Would F-22 beat F-35 in dogfight?
The F-22’s stealth and speed give it a slight edge, but the F-35’s sensors could very easily level the playing field. In a within-visual-range (WVR) dogfight, the F-22 would almost certainly overpower the F-35. Its agility, vectoring, and speed make it a lethal opponent in close combat. Su-57 excels in speed, manoeuvrability, and cost-effectiveness, better-suited for air superiority and defensive roles. The F-35 is superior in stealth, sensor integration, and combat-proven reliability, making it ideal for offensive operations and networked warfare.The American F-35 and the Russian Su-57 are fifth-generation combat jets that incorporate low observable (stealth) technology, with the ability to carry missiles and bombs internally, making them less visible to radar detection.Red Baron-style dogfight, the Su-57 Felon should win. But 5th Gen air battles won’t involve close encounters. The F-22 and F-35 pilots are very well trained and at BVR ranges the F-22 and F-35 can detect and obtain missile lock before the Si-57 can on them.
