Jimmy knows what he's talking about.
I spent my years in the USAF as a "target."
I flew recce birds and the A-10 which was purely defensive against anything in the air but a helicopter. All of my ACM training was in defensive maneuvers. Coming to a standstill and killing off your energy level is not smart against any weapon--gun, heater or radar.
IMHO.
And just as a side note, what would you expect a Sukhoi test pilot to say?
He's trying to help sell jets. He's going to paint everything about his company product as an advantage.
