Has the US ever managed to shoot down even an old Su-27? Guessing the answer is no. F22 might do it. F35, only in a beyond visual situation. Remember in Vietna

F22 might do it. F35, only in a beyond visual situation. Remember in Vietnam when the doctrine was that missiles were so good all combat would happen BVR? Yeah, it's not gonna happen now either.
- strictnein 8y agoAre you serious right now? An F-22 "might" take out an Su-27? And the F-35 just simply wouldn't? This isn't 1968. That was 50 years ago. Things have changed ever so slightly. Your knowledge of things seems to extend little past lines in Top Gun.
- scottlocklin 8y agoI've written extensively on the topic, under my real name even. Pierre Sprey, one of the fighter mafia guys who came up with our Gen-4 fighters agrees with me. Who are you?
