By aircraft specification SU-35 beats F-35 & F-22 all the way in performnace figures: max speed, max service ceiling, max range, manuveribility (drastically) with the only exception that F-22 ceiling can fly 19km altitude while SU-35 is 18.2km, that is the only figure in a dozen of figures that USA have a upper hand.
For F-22 to be able to fly 1 extra km higher than SU-35 is not a significant combat advantage, because the air to air missiles are going to cover way more than just that 1 km, so if F-22 flu higher than SU-35 by that 1 km does not mean that it can excape better, the missile can shoot upwards to kill you anyway.
In the more important spec of max speed US F-35 is really lagged SU-35 by too much, this is a very leathal disadvantage realitically, to chase / escape: F-35 max speed mach 1.6 SU-35 max speed mach 2.25 !!! That is my car vs Ferrari !!! No fucking match.
The next critical spec is max range, SU-35 can fly 3600km F-35 only 2200km. That's like my max running distance vs Marathon runners !!! Half way I drop dead while they still running. No match either!!
Now that last thing, we check up the price tags:
F-35 = $135 million
F-22 = $150 million
SU-35 = $40 million from Russia
When SU-35 got made in China......... I expect to cut the price tag down by 25%-50% could be as cheap as @$20 million
What does that mean? For the same defense budget, you can buy & deploy more than 3 SU-35 for each F-22, actually close to 4. In the war, I can afford to lost 3 to 1 ratio, and I would still have balance after finishing off all of yours. But in the reversed, if I killed you 1 to 3, 75% of my fleet are still remainding after finishing off all of yours.
For the PRC's huge GDP and deep pocket they can afford easily many thousands more SU-35 fleet. The strategic advantage is very very strong over the USAF. That's why Bapok Obama and his friends are shitless and frightful.
Pantagon ordered about 2200 F-35 & less than 200 F-22, China can easily afford 10,000 SU-35 self made from this Putin sold production line, and the total cost still about half what Pantagon had spent. Not forgetting that USA is bankrupt and Chinese are very loaded.
