Built to be the deadliest hunter killer aircraft of all time, the F-35 has quite literally become the hunted. In every scenario that the F-35 has been wargamed against Su-30 Flankers, the Russian aircraft have emerged winners. America’s newest stealth aircraft – costing $191 million per unit – is riddled with such critical design flaws that it’s likely to get blown away in a shootout with the super-maneuverable Sukhois.

Stubby wings (that reduce lift and maneuverability), a bulbous fuselage (that makes it less aerodynamic) low speed and a super hot engine (which a half decent radar can identify) are just a few of the major flaws that will expose its vulnerability during air combat.

Russia also has SU 57 advanced aircraft. US still getting the bugs out of the F-35.

New J-31: faster than F-35 and stealthier than J-20

The world has entered the era of fourth-generation fighter jets (fifth gen for Russian and Chinese standards), but only four countries – China, the United States, Russia and Japan can produce such jets. Among them, China, the United States and Russia have developed their own fourth-generation fighters, and Japanese has got production lines of F-35 fighters from the United States.

According to experts, the performance of China’s J-31 fighter jet in the future can be comparable to that of the typical fourth-generation carrier-based fighter F-35C from the United States, and J-31 fighter’s speed of super-fast 1.8 Mach is even more advantageous.

Crap built by committee is just that, but BigDefense is thrilled with their profits.

I've read that the F-35 is supposed to take combat to the "next level", which means it's not even supposed to reach the point where dog fighting occurs. It's supposed to win dog fights before they even start. I've even read that experienced pilots with F-18 & F-22 aren't even that good with the F-35 because they try to use it like it's a prior generation aircraft. The best at piloting an F-35 are those without any other fighter experience as they don't need to unlearn older tactics that don't apply to the F-35.

Or so they say.
