Interesting video on the SU-25 vs F-35.



The only issue that I would have with the video is the ascertation of the SU-35's sensor range of 35 miles.

They tend to ignore the Irbis Radar system that the Su-35 carries that has a range of 350 kms.

However the OLS-35 infrared search system is decidedly short range and the assumption is that the F-35 various stealth and countermeasures systems would defeat or degrade the Irbis Radar, and for the most part fighters fly with their radars turned off to avoid detection.
