Recent events over the Baltic Sea have shown that the American F-35 5th generation combat aircraft is no better than the Russian-made Su-30SM 4+ generation fighter. This opinion was expressed by the experts of the Sohu portal.

Su-30SM took off to intercept an American aircraft in service with the Italian Air Force. For some time, he accompanied the fighter over the water area, as a result, the F-35 changed course in a direction other than the Russian borders, writes topwar .

According to journalists, the fact that the Russian aircraft is approaching the F-35 fighter confirms doubts about the declared superiority of the latter. In the publication of the Chinese edition, they drew attention to the maneuverability of the Su-30SM and the detailed awareness of the Russian pilots. Experts assume that the data on the location of the American fighter was also transferred to the air defense ground crews. 

Earlier, the First Sevastopol wrote that the United States proposes to fight the Russian fleet with F-35 fighters .

At the same time, during the NATO military exercises "Baltops 2021", Russian air defense systems were able to successfully detectand identify the F-35 fighter of the Italian Air Force.
