ROFL!!! TVC ain’t going to enable Brand X (take your pick) to outmanuever today’s WVR missiles. Your TVC-equipped fighter (assuming you have one) will be just as dead. And you’re also assuming that the F-35 couldn’t get close enough undetected to launch an AIM-9X or ASRAAM which the F-22 has been showing as not a problem at all.

Any TVC on fighter is not for avoiding missile or conceal from Electronic Arrry Rdar but for active attack.

No body post specification of Su-15 and F-4?

Looking into the sustained turn at 5 km and starting with 900 km/h,
what is Mach 0,78 at that height. :rolleyes:
It does take 36 second or 10°/sec, but doing so the Flogger is running out of steam very fast and is down to 490 km/h and has to go into minimum sweep to stay airborne at that height and speed. 😮

Would you mind tell me how to convert the G limit to turn rate? :confused:

IRAF_PILOT please ignore the racist rant ….so back to foxbat vs phantom II
what measures can the mig-25 take to defeat the sparrows, if the F-4 identifies and fires its sparrows first ?

Same question is what measures can the F-4 take to defeat the Amos, if MiG-31 identifies and fires its Amos first?

I said “mediocre”

On all aspects they are similar, but
F-15E has advantage on speed
Su-34 has advantage on weapon load

No, it does allow the max weapons-load with max internal fuel. 😉

Don’t know what do you mean…..

Su-35 also look like Su-27 but it does not mean its performance is similar. Su-34 cannot have same MTOW like Su-24 with 43 tons. It is just full information is not released. and in replacement you want to increase capabilities not decrease it. so 200 to 300 Su-34 may do the job of 2000 to 3000 1970s era bombers from Su-25 to Tu-22.

According to here, the Fullback has 44.36tons of MTOW
Accordin to some rare photos below, its max weapon load will be over 10tons at least
