Tough call. Sukhoi usually have unreal maneuverability up close, but the PAK-FA's engines are nowhere near where they need to be, power-wise. Until the engines get sorted out, my money is on the F22. |

I'll put money on whoever has the best missiles and ECM package at the time. |

F-22. Every day of the week. |

Numbers in the engagement will be a secondary (tertiary?) factor. |
