In Russia, noticed the danger posed by the American F-35.

Military journalist Alexei Leonkov said that the fifth-generation American fighter F-35 is a “stealing predator”, and under certain conditions it can be dangerous. Nonetheless, as the expert emphasizes, he is quite able to resist a fifth-generation Russian fighter, which, by analogy with an American plane, can be called an “attacking predator.”

According to Alexei Leonkov, in the event of a real meeting in an air battle, the Russian Su-57 combat aircraft will detect an American fighter earlier, and, accordingly, will be able to use weapons earlier.

“Su-57 is a maneuvering aircraft to achieve air superiority and to solve specific tasks using the technology of low radar visibility. Therefore, if these two planes meet, then, most likely, the Su-57 will detect the F-35 earlier and use the weapon earlier. ”, - said the expert.

In the United States, this position is actively disputed, believing that due to the lack of stealth technology, the fifth-generation Russian fighter will be able to be detected earlier, as a result of which it will be attacked even earlier.
