Why the F-22 avoids a close confrontation with the Su-35

Experts say the Russian aircraft has a significant advantage over the most powerful fighter, the F-22.

The Su-35 is a military aircraft with one pilot, two engines and is built for multiple roles. It is bigger, faster, has a longer range, is made for air combat so it is very agile and has its weapons on the outside.

The F-22 is more ‘invisible’. This means that it can ‘trap’ a target without being noticed. His weapons are in its body so that it is not affected by how ‘invisible’ it is.

So we understand that the F-22 is better when there is no visual contact between the two aircraft but when they are close, the Russian has an obvious lead.
