Fighter Pilot Reacts to Russian SU-75 Checkmate NEW IMAGES!

About this video

Max analyzes newly released images of Russia’s Su-75 Checkmate fighter jet at a Russian airfield, examining whether it’s a flyable prototype or merely a mock-up. He identifies what he considers critical design flaws, including a prominent canopy bow that he argues would compromise stealth and a chin intake configuration that he believes limits weapons capacity. Max presents two hypothetical combat scenarios comparing the Su-75 against F-35s and F-22s, concluding that the Russian aircraft would be outmatched in both beyond-visual-range and dogfighting situations.

Key takeaways

• Max argues the Su-75’s large canopy bow and clear canopy without radar-absorbing coatings would severely compromise its stealth capabilities from multiple angles
• Max contends the chin intake design forces side weapons bays that can only carry one missile each, significantly limiting payload compared to the F-35’s belly weapons bay configuration
• Max presents hypothetical scenarios in which he estimates F-35s would have an 80% chance of downing Su-75s in dogfights, and F-22s would dominate due to superior sensors, supercruise, and thrust vectoring
