Really? Kid, you probably think that your not-so-new F-22 is completely invisible? I'll disappoint you. The Russians have studied its capabilities very well, namely on the Su-35 in Syria. Where the US used them to interfere with the Russian Su-34s that were bombing terrorists. Terrorists whom, let me remind you, the US asked the world community to call "moderate" for overthrowing Assad. But in fact, they were ISIS terrorists. The Russian Su-35s drove away the F-22s and took aim at them. I think American pilots have never experienced such sensations. Even the Su-35's radar is more powerful than the F-22's. It can see and shoot it down from a distance of 100 km. You won't have AWACS, kid, everything will be like an adult, it will simply be shot down. And what's the point of all this kindergarten. You can't create a strike group unnoticed. When trying to do this, if the Russians ask a question and do not receive an answer, this is a direct threat to national security. Do you not understand something in the words that "Russian missiles will fly to airfields, cities, warehouses, bridges, NATO energy infrastructure - faster than this plane returns"? The flight time of missiles to London from Russia (without crossing borders) is 9 minutes. Oh yeah, you don't know how to fight without aviation at all. Invisible planes 🤣

The biggest hurdle is the weight and drag that is inherent to biplanes. In the 1920's aeronautical engineers worked out that above 250 km/h (~210 mph) it's just more efficient to use a monoplane as the drag at higher speeds tend to cancel out the extra lift the second wing gives. In theory if you were to use newer developments like lightweight alloys/carbon fiber, laminar flow, and thin chord wings you could feasibly get it to work, but there's just no market for a high-speed biplane and it'd most likely go down as a one-off novelty.

[@MrSukaBlyat]

Ah yes, the mighty Flanker. Was waiting for this one :D

[@kolbola]

The story of the failure of the original T-10 design originated from two typical soviet/russian factors. One was the big rush and the second was the dependency of a lets say "one man show". Because Pavel Sukhoi had a trademark leader attitude, he used to personally supervise every involved department in their programs. But when he passed away in 1975, there was no one left who really could focused the developers, while there was a real race for the state awards between the involved institutes. So when the initial, preliminary wing&airframe design was ready from the Moscow-based TsAGI, the Moscow-based OKB Sukhoi HQ just rush to build it. Meanwhile, the SibNIA from Novosibirsk made several deep-analysis about the airframe behavior, in wind tunnel and computers and they realized, the ongoing design will have strong vibration above 12 degrees AoA, due to the heavy vortex of airflow departure above the wing. But Moscow "forgot" to listen them. And because the goal was a way higher AoA, this behaviour was a big shame. So that's why they brought Mikhail Simonov to coordinate the redesign, but in this time, fully together with the SibNIA results. And this new design became the T-10S.

The problem with Russian fighter jets is they’re built for a type of aerial warfare that isn’t fought anymore.
