your new thread does make sense!
ok so do we have a resolution?
The Su-37 doesn't exist anymore (actually it never did that Su-37 Bort-711 that crashed was a modified Su-35, the next 4.5+ Gen Su is going to be the Su-35BM, anyays the F-22 can detect a 3^2 target at 240km/149mi the Su-35BM can detect the same at 400km/250mi so I'm going with the Su.

Who has the most reliable missile?
There are a million possible scenarios. Raptor probably has the advantage of seeing the other guy first and that will probably end most close up fights fast.
If energy/surprise advantages are lost.... it's probably up to the best pilot, the 3 planes being close enough in performance.

The F-22 would shoot either one of the opposing aircraft from the skies. Lets examine the reason, it is a Stealth Fighter in every means of the word. Both the Russian and European planes would NOT be able to shoot back as they're missles wouldn't lock on to the F-22. Henceforth you can throw any MiG or Su-what have you(27, 37,....) up against the F-22 but in the end all you will have is a one sided turkey-shoot and F-22's still flying on to bomb the airfields that the opposition flew from.
History has prooven Russian pilots are acually more better, of the Soviet/U.S./British pilots in WW2 the #1 Aces goes: 1. VVS, 2. British, 3. U.S.
If you cant see it and it can not only see you but hit you, what chance do you have? Not to mention that US pilots have far more experience than their Russian counter-parts, HISTORY has proven time and time again he who sweats in Peace seldom Bleeds in War.
I wouldn't at ALL!!!!

The S-37, AKA the SU-47 is the Forward Sweep flying wing, the SU-37 is a modded SU-35.

Even if the SU-35 radar can detect things at enormous ranges, give me a AN/APG-77 ANY DAY. Hell, give me a Super Hornet radar any day too! Why? No 'proper' LPI. One power source on PESA means you're still pumping out god knows how many kill-o-watts on a single frequency.... while AESA may be operating on a few hundred frequencies at only a few watts each. And when you couple that with a stealthy platform you have one killer plane...

And of those three groups, look how their pilots flew tours in the war. Soviet pilots pretty much HAD to stay in the fight, as did British pilots for a several years until things settled down. US pilots went over, flew their combat tours, came home and then went back or stayed doing bond tours. Yes most of them had multiple tours, but they didn't have the SUSTAINED combat that British and Soviet pilots had.
