Have to disagree on one part of this, the fact that one Eurofighter and one Rafale managed to notch a kill on an F22 are the exceptions that show the vast rule that the F22 and F35 score EXTREMELY high kill ratios on any fourth gen in war games, like 160:1 high, that's an extreme force multiplier. Those two kills were also with the F22 with one hand tied behind its back, as in within visual range. In real life it would pick them off before they knew it was there.
I seriously think the endian Air Force is glad that the are not so many teJunk for them. That plane is a true junk-of-a-plane.. It is more dangerous to its own pilot rather than its enemy.
It is not just reputational risk - the US will not allow the F35 to be flown close to S400 missile installations. How robust is the F35 if it can only operate jnder these restrictions? Also remember the F117 stealth fighter? It was tsken out of service as soon as one was shot dosn over Serbia. Will the same happen to the F35 once the enemy figures out how to target it?
What was regarded as full stealth in 90s is perhaps only regarded as somewhat stealthy in 2025. Advanced in radar and signal processing have withered down the advantage.
No country other than US has a functional 5th gen fighter. Rest are making empty claims. Also so called 5th gen fighters which were marketed as highly stealthy have seen their stealth eroded by advances in radar and signal processing. What they are left with is a number of design compromises made in their design to enable stealth which has left them vulnerable in many other aspects. Also maintenance has proven terribly expensive. Not worth the trade off vis-a-vis F-15E and F-21.
Good videoo keep like that!

Tejas is delayed due to GE engines, not HAL. HAL has completed 15 Tejas MK 1A since August, but GE csnnot supply its engines only starting mid 2025.
True
Very true
How you know it has completed 15 ??

India is going to produce mk2
By 2100
Mig29 shot down f16
Premium cope
What's the point of developing a fourth-generation fighter? This is the era of the fifth generation and the sixth generation

Russia and China has operational 5th gen fighters....whether one agrees or not is a different thing@@mtrest4
