How does the United States evaluate the Russian T50?

In fact, the United States has not made any official evaluation of the T50.

After all, the T50 is just a prototype, and not to mention Russia’s secrecy, its performance itself has many variables. Americans naturally understand the difference between YF22 and F22 better than anyone else, and they can also predict that the T50 has a long way to go. Even Russia itself cannot figure out the performance of the T50 when it is actually equipped with troops.

Western folk’s views on the T50:

Its mobility is hardly better than that of the F22, not much more so. But its maneuverability is definitely better than that of the F35A. The F35B has the abnormal ability to hover and its maneuverability is difficult to compare. The performance of the F35C should be better than the F35A, but it will definitely not reach the level of the T50.

In terms of supersonic cruise, the T50 and F22 are indistinguishable. Definitely beats the F35 series.

In terms of stealth, the current T50 is definitely not as good as the F22 or even worse than the F35. However, in the future, the photoelectric tower and tail nozzle will definitely be processed, but its overall level is still not as good as the F22. It is estimated to be slightly better than the F35 series.

In terms of information technology, the F22 and F35 are very interesting. It stands to reason that the F35 is a low-end aircraft, but the F35 appeared late, and electronic technology has also developed, resulting in many new gadgets appearing on the F35. For example, the F35's photoelectric tower has very advanced performance that the F22 does not have. It is said that the Americans plan to install a laser at the lift fan position of the F35B to obtain laser weapons at the expense of vertical takeoff and landing. With Russia's electronic level, it is estimated that the F35 will be difficult to catch up with the F22.

Therefore, there is no big problem for the T50 to compete with the F35. The 4th generation machine has three advantages in 4S indicators. It's tough to fight against the F22.
