He did give the advertising content of Su-35 but no one complains when you do that about Rafale, do wel?
CAS is changing, now CAS is no longer about flying slow and low, those times are gone and if an air force still feels thats how CAS is to be done then they are outdated. CAS has always been about supporting the ground troops and putting bombs and missiles to prevent enemy from achieving breakthrough or to break the enemy positions and destroy them so that the friendly forces do not counter opposition, This when done at company level is considered as CAS. Why does a plane need to fly slow and low when it can drop a bomb from few thousand feet accurate with CEP of just 1 metre or less. is that not CAS? In future, a plane will be expected to conduct many roles, like Do CAS, destroy a few tanks and then take position to ensure air superiority so that the enemy air assets do not intervene. Some of the planes could also be armed with ARM or two, which ensures that any enemy Radar that wakes up, is put to sleep
Russian EW is quite good and we know what its capable of, it is not exaggerated like SPECTRA which is being marketed by Rafale fan boys as something it is not. IF SPECTRA is so wonderful and that when Rafale is not emiting its Stealth, why does Rafale need an expensive AESA radar? I mean would they not look stupid to have a radar that would be emiting and giving up its position? Why take that chance? As the french would say, ".. we dont really need it .... "
BTW Photonic radar, the Russians are talking of making it operational in 2018, where is the West with it? Still with AESA? Thats called Quantum jump.
Which plane except F-22 can take on Su-35? Rafale?? haha, Rafale cannot take it either in BVR or WVR,. The moment people talk of Su-35/Su-30 MKI vs rafale, Rafale fanboys talk of different weight class and not capabilities, And by the way one Indo French exercise in India last year, Rafale had met the similar fate as Eurofighters.in UK and that too when Su-30 MKI flew with serious disadvantages (without to use R-77)

The speed will do nothing in the CAS and ground attack
CAS or MRCA won't need to enter dog fighting zone, hope you understand why everyone in the world developing long range BVR's
Radar, Rafale's Radar is more than enough to perform CAS even in dense battlefield
Better EW, you sure the Russian EW is good, West developed far better EW than Russians
Low RCS ..he he
Who will face the Su 35 in close combat, the one who picks up the Su 35 and launch its BVR from safe distance[/QUOTE]
