F-22 News and debate thread

Lets start with a classic. Does the F-22 posses the same post stall maneuverability as a sukkoi?
Quoted from another thread

A poster felt that the F-22 was inferior Kinematically so I thought it might be nice for this discussion to have its own thread.

Topic was high AoA handling of the fighter planes. The video you just posted only confirms that F-22 is inferior at some circumstances and high AoA. In every single instance where you have lateral movement at post stall area Su-35S has more than double the speed of rotation and greater controllability. Also in every single instance where lateral movement or roll is present AoA was much greater in the case of Russian planes. Many of the maneuvers in the video are not comparable because they are not done under same conditions (they are not the same) and I can make you a new video with many more maneuvers that F-22 simply can`t repeat.
There is nothing about F-22 post stall maneuverability Su-35S can dream about, on the contrary there are many things F-22 can`t do.
And yes, we know, F-22 has stealth 😉
