blue print of an F-15. You can even argue design concepts from the most expensive jet ever built, the XB-70 and its raised fuselage had some influence. Before naysayers bring up the Mig-25, little tidbit most dont know -- it was based on the American A-5 Vigilante (and NA-237 concept) both of which originally had dual vertical tails.

Вы просто в 90-х купили, или украли....его дизайн и компоновку. А зря. Еще в СССР признали - она бесперспективна. Если ваш Ф-35 встретится с СУ-35 или СУ-57 - его просто собьют, как сбивает телегу на дороге танк.

    • @pyronuke4768
      @pyronuke4768 7 дней назад

      The 0 part of the 104-0 is a little suspect, in that there have been claims that F-15's were shot down by enemy fighters but it was reported as an equipment malfunction or pilot error resulting in crash for propaganda purposes. Of all these claimes I've found only six or seven actually have any validity to them, and five of those are still pretty suspect. The remaining two are plausible, though there's not enough evidence to prove or disprove them either.
      Also, some would say a 15% accident record speaks for itself.
      (I'm not trying to downplay the F-15 as a potent air superiority fighter, I'm just trying to point out that a lot of what you hear of its success is propaganda and should be taken with a grain of salt.)

It's amazing how the Su-27 not only dominated the skies in its time - and even now at times! - but also laid the groundwork for future generations of fighter jets on both sides of the former Iron Curtain. The fact that it's still in front-line service today speaks volumes about its excellent design and capabilities. Definitely the best Soviet fighter jet ever made IMHO!
