I am confused (so what is new)The Euro-fighter is faster and turns tighter, the new Russian Yak  is faster, turns tighter and can reverse in four wing spans, China has stolen the F-35 plans and made theirs more maneuverable. Just why is such a beautiful fighter  such a dog, and how can it beat the  opposition let alone the Euro-fighter? Well claims the manufacturer  it isn't a dog-fighter it will smoke the enemy from miles away before  they even see our F-35's. I thought we learned with the F-4 Phantom. Air superiority means a lot to Russian pilots, why not us? Yes I lost a close friend in an F-4 in Vietnam in May 1967.
