it is a well-known fact that the u.s. outspends every other nation on earth on
its defense America's current defense budget of around 664 billion dollars
will be bolstered by an extra 50 2.8 billion dollars under the new
administration a good part of this will be spent on the purchase and development
of Warplanes one such aircraft the Lockheed Martin
f-35 lightning ii has become synonymous with ambitious big spending but prior to
the f-35 stealing the headlines there was another stealth fighter the
Lockheed Martin f-22 Raptor that was largely seen as the technological marvel
of the skies and also a very expensive piece of machinery when we pitted the
f-35 against Russia's universally extols aircraft the su-35
the conclusion we came to is that the planes are so different and designing
capabilities that they are difficult to compare the f-22 was a different beast
altogether though and a machine that is largely seen as the ideal fo for the
su-35 today we'll see just how these two highly advanced aircraft match up in

squad we'll start by taking a look at the f-22 this fifth-generation advanced
tactical aircraft according to the United States Air Force is unmatched as
an air superiority fighter designed by Lockheed Martin it took its first flight
in 1997 and formally entered the service of the US Air Force in 2005 195 f-22s
were built overall with a unit procurement cost of a staggering 350
million dollars this supreme flying machine was not only far more expensive
to build than anything of its kind but according to Air Force cost and
performance figures it was also a veritable super consumer of dollars when
in flight the US Air Force has stated that the
f-22 costs around 60,000 dollars an hour to fly compared to twenty two thousand
five hundred for the f-16 C Fighting Falcon and $30,000 for the f-35 while
the Air Force has always been enthusiastic about what it believes is
the best combat fighter plane ever made it said that restart costs might be the
reason interest has turned to other developments now we turn to russia's
sukhoi su-35 this single-seat super maneuverable multi-role fighter flew its
first flight in 1998 as a prototype but didn't appear in its present form until
2007 when it was revealed to the public at the russian max 2007 airshow while
the US military believes it has the greatest combat aircraft the Russian
military of defense has also made such a claim with it
sooo 35:58 have been built overall and many more have been ordered with each
unit costing somewhere between 50 to 75 million dollars it's thought the cost to
fly the plane for one hour is around $35,000
unlike the f-22 which cannot be exported due to laws in place to protect its
high-tech features and stealth capabilities the su-35 is up for sale a
handful of countries have expressed interest in buying the aircraft but so
far only China has shown the money ordering 24 planes for a cost of around
2 billion dollars the question you might be asking yourself is why is the f-22 so
expensive to build and fly we might better understand this by looking under
the hood so to speak here are some comparisons
with the su-35 it's estimated that the f-22 has a top speed in excess of 1,500
miles per hour with a range meaning how far it can fly between takeoff and
landing around 1,800 40 miles the su-35 has a top speed of around 1491 miles per
hour and has a range of 1940 miles the surface ceiling how high the aircraft
can fly and be fully operational is 20,000 meters for the f-22 and 18,000
meters for the su-35 as for armaments the f-22 carries 120 millimeter gun with
480 rounds up to 6 medium-range air-to-air missiles and two short-range
air-to-air missiles the su-35 has 130 millimeter gsh 30 internal cannon with
150 rounds up to 6 medium-range air-to-air missiles and for short-range
air-to-air missiles some pundits believe that if a dogfight should happen between
the two aircraft the Russian plane may have the advantage having better within
visual range capabilities and carrying a few more weapons however both planes are
agile and fast and carry devastating short-range weapons the super
maneuverable su-35 has impressed with its aerial acrobatics but then the f-22
is extremely nimble - due to its excellent thrust to weight ratio which
in the words of Lockheed Martin makes the f-22 ready to dominate any and all
adversaries from the outset of any conflict the outcome of these two planes
having a dogfight is a divisive issue but it's also an unlikely scenario it's
at a distance where the f-22 is seen as the better playing due to its beyond
visual range capabilities the su-35 packs more missiles but the f-22 has the
stealth advantage this is a huge advantage of course because it could
potentially end the fight before the su-35 knows it's in one
with such powerful weapons on board whoever draws first blood in this fight
undoubtedly wins the battle it's thought that while the su-35s infrared search
and track array dark could detect the f-22 at fairly close range its sensors
will have to get lucky the f-22 was built to hide as well as
fight and the plane has been compared to finding a needle in a haystack or
literally a marble in the sky according to analysts one of the reasons for the
latter planes hefty price tag is its superior technology as much as its power
agility and potential to harm this is not to underestimate the su-35s radar
control system but it is probably no match for the technology of the f-22
modern aircraft fighting is about much more than speed and weaponry with
situational awareness and stealth being huge game-changing factors in the words
of the f-22 is principal builder even if you detect me you're not going to know
where I am a second from now what most people seem to agree on is that the Air
Force pilots in the modern era shouldn't have to get up close before they destroy
a target and so the most advanced radar technology and stealth capabilities are
the best attributes a plane can have this is the foremost reason why the US
doesn't export its f-22s and keeps its technology classified material Russia of
course is acutely aware of this and is in the process of developing its
fifth-generation Sukhoi t-50 pak fa stealth fighter the plane's technology
is classified information too but we know Russia again is focusing on
outstanding supermaneuverability the t-50 however will be the first Russian
Air Force plane to use stealth technology with the kinematic
performance which is set to be comparable to the f-22 a former US Air
Force intelligence officer has been quoted as saying that Russia's new
machine will have a sophisticated design that is at least equal to and some have
said even superior to us fifth-generation aircraft this
supposition has also been doubted by other analysts just as it has costed the
Americans a hefty sum to develop mind-blowing avionics technology and
futuristic pilot aircraft interfaces the Russians are said to be having their own
problems with extreme costs and the constant setbacks that come with
developing high-tech machines progress is set to be slow Russian Deputy Defense
Minister Yuri Borissov has said the country is in no hurry to enter the
stealth fighter into service it's expected the first plane will be
introduced in 2019 and Russia will continue developing it until 2025 so how
do you think these two fighter jets match up and more importantly what do
you think the Russians will pull out of the bag with their newest plane let us
