| Well now the Tomcat made it's case, I don't believe I saw the " JSF " on anyones list. Is it because it's primary mission is ground support?

Country:  | Maybe because the JSF is not in service yet, so it can not be the best fighter yet.

Country: | The J-10 to me is a stolen design. It is too much like the Eurofighter in every aspect. We can not compare it though until they start mass producing it. It might be a decent aircraft but I dont think it will compare to the F-22 which is clearly going to be the best thing in the skies for some time to come.

Country: | Yes it does look good but I don't think it would be a match for the F-22 and the Eurofighter because of their superior avionics...

| Too new to rate Too new to rate Either this or the F16 should be rated the best jet fighter since the end of the Arab-Israeli wars Quote: |
4- F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet
| A goof but definatley not a great jet. Too many compromises to make it a multi-role carrier jet. Probably the best Russian Jet Youre joking right? Youre joking right? See my comment about the F15 I would say its past its prime in the 80's/90's Youre joking right?

Country: | That may be so. But I was actually thinking more a long the lines of the other comments. In any case, I was only joking around.
I personally think the updated F-15Cs are the best. Since their avionics are superior to any other aircraft except the Typhoon and F-22. And the F-15 airframe is proven.

Infact, the J-10 is not you think,or our, or anyone.
But, this design is great breakthrough for my country. It`s honor.
We don`t follow russian`s outmoded design.  My English is not good enough. | |
