    It’s supposed to be an air superiority aircraft not an interceptor. I think you’ve confused the two. Inceptors are defensive, air superiority are aggressive.

    Their role is to take control of new areas, in this role they’ve been taken out by Ukraine’s air defence. Which defends against aggressive aircraft.

      They still are not intended for invasion and air to ground attacks.
