R-37Ms can also be carried under the wings/fuselage, though they negate some stealth until they are fired. R-37s do not fit internally, only R-77s and R-73s do. The first two missiles fired were mounted under the fuselage, and were R-37Ms.

While I've bought several aircraft from DCS, I'm quite sure the next one will be the F-16. I still remember when the F-16 came into full public view and use....... there was a Clint Eastwood movie "Firefox" in which a helmet-mounted display was introduced on some supersonic helicopter and of course Clint was at the helm. One of my favorite movies ever in those days. Then, from outta the blue, comes the F-16, replete with the targeting tools seen in "Firefox". A favorite description of the F-16 was with regard to the deliberate "instability" built in....... it was the meat n' potatoes of maneuverability. Coupled with the recline of the seat which reduced forces on the pilot, the F-16 was incredibly nimble if not the most until the F-22.

This is the F-16 against the most generous interpretation of the Felon’s capabilities, which in all honesty is how we should portray it. So that when we do come against it, we are ready for anything. Including an air to air monster. In reality is believe the Felon has a higher RCS and would be more defensive against an F-16 with AWACS, but it is very maneuverable and has lots of countermeasures; which makes it hard to hit in any case.

[@donakahorse]

you put up a good fight. I do disagree with something you said though. yes a mutual kill for an F-16 vs SU 57 is a great trade, but if the pilot of the F-16 is killed, that's a much bigger loss. An F-16 pilot that can take on a Felon is far more valuable than the plane.

If it was made as stealthy as it actually is in reality this would be much closer. Some reports say its radar cross section in the same as a clean F/A-18 at about 1m2 its basically the least stealthy fighter and only from the front.

[@ziggystardink9389]

Reality would obviously be much diffrent. Intersting to see what would happen if the SU-57 was built as hyped and not to reality.

[@EnigmaHood]

Realistically there would be SAMs and AAA firing at an enemy flying low to defend.

[@ziggystardink9389]

@@EnigmaHood And the fact the the SU-57 is not steatlh. Coupled with the engine issues they have all the Viper would have to do is stay out of range till one of the engies dies then lob a AMRAAM at it.

Loved the vid brother and you gave it a real good go man. Cheers for the vid.

[@nfineon]

This is a good preview of how effective f-16's would be in Ukraine, but substitute a pilot with only 1 year of basic training, passable English and no combat experience, against Russias top fighter pilots in their 5th gen aircraft supported by 10x more ground defense systems...

[@dawixd2678]

yeah, i feel sorry for those pilots

[@tammywehner3269]

a question. when a missile pancakes due to enemy's skill, is there anything left to bring back and reconstruct to reverse engineer so we can learn from the event??

[@steenlassen5718]

In reality there are not many Su 57 left, and no A 50 dares to fly..
