Also i wouldnt be suprised if the russians had stealth but i think if they did they either have a working prototypes or a very smalll fleet and they could not contend withthe new generation of upcomming US stealth technology.

*sigh* the russians invented stealth, but there is not so much need for stealth with now days radars anyways, only if your against nk or iraq then it helps

There are soo cheap because there are soo many of them that have been produced. Yea they may be more powerful but the US counterparts are far more accurate and advanced, Far less jams and malfunctions.

they have already fitted a Su-35 with a plasma wall in front of it while flying, they said it was a success

They might be able to build an F-117 type plane ( as the technology has been around for 20 years ).
do you even know where you got this technology?
thats right! Soviet scientist Ufimtsev!!
F-117s and B-2s are very costly, and require special maintance and special airstrips, russian stealth is way different.

Possibaly, the Russians keep secrets just like we do. It might not be on the same level as our, but why not? They do have the Saratove air base that is very similar to Groom Lake/ Area 51

newsflash kiddies, russia, china, and the rest of the 1st world has the tech to build a stealth fighter, but unlike the U.S they dont' see a need for it as there is no urgency, i mean, would you buy a million guns if your not going to war? and also to add, why spend billions researching and F-22 only to get a flying billion dollar ferrari when u can design a missile system for less than half the price with a 6 figure missile to even the score? lets say a battery of s-400 vs 200 f-22's, your looking at atleast 80 downed f-22's before you even launch your own fighters, i think thats a sweet alternative. wouldn't you agree?

No, they do not have the money in the first place to build the tech, which is why Russia cancelled its only stealth air craft project not too long ago (though now they are in revival). Your statement is contradictory, a million guns? How bout several hundred nukes, hundreds of SAM systems, and yes Russia, China, and US probably have more than a million guns in their military stockade (most of those weapons were amassed over the thought of going to war). I suppose if that many F-22's were flying within that close a proximity to each other, they might be very easily detected, but since they don't do that, the missile will not even be able to lock on to the jF-22 even if it made visual. No, I think it would be sweeter if I could bomb the crap out of your SAM and other air defense systems without you ever knowing what came.
