Can I have some of the herbal supplements that your taking?!? Your comparing the Su-27's radar to the AN/APG-80 Aesa Radar and actually believe that the Su's radar is superior?? The aperture of the Su-27 radar is only 60° horizontal and 10° vertical (compared to 120° horizontal for a F-16). The F-16 is smaller than the Su-27 and have a more powerful radar so I would think that the F-16's would be able to detect the Su-27 sooner which is an advantage. F-16's are combat proven while Su-27's are not. Most F-16 aircrew have real world combat experience while most Su-27 aircrew do not.
