Plagiarised engineering of peace.

[Parker]

Hahaha, J-20? Really, J-20?

[Mr. MB]

The F-35 has a 10 mile+ detection advantage over the Ruskies and Chicoms. NO CONTEST.

[Griffith]

Looks a lot like the F-22.

Like the other Russian fighters there is more emphasis on maneuvarability and close combat dogfighting.

   

[A Righteous Sort]

Yeah...

Since the F-15 nobody has been able to touch us in the air

If there is an advantage for the US or European fighters I don't think it would be very big.

US and UK soldiers have a lot more battle experience given the last 11 years.

[Donny]

None will compete with this...

That's perhaps true when bombing ground targets but not with fighting other planes. I was also referring to the plane itself and not the pilots.

In regards to warfare on the ground, Russia has a lot of experience with Chechnya as well as when when they invaded a part of a Georgia. But yes, western experience is still probably higher with a more professional army and better trained soldiers instead of conscripts like Russia.

Off topic but my mate lived in Russia for a year as part of his Uni course. He said there was one day/night of the year when the soldiers who had been in Chechnya etc were all on leave and went out on the piss and could do whatever the fuck they want. They'd break shit, beat the shit out of people etc with impunity. I'd stay indoors.
