just out of interest please compare air to air weapons loadouts between
F-35 and Su-35, since you seem to know so much.
for the edification of the rest of us, post a summary here. curious
minds want to know.

you are contradicting yourself, the F-35 has a superior detection system
so it's inferior???
So you want the RAAF to get a plane with an inferior system??

well, even if this statement is correct, which I suggest it is not,
surely logic dictates that the system that gets off the first shot is at
a clear advantage, especially when the sytem getting shot at will only
'know' about it when it is hit.
given that the F-35 is still under development, how do yo know how it
will eventually perform?
