Country:  | its just that the Su-27 wasn't the unstable-thing type like the F-16 and the F-15 as they don't have very advanced avionics, they designed the Su-27for stability and tweaked it for more maneuverability and agility

Country:  | What are you talking about? The F-15 has some of the best avionix out there in the world and the F-16 has been upgraded to be the same.

Country:  | i think he was refering to the Su-27, but i'd bet good money on the Su-27 out-manouvering the -15 and -16..........

Country:  | I must say that the Grippen is truly one of the best I have seen. Our government bought some and they are really great aircraft.

Country: | No it will my friend. Does the grippen have the stealth technology, maneuverability and super cruise capabitlity of the F-22? NO. The Grippen is a great aircraft but the F-22 will overtake it.
