Usually when someone brags like this they are making up for some inadequacy.

looks like lots of edges, seams, and cavities - lots of things that generate radar returns. As others have pointed out, those engines don’t seem to have any bypass airflow, they are going to be IR searchlights. Well, it may be low observable from some aspects....

We will sacrifice speed & agility to get the first-look/first-shot. Who is right?Because we've never allowed our pilots to shoot BVR (beyond visual range), even though we have had the tech to do so, I think the Russians are right.

“Because we’ve never allowed our pilots to shoot BVR (beyond visual range), even though we have had the tech to do so, I think the Russians are right.”
My reading of the Gulf War suggests that we used our F-15C’s as BVR shooters to protect AWACs and aerial tanker assets. So it’s not that it never happened, just that the circumstances permitting the tactic are fairly limited.
