Can you imagine the air combat between F-22 and MiG 1.42? Who do you think will be winner?

Nope, it's the 21st century out there, pilots don't matter
much anymore. It's the one with the better missiles and
countermeasures. :wink:
 
It depends if the film is american or not. If F-22 is driven by Tom Cruise, surely he will be the winner, and he will defeat the comunism.
 
Yea, Mig 1.42 does seem cool, but the f22 is evenly matched and I doubt any will be built by russia.

I think the best plane is aurora if it exists...
 
I think it would go down pretty much like the old classic battles between the F. 86 and the Mig 15. As was the case with those aircraft, the Mig has a slight advantage in maneuverability, but the American fighter has a better weapon system.
 
THe F-22 is pretty much just a boondoggle
