F35 vs SU35 - which would win?
American F35 and SU35 are two of the world’s latest fighter jets. We thought it will be interesting to compare the capabilities of these modern aircraft and try to determine which would win in a real aerial battle against each other.

The F35 comes with three types of models know as F35A, F35B and F35C, all with different functions. Pentagon plans to acquire over 3,100 F35, which if delivered will make the F35 one of the most numerous fighter jets ever built.

On the other hand, SU35 is the upgraded version of SU27, though an exceptional jet with much improvement. It is so modernized that it attracts the attention of many countries and only China could make its purchase.

1. Specifications
Let’s have a look at some specifications first.
As of today, around 500 F35s have been built so far. F35B and F35C are comparatively more expensive as per unit cost of F35B and F35C are $116M and $109M respectively, while F35A price tag is around $79M. Operated by crew of 1, the Aircraft’s empty weight is 29,300lb and maximum takeoff weight is around 70,000lb. The jet is powered by a single engine producing 43,000 pounds of thrust. With the help of this engine, the aircraft can gain top speed of Mach 1.6 or about 1,228mph. With the maximum range of 1,700mi, the jet can combat within the radius of 770mi. F35’s climb rate is around 45,000 ft/min and it can reach at maximum altitude of 50,000ft. The aircraft is fitted with 4 internal hardpoints and 6 external weapon stations with a total payload capacity of 18,000Ib. F35 is also armed with a 25mm 4-barrel rotary cannon.

In contrast, around 115 SU35 have been built so far with per unit cost of $85M. Operated by a crew of 1, the aircraft comes in at weight of 41,888lb with maximum takeoff weight of 76,059Ib. The Jet is powered by 2 afterburning turbofan engines generating 64,000 pounds of thrust combined. With the help of these engines, the jet can reach at top speed of 1,500mph. With ferry range of 2,800mi, the jet can combat within the radius of 990mi. SU35’s climb rate is around 55,000 ft/min and it can reach at maximum altitude of 59,000ft. The aircraft comes with 12 hardpoints with ordnance carrying capacity of 17,630Ib. The fighter jet is also armed with a 30mm auto cannon.

2. Stealth
The F35 has lead in this category as SU35 is not a stealth aircraft at all, however for perspective, the SU35's radar cross section is between 1 to 3 sqm, or about the size of a large table while the RCS of F35 is about the size of an insect…

3. Maneuverability
SU35 is based on SU27 platform, so its status as a "super maneuverable" fighter is a matter of fact. Although both jets can slip into heavily defended targets on the ground. F35 will be better in those scenarios while the SU35 is better for air to air battles…

4. Radar & Avionics
The F35 is outfitted with latest AN/APG-81 radar capable of tracking 23 targets in 9 seconds and engaging 19 of them in 2.4 seconds. The range of F35 radar is confidential; however some defense analysts believe that this radar can detect a target beyond 300 miles. On the other hand, SU35 employs the powerful Irbis-E radar, capable of detecting an aerial target up to 250mi away. With the help of this radar, SU35 can track 30 airborne targets and engage 8 targets simultaneously.

5. Firepower
Both planes are equipped with state of the art missiles capable of shooting each other. SU35's need to carry ordinance outside the fuselage is a slight disadvantage, but in general the first aircraft to score a clean hit will win…

I love How the cold war continued in the comment sections in youtube

[sammomin]

The only way to know who is better is a paintball fight, so no one gets hurt.

[ramilespenilla]

Both are capable of killing each other, it's just a matter of who see first.

[hulkhogan]

"Russia is no less competent in terms of modern warfare technology"

that didn't age well

[igormar]

I hope they will never meet in a real-world scenario.

[IonutTudorica]

This comparison didn't age well. There is no comparison between those two. They are galaxies away.

[cypher]

The doctrine differences are significant, Su-35 is clearly still based around the concept of close target engagement whereas western concepts are based around medium to long range engagement and network centric warfare. The average AMRAAM missile doesn't give much of a rip about the Su-35 having a bigger gun or thrust vectoring as it comes barrelling in at mach 4 from 80nm away. You can ask the Serbian air force how well supermaneuverability served their pilots during BVR engagements. At closer ranges those two enormously hot engines are an ideal target for the latest generation of sidewinder missiles which have significantly improved in their maneuverability compared to the older AIM-L/M variants. Basically it's touting your skill to fire an uzi when you are fighting an enemy that has carbines and sniper rifles.

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee, a man can’t touch what a man can’t see… stealth superior 💯

[alanmoore]

In a beauty contest its the SU35 every single time...

[DzpcbElectronicWorld]

The F35, 5 Gen. aircraft should be compared to the SU57 5 Gen. not the SU35 4++ Generation.

[CharlesOffdensen]

The lack of stealth is a problem not just against other fighters, but against anti-air ground weapons as well.

[beyahero]

F-35. Hi
SU-35. Hello
S-400. HEY!! WELCOME TO MY WORLD 😆

[minarawa]

The Sukhoi is dancing in the air, amazing

[v.germanb]

What happened to the time tested old saying: "Mine is bigger than yours!"?! 😁

[johndavis]

It seems that one thing is never made clear. In the early days of F-35 videos when they were still testing, I saw the F-35 get followed by a drone from behind and the F-35 was able to shoot it down without facing the target. The directed aperture system enables the aircraft to target in all directions while flying in any other, so the F-35 doesn't need to maneuver.

Something to note is that USAF has trained against allied MiG-29s in mock battles (thanks to the fall of the USSR). Of course there are going to be differences, but the general flight envelope of the MiG-29 & Su-27/35 are very similar. NATO has likely already understood the strengths and weaknesses of Russia's fighter jet design doctrine. This contrasts Russia, who hasn't had any experience with American jets except 80s F-14/16s. Also, the F-35A and F-22 handle have much superior AoA abilities compared to American 4th gen, so another mystery.

*I pray to God that none of what I said will matter and WW3 doesn't break out, and I'm not even a fighter pilot so what do I know*

[PrashantRawat]

SU 35 is an amazing jet for strikes .. but F35 is a flying computer and it will always eliminate threats beyond visual range... F35 is just on another level.

[austinstephensparks]

i find both of these machines facinating and incredable but at the same time i hope they never get used fo actual combat

[OneGuyIKnow]

"Who would win?"

AN/APG-81 Beyond Visual Range capabilities: *"Am I a joke to you?"*

[tremedar]

The F-22 is the opponent any Russian jet will face in a dogfight, that's its role in the air fleet, the F-35 is a sniper, sets up for a shot, takes out its assigned targets and leaves the area.
