    It is the most advanced fighter in the world, by far. The Saab jets aren’t really close and would lose pretty much every simulated encounter with them by a few hundred miles.

    But that doesn’t make them good for the world. Still, their technical ability should be ignored only at your own peril. It’s a stupid thing to not acknowledge the effectiveness of an enemy weapon. But it is now an enemy weapon for much of the world that were former allies.

      I AM acknowledging the fact that they’re advanced, however, just like thay French artillery system in Ukraine, you will often see “cool shit” wünderwaffen shit the bed in actual combat
