Sukhoy you are right the RAAF is the closet ally but you can say the same for russia and it's joint and internal excercises. Well the PESA does not have a better range the the raptors AESA. Why do you think russian aircraft are upgrading to the AESA. No sense in downgrading. But Alot of good points made here. Well Besides the chart below, the f-22 would kill an SU-35 in BVR. The f-22 is upgrading to AIM-120D and Sidewinder-9X, which will have a missile range up to 120miles. In a dogfight it would depend. In veryhigh altitude the Raptor would have no problem because it is the only aircraft capable of doing 4-5g's that high. In lower altitude I would give it to SU-35 and even then it would depend on speed because raptor is made for higher speed dogfights. It would also depend on pilot training and what positions they are both in. I belive in the future 95%+ will depend on BVR any way. As technology is making huge leaps dogfights will soon be a thing of the past. Other factors will make more of a difference like Radar, Altitude, Missiles, Future Steath, Speed, Supercruise, and Even UCAV. So dogfighting will be a thing of the past. Plus The f-22 hasn't shown it's true capabilities in dogfighting yet. So we all have to wait and see. Here is a chart of the f-22 vs other fighters. Well I put it together and was trying not to be bias. Anyone please update my information. Thanks. Oh and Links are at the bottom of the page.Comparison among F-22A, Su-35, EF-2000, and RAFALE C
