Not a strong rebuttal. SU-27 not bad either. A fighter is a weapon systems platform, and ours are the best, bar none. A platform that must maneuver too. And the Russian fighters are not bad in that respect. Consider EVERY instance where western tech has gone up against Soviet tech Oh yeah, the highly trained Libyan and Iraqi pilots using dated Russian fighters.

A fighter is a weapon systems platform, and ours are the best, bar none Apparently, not bar none: "The MiG-29 has a few advantages over its more electronically advanced American counterparts. At about 40 miles apart, the American planes have the advantage because of avionics. At 10 miles the advantage is turning to the MiG. At five miles out, because of the MiG weapons sight and better maneuverability, the advantage is to the MiG. The weapons sight is a helmet-mounted system that allows the missile to follow the line of sight of the pilot's helmet. Where the pilot looks is where it goes."
