Will Russia's Newest Fighter Be Able To Compete Against America's F-22 And F-35?

Zachary Keck, National Interest: Is Russia's Lethal PAK-FA Fighter Superior to America's F-22 and F-35?

Russia’s new fifth-generation fighter jet will be superior to its American counterparts in every way, a senior Russian military official has said.

According to Russian state media outlets, Viktor Bondarev, Russian Air Force Commander-in-Chief, said that the PAK FA will be able to outduel America’s F-22 and F-35 fifth generation fighter jets.

Speaking of the PAK FA to reporters last week, Bondarev said that “It will be in no way worse than similar American planes such as F-22 and F-35. Rather, it will outperform them in almost all parameters.”

He went on to explain that "the features given to it by its designers allow it to outperform all similar planes that already exist or will soon appear abroad."
