Perhaps, but they are better than the Sukhoi’s numbers.

Really?

“lot of +s lacking in EF, Rafale”

Last time i´ve checked (with public sources of information) the only thing that the SH has that is lacking in “ATA” to a “Phoon” is the ability to track a lot more targets through the AN/APG-79.

I would say, without being snarky, really… The F-15E was the first of it’s kind (IMHO), being able to fight it’s way in, deliver ordinance and fight it’s way out, if necessary. The Super Hornet can also do that as well as a number of other aircraft now. The Su-34 doesn’t have the numbers to be really effective yet. A handful of those could do well in Chechnya, but not against China or NATO.

I hope the touch-screens come with Gorilla Glass. The middle console, between the leg wells looks to be the backup section for rudimentary controls.
