Delete, misread the comment.
I don't think there's much that can be learned from peace time encounters like that. Stealth fighters are flying with reflectors, and the rules of engagement are different.
That’s not what we hear when the situation is reversed though. Remember the sheer amount of floating when Raptor got the advantage of the Su-35 in Syria? All we heard was how junk Russian jets/pilots were no match for superior NATO assets and training.
Did the Sukhois looked up Fat Amy's skirt again?
Yes. There was only one encounter between PLAAF and F-22 in 2024. All other encounters were with F-35.
I mean I'm not surprised, compared to a Sukhoi the Fat Amy can't really dogfight that well.
Every encounter has video/photographic recordings as evidence. Most are taken by the back seat pilot with a camera.
MK2s are a bit of a sideplayer in internal exercises since the twist cassegrain radar is really outdated. Doesn’t stop them from being absolute chads in intercept missions though.
I suppose they’re keeping these receipts in reserve for when they can maximize propaganda value.
