Hi RUN,

You like the SU's yes, they do look nice so they must fly nice to. It has very powerful engines which I suppose do compensate for it's size quite alot. You are being honest when you say the F-16 will struggle a bit with one of these but remember RUN how many evo's there have been of the SU. Imagine an F-16 with 3D thrust vectoring, a much more powerful engine than it's predecessors and radical new designs to the aircraft itself, it would be the SU's struggling then. Unfortunately these kinds of ideas will be for the future guys so we must wait in anticipation. Speaking about Russian Aircraft guys what do you also think about the Mig-MAPO. It is an aircraft being developed to counter the F22 Raptor. It is a shame that the manufacturers cannot complete the project for the time being and they are looking for serious investors before they go too far behind schedual.

[Eventhough the Flanker is a big aircraft It's still a very capable one taking its thrust to weight ration into consideration. Are we talking medium-high altitudes the Flanker is definetely a better dogfighter than the f16 & I even think the f16 would have a hard time at low altitudes.
