F-22

F-22 is undoubted seen as the king of all aircrafts at least in BVR combat….because of its stealth paint to its radar deflecting design …..and has far superior electronic war fare capabilities and is one of the aircrafts which can super cruise [which is to fly higher than the speed of sound without after burner] ......but it also lacks helmet mounted sight and high hard points ….

F-22 is too expensive even for USAF ….. F 22 s stealth paint can wear off because radar absorbent paints absorb radar waves and convert them into heat …..therefore more frequent maintenance is required ….. has a very high cost to fly ……at that cost airforce could buy 2 su 35 instead…..

Another key element of F22 was super maneuverability ……though F22 is only western aircraft that can use thrust vectoring but ony in 2d way …….most Russian jets can perform thrust vectoring in 3D way …

The F22 can use it thrust vectroring in 90 deg..........But the Su-30 mki or the mkm can do it on a tiltted angle.......

But different russian jets can do it on various angles........

this video will explain it better.......

now the russian jets .....
