The American F-22 Raptor and the Russian SU-35 Flanker-E are both high-performance multi-role combat aircraft but, how do they compare?In this video, we let
Even the Chinese had chosen Su-30 variants instead of MiG-31 despite the US threat. Su-30 variants manoeuvre very well. IAF was not ready to buy the MiG-31, just as AWACS killers. Nor was India interested in MiG-31’s capability to launch ASAT missiles, as it was already building its own surface-based ASAT capability.
An upgrade of its predecessor, the Su-27, the Su-35 stands out due to its enhanced radar system and increased dimensions made possible by larger wings. Kh-31/59/29 and more.
And even if it were not so, the Su-35 is not even close to comparable to the Mig-31. The Su-35 is pretty damn maneuverable, the Mig-31, is not. So if the F-22 was expected to get a 10.1:1 kill ratio against the Su-35, the ratio should be higher against the Mig-31 unless it goes to full speed, then the F-22 might have trouble keeping it in range
MiG-31BM. In contrast, the Su-35 has been deployed together with the Su-34 Fullback along the frontlines to fire guided aerial bombs on Ukraine, for which the latter has little defense. While both the Su-35 and the MiG-31 pose a massive challenge to the age-old Ukrainian Air Force, the fighter pilots in Ukraine are still more way of Su-35s.

As well as the MiG-31BM that is its primary launch platform, the 13-foot-long R-37M has long been associated with the Su-35, but it seems it was first launched from a Flanker variant this year.
The continuation of a line of dedicated interceptors is interesting because the existing PAK-FA/Su-57 fighter in many ways could fulfill the same role as the MiG-31. It has a highly advanced radar, it can supercruise (maintain Mach 1+ flight without the use of afterburners), and it could be armed with long range air-to-air missiles.
