The newest Russian and Chinese aircraft do not give rest to American experts.

Against the backdrop of how US military analysts unequivocally named their F-22 and F-35 fighters the best on the planet, experts also decided to compare the capabilities of the Chinese fighter Chengdu J-20 and the Russian Su-57, trying to identify the most powerful rival.

According to The National Interest, Russia and China are actively engaged in the development of military aircraft capable of challenging the United States. In fact, the first steps in this direction have already been made - the 5-generation Chengdu J-20 aircraft has already appeared in the arsenal of the PRC, and Su-57 is being prepared in Russia in the very near future. Given the potential danger, the analysts decided to find out which of these aircraft is the best, and whether it is possible for American fighters F-22 and F-35 to resist them.

The key feature of the Russian Su-57 fighter, American analysts called the highest maneuverability, which, however, was very expected, which may become even higher when new engines are installed on these aircrafts. The Chinese aircraft has more secrecy, although it can not perform flights with the same maneuverability as a Russian fighter.

Given the weapons system, the Chinese aircraft is more likely to be used to conduct defensive battles, while the Su-57's weapons allow it to quickly attack the enemy, inflicting maximum damage on it, in order to complete the air battle as quickly as possible.

"We are betting on the Russian Su-57, although it can not compete openly with the US fighters F-22 and F-35. Taking into account this fact, it is logical to assume that the Chinese aircraft will not be able to match its fighting qualities with the 5 fighter aircraft of the US Air Force ", - experts said.

On the other hand, it is important to understand that American aircraft also have a lot of vulnerabilities, in particular, some versions of the F-35 fighter have a very limited combat radius, which allows them to be destroyed much earlier than they will reach the strike distance.
