[POLL] Su-34 vs F-35. Rate the best strike fighter in the world.

Proof?

You need proof for something so obvious? Stop trolling, and start reading.

Both are multi role. Neither is built for air to air combat. Both are built for attack. They have reduced speed and no thrust vectoring and reduced agility.

Multi-role imply suitability for both air-to-air combat missions and air-to-surface strike missions.

And only a mentally-challenged individual think that F-35 variants are not potent in air-to-air combat missions. Norway Royal Air Force requested USAF to dispatch a number of F-22A Raptor to stress their F-35 variants in mock fighting situations not long ago, because other aircraft were not up to the task.

Do you realize beast mode needs a n specialized pylon not your normal pylons ,it's double railed pylons that allow it to carry as much as 16 air to air missile , and they didn't built that pylon yet.
do you knew in beast mode you are supposed to carry 6 AIM-120 in internal bays and they don't have the necessary pylons for that ?

6 AIM-120 internally are part of F-35 Block 4

an addition to existing pylon for dual AIM-120 per pylon is not groundbreaking technology and is available for F-15, F-16 and F-18, considering pylons must be of equal modularity to allow the use of existing and future weapon systems developed not just by Lockheed but by other companies as well, there is no reason dual pylon addition is not compatible with F-35's current pylons. So, everything in the beast mode picture does exist.
However, the real beast will be when Cuda BVR missiles are available, and F-35 will be able to carry 12 BVR missiles internally.

Su-34 replaces Su-24 and Su-25. F-35 replaces F-16 and A-10. They have the same role. Attack.

Stop posting rubbish. Even if the touted replacements are true, Su-34 and F-35 variants are the outcome of entirely different design philosophies. F-35 variants should not be compared to 4th generation and even 4.5th generation combat aircraft, period.

Both have sensor fusion.

Su-34 have sensor correlation at best.

Where is F-35 Block 4? and again where is Cuda Missile

Where is F-35 Block 4? and again where is Cuda Missile

Block 4 development is underway: https://www.janes.com/article/78975/jpo-launches-f-35-block-4-effort

Every F-35 variant in service will be enhanced to Block 4 standard with passage of time. In fact, Block 4 would be the baseline standard in the 2020s.

Lockheed Martin is not joking. Just wait and watch.

we'll talking when that happened
