M-346 is the most powerful and best equipped. It is also a modern light CAP aircraft. The better at the moment, maybe T-50 is the closest one

At the same time it could be interesting to see captured aircraft pictures!!!
In an old issue I saw a B/W picture taken at ex-Ramenskoye showing a Phantom and a Mirage III tested by Soviets during cold war!

Do you have something similar???

Ok, I knew it was quite usual during the cold war for russian Foxbat to take off from East Germany airfields and overfly western areas hiding themself under civil planes tracks.
From East Germany they used to fly over Western Germany, than all Italy landing finally in Lybia.
Quite impossible to intercept, just one time a Foxbat was intercepted and “illuminated” by an Italian Starfighter, that just for few seconds was able to let ring the Foxbat radar!

SF-260 is not an Aermacchi, but a SIAI-Marchetti… 😉

Gripen in my opinion would be the best choice, or Eurofighter.
Important is to take an European product!!!

I’ve never see Su-35, but I saw several time Su-27s. Great of course.
The best demos were:
-Russian operational Su-27 in Bratislava 1994
-Russian MiG-29 (blue and yellow) solo display at Fairford 1993 (in the morning, the afternoon it crashed with another MiG)
-USAF F-16C during Aviano Air Show in1996, with Lockheed test pilot Bland Smith
-USN F-18F in Payerne 2004. One of the greatest at all!

Rafale and Gripen also, but these were the four I had so great emotions!!!

I saw both of them… they are very close.
Maybe Rafale looks like smaller, so a bit more energic…

Russian usually uses two number for the code of operative/standard aircraft. The three number (#147, #148 etc.) are often used for test aircraft, or aircraft involved in weapon testing.
