Road Runner, you are quite correct, we do not like vs. threads for a variety of reasons. Most often stemming from arguments being based upon emotion and/or nationalistic fervour and not fact. Additionally real performance data for upcoming, current and even recently retired systems is most often not available to the public, making such debates questionable to an even greater degree.Mate a word of warning,read the DT rules,the Mods/members do not like a X vs Y comparisons.IT would be wise to read about the F-18 threads and Su-30 threads and make a decison on the info at hand.
Im sure the Mods will lock this thread on you........
And welcome to the Forum Mate
