The Su-75 Checkmate, also known as the Light Tactical Aircraft (LTC), is now being referred to as the Russian medium fighter instead of a light combat jet owing to its size and a closer look at the design. The Su-57 and the Su-75. The Su-57 is 66-ft long with a wingspan of 46 feet. In contrast, the Checkmate is 57 feet long with a 39 feet wingspan.
On the other hand, assuming that the Su-35 exhibits an RCS value of 3m², even the latest Viper variant of the F-16 can detect a Su-35 from only about 115 kilometers, using its APG-83 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar. So clearly, the Flanker-E has an advantage in radar detection, an essential prerequisite for success in BVR combat.
The Su-27 Flanker and the MiG-29 Fulcrum were both designed and built by Russia to fight World War III side-by-side. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, that conflict didn't happen. However, the two Russian fighters would square off over Eastern Africa. Since Eritrea won its independence from Ethiopia in 1993, a border dispute had been simmering

It is much more remarkable to see a Su-37 do those gut renching manuevers with its size,weight and bulk as compared to the smaller and lighter mig-2
It was 23.71m long, 6.25m tall and had a wingspan of 15.24m. It also had a wing area of 113.8 m² (probably the most of any fighter in history). My guess is that it would be second only to the Tupolev Tu-128M Fiddler in size and weight. It was made of titanium and still weighed more than the MiG-31 Foxhound made of stainless steel.
