i don't think the su-27 can supercruise when the f22 can. Also the f22 has alot of design features that stops it being detected by IR type scanners.
Also got to remember that the su-37 will be the main Russian aircraft to have plasma stealth installed on it in the near feature.
The su-37 can give off a faster short blast but the F22 has a better consistent speed. Also neither the SU-37 nor the mig 1.42 are in service and neither is the F22 for that matter (it is in production).

So, if it so super why it crashed more than three times before it got in U.S servise. I don't remember su-37 crashing even once.

F-22 doesn't have any air-ground equipment , but su-37 equipped with anything from guided bombs to tomahawk type rockets. I don't see any other damage f-22 can do besides interseption some old russian fighters.Novebody knows if su-37 will enter service with Russain air force but su-35 will certainly do . It has all su-37's equipment besides TVC.

The f22 can do damage to ground targets. When it was first show nto American congress it could only do air to air combat but they said they wanted the aircraft to do strategic strike. So the design team redesigned parts of the pane so it could do strategic strike.

In 1994, the USAF asked Lockheed Martin to develop an air to surface capability for the F-22. Provisions were later made to the lower weapons bays to accommodate one 1,000 pound GBU-30/32 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) per side. A simple GPS (Global Positioning System)/inertial system will guide the weapon to its target. Eventually later versions will have increased precision attack capability by including a programmable radar seeker. The F-22's air-to-surface operations will be carried out courtesy of its onboard synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode.

In addition to the F-22's internal weapons bays, it will also be capable of carrying stores externally. Four underwing stations will be able to support up to 5,000 pounds. Underwing stores will be fitted to the F-22 when stealth is not critical. External drop tanks up to 600 US gallons can also be fitted onto the stations. This will increase the F-22's endurance and range significantly.

Also the f35 well enter in he next 5 years and it promises quite alot. there is alos the f15s which is quite dealy. the f22 is basically a flash as interceptor.

wut's with all the US vs Russia crap? Cold War's over guys give it up. Russia really doesn't wanna fight anyone unless they get attacked and it's the same way here in the US. Neither of which really wanna attack anyone to start a war. China's a key player here and they have the same mentality. the only SOB's out there that wanna start crap are terrorists and possibly North Korea.

but remember the chinese may have an opportunity to buy the terminator or 'super flanker' if you will, and if they do then we'll have an interesting fight on our hands because not taking anything away from the flanker the f-22 has a great long range weapon system and stealth characteristics but the su-37 has a 360 degree radar which is extremely powerful, also the aa-11x missile has anti-stealth capabilities so if the terminator could close in to the range of the new aa-11 then it would be very dangerous indeed

The Su-37, is not in production, so how can anyone buy it? What is the difference anyway the Chinese have some of the worst pilots in the world, not to mention the worst training.

Who said that US planes do not have 360 radar capabiltiy. Just because you cannot look it up on the internet doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Remember that one of Russia's biggest tacticts is 'leaking' supposed information, ie the Air Show in Moscow in ther early 1950's where they flew the same Bison's around over Moscow and had the US thinking that there were approx. hundreds of them when in all actuality they barely had 30 of them. Even then they couldn't even reach the US over the pole because of their crappy engines.

Funny how that worked, we have a huge bomber defense, the Soviets figure out there is no way for them to fly to the US and back, so they develop the ICBM and we only realize that is a threat after the launch of sputnik. Then we're all scared to death scrambling around trying to get our own and develop a defense at the same time. Gee the Cold War sure sounds like it musta been a helluva lot a fun.

That is how Reagan brought down the Soviet Union. He let them know about just enough of the things he was building and developing so they would have to match it and it bankrupted them. He knew they wouldn't have enough money to keep up with us. So in all reality it was never an arms race just a finacial game to bankrupt the USSR. Hell in the early days of modern espionage England hired bankers to screw enemies.
