Which airplanes do you think is better?The F-16,or the SU-30?F-15,or Mig-21?

Question

Explain why and give aditional info whish would be a link that shows stadistics or something to support your answer.

Answer 1

It's all depend on the pilots and the situation.

Answer 2

The f-15 tops this list because of its combat record with 200+ victories in air to air combat with 0 losses.No other plane in history has ever achieved that stat. A  part of that is also due to tactics used by its pilots. the su-30 is  more manuverable than the f-15 but the f-15 was designed specifically for air to air combat with the exception of the later E model which can also attack ground targets. the f-16 was designed as a multi-role fighter for air to air and air to ground attacks which it does both quite well and is dubbed the workhorse for the US airforce.The mig-21 is much older and lacks the capabilities of the other three listed

Answer 3

the f-15. no losses in combat.

Answer 4

There are different versions of all those aircraft that you mentioned.

However when it comes to Combat Proven Effectiveness , Zero Shot Down During Dog Fighting Combat, Climb Ratio, Max Range, Max, Combat Range,  Max Payload (weapons), Max Speed, Best Effective Radar System, and the ability to fight in all kinds of weather, day or night, and conduct Fighter, Escort, and Bombing Missions.

Then Hands down the winner is the F-15 Eagle. The F-16 is more manuverable , but that is the only thing it excels at compared to the F-15 .  The F-15 was the worlds best Fighter/Bomber until the F-22 came around. And the whole point of the F-22 was to replace the F-15. Actually before they had a working prototype of the F-22 many things were tested on F-15 Strike Eagles, including the Thrust Vectoring Nozzles.

There are some great Russian Built Fighters and the EuroFighter is , well can be ok too (I am not going to get into that now). However, they do not have the advanced systems that America has. From advanced Avionics to Weapons, Radars Systems, Radar Signature,  Engines. You name it, they can't beat us.

All in all the F-15 E Strike Eagle is the best out of the group you mentioned hands down.......................................

It also comes down to the Pilots as well. These aircraft are only as good as the Pilots that fly them. And "No" country in the World trains they're Combat or Any Kind of Military Pilot more efficiently , effectively and as often as the United States does.

Answer 5

I don't know the Su-30, so I can't speak to that one. But of the other three the F-15 is by far superior. The MiG-21 is a Vietnam era aircraft, it's old and was not the best when it was new either. The F-16 was built as a cheaper supplement to the F-15 fleet, so it's just not as capable.

As for the Su-30, it's probably on par, or even slightly better than the F-15, the Russians have put out some really impressive aircraft recently.

Answer 6

Well a few years back we had a flyoff with India, four F-15s against 37 aircraft of various types. There were Mig-21s, and some Su-27s and 30 series, and the F-15s killed no less than 16 aircraft in each engagement, losing all but 1. Thats over 9 fighters to one, and we manged to win one of the times.

They didnt even have awacs support, which would have made them far more effective, and on top of that the American aircraft werent allowed to use bvr missiles while the Indians were. That means that in a worse case scenario the F-15 is still a heavyweight champ.
