Which is the best Combat Fighter Jet in the World right now? and Why?

[////]

F-35 is junk. thing can't take off without something breaking and it takes days to get it back up and running, lost to past prime F-16 head to head. USA pulled some cheap used car salesman **** and swindled a lot of foreigners into buying one full price. suckers haha.

the su-27/su-35 would beat them all in a dogfight including the f-16 but nobody has dogfights anymore so the latest planes aren't designed for them

they're designed so kills take place before you're even in visual range ie superior electronics/stealth

i think people are just sad that war is so lame now and manned aircraft in general are going obsolete while remote electronic warfare with uavs/missiles takes over

that's true but consider that radar systems are also quickly advancing, closing the large gap between new generation stealth planes and older planes and AA. F-35 is a flying bus once it's compromised. F-16 is also a multirole plane, way cheaper to build and every bit as capable.

pure fantasy, son. F-15s got humiliated by older Su-30s in mock battles.
