And that agile su27M has a higher chance of getting blown of by a heat seeking missile than it would have if it had a deep s duct, it would reduce maneuverability but overall still increase survivability, as your chances of engaging in bvr and wvr combat are vastly higher than dog fight.

F-22 carries less BVR missiles than Su-57 and much less than Su-27M, and even infrared Air to air missiles they carry only 2 while Su-27M 4, so I ask you how many Su-30 are flying and how many F-22 are flying?

The problem is stealth makes heavier aircraft with less weapons thus you need F-15X, in few words in real life weapons carriage inpacts that fighters like SU-35 or F-15 are still in production regardless F-22 theoretically can down more fighters since in real life AAMs also fail

Again, the downside is not big enough for s duct to be deemed not superior.
Especially when f15 does exist as a missile truck.

No technology is superior



Technology is based upon what it is needed, radar intake blockers work as S serpentine intake ducts do, both systems have advantages and disadvantages, and in war the winner exploits his weapons advantages and minimizing its weaknesses.


The Russians wanted speed and that meant a radar blocker with less curved intake duct, variable geometry intake, RAM coatings and planform alignment for the caret intake, these allowed more weapons bays, if Su-57 is used properly it will succeed but if the enemy uses its disadvantages it might gotten beaten.

Indian Air Force made wise decision 15 yrs ago, they rather wait another 20 yrs for AMCA than accepting this enhanced version of Su35；

Except excellent maneuverability, the stealth ability and avi-electronics were no where near the current 5th Gen fighters like F22, F35, J20, J35.

After 2022 Ukrine war, the western sanctioned all the electronic components, made the Su57 even crippler than the first batch.

Good show in Zhuhai anyway
