F-16 compared with the Russian Su-35, which could be a fight that we will seee shortly in Ukraine

- F-16 has better radar, maneuverability due to thrust vectoring engine (can turn the exhaust to get additional turning power), better missles, has much better visibility for the pilot, and is smaller/lighter and can take off from shorter runways
- Su-35 is much larger which is a disadvantage in that it gets hit a lot easier ( bigger hitbox to use a gaming term ) has two engines so if one
fails it can still fly, and is less fragile.

Overall the F-16 looks better. The Su-35 definitely lives up to the stereotype of Russian equipment being more durable and heavier.
