Question

Answer 1

well, since only one of those actually IS a 5th generation fighter, I'm going to have to say F-22

Answer 2

F-22.

the su-35 just looks like the same predessor.

nothing has changed on it

Answer 3

A Flanker is not a 5th generation aircraft.

Answer 4

I prefer the F22, period!

No extra details really.

Answer 5

f-22 all they way baby

but you cant enlist to fly the f22 you have to go through the school

you have to have a very high rank

Answer 6

F-22, and you do need to be an officer to be trained in one, realistically, after all is said and done, you would be a senior 0-2 (First Lieutenant) before you strap one on.

Answer 7

F22. The reason is avionics. US avionics are always better.

and I thought that the SU47 was the Generation 5 aircraft.

Answer 8

Some of the above are correct...

When categorizing modern fighters, even the Russians don't claim to have a Gen-5 fighter yet and they refer to their Su-35 as 4.5, 4+, or 4++.  You can add all the plus signs you want at some point, but it won't be considered in the same generation until it incorporates organic stealth.  The more plus signs, the more the marketing hype.  I'd still call it generation 4, and the F-15 can still easily stand up to it in any battle for air supremacy.  If anyone wants to nitpick, sure we can go with 4.5 for AESA radars, etc.  Who cares, it's still a somewhat even playing field in generation 4-4.5.

Despite all the Su fan-boys out there (who aren't fighter pilots), Russia has a LONG way to go to meet the finish, materials, quality, dependability, technology, and performance of western fighters.  It's no slight on their engineers...they simply don't have the backing, the resources, the culture, or the history to build upon to make similar achievements.  If the United States is good at anything, it's aerospace.  Even when faltering, the US falters less than the rest of the world.

Obligatory broken-record input:  Makes no difference once you put men in the cockpit who are capable of both costly mistakes and great achievements.  The jets don't win wars for you.

Answer 9

F-22 is way better it also looks cooler honestly russian fighters aren't made very well
