I still have doubts about the claim that Air-to-Air Missiles are really so accurate and that Stealth really makes you completely undetectable: It seems that still a lot of hot air comes out of the F-22's engines.

To me this all sounds like stuff taken out from the producer's advertisement flyers in order to convince politicians to pump huge amounts of money into their products.

A stronger focus on Stealth was considered for the EF-2000. It was dropped not because it cannot be done but because it would make the plane ridiculously expensive - proven by the immense price tag of the F-22.

Maybe there are better performing planes than the Su-30, although you may find none that is more cost-efficient. Another thing about the Sukhoi is that it is the best-looking fighter out there ... simply a beautiful plane
