SU-27 and SU-30 are capable aircraft, but they’re nothing but Raptor bait.......
Why now buy 500 if they are so good and inexpensive?
this has everything to do with pissing off Russia.
Ya gots to know Russia is mad as hell at Ukraine for selling these to us and the Ukranians are loving it.
And yes they are as good as gator bait alongside the Raptor.
Thanks for your service also.
Happy to be of service, thanks.
Kudos to Zell.

The first 2 planes of the ACORN air force.
"A people in fear of their nation is tyranny; a nation in fear of its people is liberty."
Sure.
If any of the 193 Raptors (th-th-th-thaaat’s all, folks) are nearby.
Otherwise, it’s F-15s and F-16s.
“Quantity has a quality all it’s own.”
Sukhoi designs are dead sexy and extremely capable.
Lay off the kool aid.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes, especially when the nut may be restricted by ROE’s on both tactics and systems.
And what airframe provided that HUD view? Certainly NOT an SU-27 or SU-30, as I detect a serious lack of Cyrillic characters....
It was an F/A-18 Super Hornet.
The HUD image has been extenisvely discussed on the internet.
Some discussion here on it:

And a revealing commentary by a poster named ‘Rapier55’ (scroll down midpage) which describes the image in detail:

And here from a poster that cites ‘Rapier55’:

You neophyte zoomie fans remind me of the F-117 and B-2 jocks who said they couldn't be detected by radar but had no explanation as to why my Prowler squadron was ATO'd to provide them with SEAD.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Blah, blah, blah.....
Show some either training or combat documentation of an SU-27 or SU-30 with an F-22 in it’s HUD.........
Still waiting.
