from USAF I like F-16.
From RUAF I like Su-27 family (and SU-34 - like a duck).

AMRAAM - max 70Km range.
But you think any Su pilot will wait ?
http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/r77.htm - R-77 have range max 90Km.
But think at 160Km range of M variant R-77M
Or in MiG-31 case http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/r33.htm - R-33 with its 120Km. (again think at M variant the R-37 http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/r37.htm 300KM )

http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/sparrow.htm - AIM-7 has max 70Km (best variant). Again R-27 has greater range - 80 to 120Km (differ variants)

For short range again ! R-73 is better (sorry - THE BEST IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! REMEMBER!) vs AIM-9 even AIM-9X (prototype one).

http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/sidinder.htm - only 9X version reach 40Km (better than R-73's range but R-73 is in service for 15 years bu 9X are only prototype!)

It's an old adage that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this is no different. Whatever appeals to one, might repulse the other.

Kill from 80K? Not 100%, even NATO cheerleader Mike Spick asserts that. Sorry there is no silver bullet.

The Raptor is the most advanced fighter in production. Other the other hand it's, from what I've seen on USAF propaganda production on the Discovery channel, observing the clumsy way it manuvered, one of the most overhyped aircraft ever built.
