i don't like forward swept wings it really looks ugly

i think that with OLS the sukhoi-37 is as good as the F-35.

the OLS seriously undermines the stealth capabilities of the F-35

russia should concentrate on the sukhoi-37 instead of the T-50.

When you mean Sukhoi-37 do you mean S-37 or Su-37? S-37 is actually the Su-47 Berkut with the forward wing design. Su-37 is a glorified Flanker.

i meant the sukhoi-37. not s-37 . As i said i don't like the forward swept wing design concept

The Su-47 is still a sukhoi fighter jet. When you name the plane just use the Su-## format to make it easier to distinguish.

True the strength of the raptor is its sensor package. When the USAF was trying to sell congress on the plane, some of its "secret" capabilities were released to the public. Most of these centered around its AESA and the many new capabilities it offers. But, herein lies the problem. If the Russians are developing a much larger, more powerful AESA, and their R-77 missiles outdistance our AMRAAMs, then doesn't that mean that the Russians would have first look, first shot capability? One would have to assume that almost 20 years later, the Russians could design a plane with roughly the same radar signature as the Raptor.

I agree that programs started by the Russians have a very poor track record of actually being completed, but the fact that they've teamed up with India on this one obligates both sides to acutally go through with it.

I could not agree with you more. Excellent points and analysis!
