There Are Capabilities and Then There Are Capabilities
Check out this sales video displaying the rather incredible flight envelope of the Russian built Su-35. This is some of the best the Russians have to offer. I have seen some of our last generation fighters (F-15 and F-16) display similar capabilities when fitted with forward canards, but I have no idea about the newest F-22. What I have heard aout the F-22 is that 1) it can "supercruise" - meaning break the sound barrier - without afterburner and 2) It does not need to turn tighter than the other guy (even if it can, which I don't know) because it'll kill you before you see it.
Anyway, It's just a really cool video to watch.
