Comparison of F-35 Lightning II and Su-35 BM

F-35 vs Su-35!So let's see which fighter aircraft is better.

Stealth

The F-35 has an Low Observable shape with limitations on the aft sector because of an unstealthy nozzle design,the shapes it self only has limited stealth cabilities.But Su-35 is not 5th generation aircraft(4++ generation),so it cannot hide from F-35.

Radar
 The F-35 uses an APG-81 AESA radar with 1200 transmit/receive moduls, it is able to track a 1m² target in 150 km. The much larger Flankers Irbis-E is able to track a 1m² at ranges of 260-300 km.So Su-35 have a great advantage over F-35.Su-35 can get a first look.



Speed and Range
Speed is a big disadvatage for F-35.It's top speed is on ly Mach 1.6(1728km/h),while the Su-35 top speed is Mach 2.3(2400km/h).The Su-35 has a maximum range is 4500 km,while F-35 maximum range has only 2222km.



Payload
Su-35 can carry more missles than F-35.F-35 can carry only 10 missles,but Su-35 can carry 12 missiles.



Final Conclusion
The Su-35 overpowers of F-35 in speed,range,payload and radar.The F-35 has only has advantage over Su-35,that F-35 is stealth fighter aircraft.So Su-35 is a better fighter aircraft.
