and the JSF doesn't have a laser defense, lol, thats the funniest thing i've ever heard, lol, the amount of elctricity needed to power that is more than like 15-20 plasma generator's, and american scientists said that plamsa generator's consume too much power, so please, good one though lol

JSF will probably have 100kW laser able to shoot down incoming misilles. The power input is not a problem, because marine version uses a lift fan for vertical take off. In other versions liftfan could be replaced by generator and laser with one or two small retrctable turrets. It is know that JSF engine IS ABLE TO PRODUCE SO MUCH POWER, the only chalenge is to create smaller 100kW solid state laser. Current versions have only 25 kw.

I wonder how it would perform against the F-16 or F-15, I hear that the Fighting Falcon is extremely maneuverable and deadly with amraams or aim 9s.
it would wack both in dogfight, as for maneuverability of berkut - try moving paper through air backwards... get it?
but otherwise it depends on the training of pilot and avionics in the aircraft.

Russia's Stregthn is projecting weekness so Russia can destroy thier enemies better, I beleive there are already 1000 5Generation MiG 1.44 built but Rus will keep it secret till it's time for WW3, remenber when Rus looked week in the past He destroyed His enemies, Russia just sits and lets blabber mouths like the west tell what thire building so Russia can build a better plane/tank bodyarmer Rus/U.S already have had exoskeleton suits scince the 89's.

lol, the key word that u said was probably, which everyone knows, will most likely mean no, it would be impractical to use a laser generator, i don't think u know wat u're talking about, because if u have seen the lasers that the army uses, they're mounted on the ground, they say that its too heavy for any vehicle too carry, and it requires just too much power, thats why u don't see lasers on Abrams tanks, regrettably, that would be awesome though, and thats why they won't include it in an F-35, beause, first of all, way too much power, 100Kw,u kidding me
the sheels that the laser system was shotting at were going at Mach 1.1, so imagine a missile coming at Mach 3-4.5, it would take even more power too destroy it in time before the missile hits the aircraft

lol, yes I doubt that they have that many, 1000 SU47'z, BUT ! it would not be impossible for a counyry to hide 1000 planes, they could have a underground plant that produces them and stores them in underground hangers .... !

Some people here said that the day of the dogfight is over. That has been said at least twice before and proven wrong. What about the enourrmous cost of the expendable munitions used here or stealth and the element of surprised. Just because the US has stealth it doesnt mean that other countries havent. Maybe they are just better at keeping it a secret.
