Full disclosure: I'm a Yank and an Air Force type (fixer, not a flyer), so I'm going to be just a wee bit parochial ...

The Sukhoi is a sweet aircraft. I think the Russians have done more with F-14/F-15 era technology than anyone expected. But the F-22 represents such a change that anything else in the battle space is just an also-ran.

One F-22 pilot, speaking about engaging several F-15s in a mock dog fight, called it "clubbing baby seals".
