How does the Su-57 compare to the F-22?
However, the Russian Felon edges out the Raptor in range, as the Sukhoi aircraft has a reported 3,107 miles to the 2,000 miles of the Lockheed Martin – while the Su-57 can exceed the 50,000-foot ceiling of the F-22, reaching an astonishing 65,617 feet. All of that certainly gives the Su-57 a slight edge.
How many SU 57s are there?
three aircraft
This means that at present, Russia’s Su-57 fleet consists of only three aircraft, excluding the prototypes.
Is the PAK-FA better than the F-22 Raptor?
In a dogfight the PAK-FA may have slight advantages caused by the 3D TVC engines, however the F-22 Raptor has a better thrust to weight ratio, this combined with a greater TVC range, may give the F-22 better performance in pitch axis.
How far can the PAK-FA detect the F-22?
Raptor detects PAK FA with 0.01m², using the APG-77 at ~40 nautical miles. PAK FA detects Raptor with 0.0001m² at ~15 nautical miles. If the PAK-FA would use its IR-sensor (50 km maximum range), it would detect the IR-shielded F-22 at a maximum distance of 20 nautical miles. The F-22 is not equipped with an IRST. If passive radar emitters are used:
How does the F-22 Raptor communicate with other aircraft?
In addition to that, an aircraft can be detected through its communication systems, the F-22 uses a stealthy low power datalink for stealthy communication. In fact this is the reason why the F-22 is currently only able to communicate with other Raptors, as this stealth data link is only used by the F-22 Raptor itself.
