F-22 vs Russian Su-75 Fighter Pilot Reacts

About this video

Max compares the Russian Su-75 Checkmate fighter to the F-22 Raptor in a hypothetical matchup. He analyzes the Su-75’s design, which he says resembles the X-32 and borrows heavily from the Su-57, noting its single-engine configuration, lack of thrust vectoring, and production delays due to sanctions from the Russia-Ukraine war. Max argues the F-22 would dominate in both beyond-visual-range and dogfighting scenarios due to superior stealth, situational awareness, thrust vectoring, and new stealth missiles, though he cautions that the Su-75’s maneuverability means pilots shouldn’t get complacent.

Key takeaways

• Max argues the Su-75’s small intake may limit airflow despite being good for stealth, and the jet borrows heavily from the Su-57’s avionics without major advancements
• According to Max, the F-22 would have clear advantages in beyond-visual-range combat due to superior stealth and in dogfights due to thrust vectoring and new AIM-9X Block 2 stealth missiles
• Max notes the Su-75’s production is likely delayed until 2030 or potentially cancelled due to sanctions from the Russia-Ukraine war and partner nations like the UAE backing out
