It may not be as maneuverable, but it is more stealth and in today's world it's best to get in and destroy the target. Besides there are munitions in the U.S. arsenal that will knock out a target 60 plus miles out...so, why worry about out-maneuvering your enemy.

Well, matter-of-factly speaking the su27 (of which the abovementined su37 is a derivative) does have a longer stick than the f22 - the R77 and R77M have longer range that the AMRAAM,however, the f22 will still have the edge in long range engagements due to its stealth design. Under no circumstances should a f22 attempt to dogfight a su37 though, as the latter is more maneuverable, has better close range sensors (including passive IR), a genuine look down - shoot down capability and better close range missiles.

I'm sorry man, but have you ever heard about the Novator KS-172 air-to-air missile? Its a missile carried by the Su-37 that can engage targets from 250 miles away! 60 miles is nothing. Dont believe me? fine, check it out yourself, the name is: Novator KS-172 AAM-L
