Su-30SM figher: better than the best american aircraft. With a stroke of the wing

The super maneuverable 4++ generation Su-30SM fighter is one of the most successful projects of Russian aircraft designers. According to experts, it is capable of winning a fight even with the fifth-generation F22, the best aircraft in American Air Force.
In the new episode of Combat Approved we will show what superiority in air is. With a stroke of its wing, the Su-30SM makes history of aviation by writing more and more versions of aerobatic stunts, that no other aircraft can do yet. We will make a truly large-scale test drive for the Su-30SM: we will fire its cannon, drop bombs and launch rocket attacks. Exclusively for our program, at the air base near Lipetsk, honored pilot, Brigadier General Alexander Kharchevsky will engage a potential enemy. On the other side of the country, near Irkutsk, you’ll witness an unprecedented airshow over the Baikal, where our headliner, Su-30SM takes part.

[@AzherMirzaBaig]

The su-30 is the better aircraft hands down in a dogfight, however avr depends on the circumstances especially on satellite information, AWACS and electronic measures and countermeasures as well. Thus in circumstances like this, its up to the people in/behind satellites, electronic warfare and AWACS that decide the outcome of a battle in BVR. In all modern air force, military air force are literally left very vulnerable if they get jammed in communication or radar or simple or not aware of what exist near or far. So I disagree with the Russian expert on the aircraft, he should specify in what circumstances and at the same time I disagree with the F22 definitely winning statement, once again it depends...on the circumstances.

@@jafon9 its true but to also be fair. no one really knows what BVR combat between peer to peer states would look like. in most examples of BVR combat we have, multiple missiles were fired at the same target. as with for instance the gulf of sidra incident. and with others such as in the skies of iraq. enemy pilots often did not even attempt to defeat the missile unaware they had been fired at. or used wrong tactics for the type of missile fired at them. if Russia and the US started lobbing Aim-120's and R-77's at each other i think it would turn out quite differently from what most people think. both sides pilots highly trained to defeat each others missiles. this will drive the fight closer and closer. until you are duking it out with Aim-9's, R-60's and R-73's. the gulf of Sidra incident is also a perfect example of how quick BVR combat turns in to WVR combat. in that incident the first shot is fired at 15 miles, it misses. and by the time a second missile is off the rail. the distance is 7 miles. bandit 1 gets hit 4 miles out. and bandit 2 is then already in a dogfight with the 2 F-14's. he eventually gets shot down with a Aim-9. i think with aerial combat. a long distance stand off turns into a knife fight in a phone booth real quickly, if the combatants are similarly equipped at that BVR stage.

[@ianmedford4855]

The Russian planes can ABSOLUTELY outmaneuver NATO aircraft... but unfortunately for them, they absolutely cannot outmaneuver NATO radar or missiles. Any Russian formation would be blasted out of the sky before they ever get within visual range, simply because the F-22's and F-35's will have them locked before the Sukhois and MIG's even know they're in a fight.

[@divoulos5758]

@Ian Medford none can outmanouver missiles however A combination of manouvers and chaff/flares can do the trick in many situations But its all on the pilot to perform those manouvers and the capabilities of the aircraft so you have to have experience to do it

[@ensignbodybag]

Just because the jet can carry out some pretty spectacular moves, none of these moves would be of any use in a dogfight, and the aircraft has minimal stealth, meaning an F-22 could blow it out of the sky without even being seen. Russian avionics are decades behind the West.

[@itsupport191]

Aircraft vs aircraft dogfighting is becoming a thing of a past, F22/F35 has been designed with different objectives in mind. Beyond the horizon attacks, first shoot first kill, stealth and now F15EX workhorse joins the fray able carry all that additional armament for the forward scouting aircrafts. US and Russia will never go small or 1v1, each side will want to fight from the position of advantage.

[@Blaster53]

@@itsupport191 That is absolutely wrong. It is true that US military complex is promoting F22 as a distance fighter and therefore no need to come to dogfight. If that would be the case then F22 would not be armed with a gun but it is. If we assume that F22 is totally invisible to enemy's radar then F22 still needs to use its radar to track and target enemy's aircraft. Enemy has scanner which instantly indicates that airplane has been targeted and gives needed alert to the Pilot. If Russian pilot would not be able to see F22 on his screen due to F22 alleged total invisibility then Russian pilot would instantly assumed that it was targeted by stealth airplane and it would use available measures which in this case would of course bee radio microwaves and IR device disruption devices. This in itself would create to self guided missile massive problem and it would be quite sure that missile would miss. At meantime the distance between jets would close and at one point Russian radar would identified F22 and Russians would fire against F22 their own missile which would also failed due to countermeasures taken by the F22, because at certain distance stealth is no longer advantage (250 -180 km) and thanks to fast moving jets pilots would stop to use missiles because it is pointless and as the gap would close the dogfight will occur and at that moment F22 would become history thanks to SU supermanoeuvrability which cannot be matched by any western jet. Besides that remember that stealth is non existent and that radar from above (AWACS) can see any stealth because stealth features are mostly against radar from ground locations.

[@itsupport191]

@@Blaster53 F22 gun was almost removed in the design phase, now it has it but with very few rounds. F22 thrust vectoring i supposed to help the plane maneuver in case there is a dog fight indeed. Still, the modern theater will not be fair and either side when attacking will use number advantage in tandem with electronic warfare systems. I think comparing modern fighters one to one is done just for fun, it's not how these weapons would be employed in real world conflict. Still, I can appreciate a good plane design and SU30 is that, looking forward to hopefully seeing it at the air show.

[@TheLAGopher]

@@Blaster53 The F-22 is armed with a gun because while the USAF would rather fight a long-distance fight, it doesn't want its aircraft to not be able to fight up close and personal if need be. That is exactly what happened during the Vietnam War when its front-line interceptor, the F-4 Phantom, found itself at a disadvantage against the North Vietnamese MIG-17 and MIG-21up close and not having the option of going to guns. The F-4 designers didn't think of it having a gun, because they thought it would never be forced into a close-in fight. A proposed tactic for the F-22 (and F-35) is to form "hunter-Killer" teams with the F-15 (Now being replaced with upgraded EX Eagle 2s) where the fifth-generation planes would range ahead while F-15s would blast away with their massive radars. The fifth-generation planes would use passive systems to detect Russian or Chinese aircraft radars or hits made by the Eagle radars and direct in long-range missiles fired from the Eagles or fire their own missiles to be guided by the Eagles radar. Russian aircraft fans keep wanting to make this a one on one duel when a real war is going to be American fighters defeating Chinese or Russian planes due to superior networking of various platforms allowing various American planes to make up for the weaknesses of other American planes.
