Su-34 developed from Su-27. Before it was called Su-27 IB (IB means fighter bomber). Replaces Su-24 and Tu-22 and Su-25. Armored cockpit. First flight 1990. Then Russia dirt poor until Putin revived Russia. Entered service 2014. Has PESA, Platan EOTS, digital FBW, RAM, rear warning radar. Top speed Mach 1.8. 2 seats 2 engines. Can carry R-77 and R-73 for self defense.

I think F-35 is more advanced but it comes with strings attached and has builtin kill switches. In addition. it is too expensive and its main camouflage (stealth) is not going to last long since already there are technologies that can detect it and those will get better and better in future and since it is relatively slow compared to its competition so without stealth is is not a worthy platform. For these reasons.. I rate Su-34 higher than F-35.

Su-34 has RAM also. However it is bigger so has larger RCS.

F35 is multirole not a bomber. When we say that then it may have some plus or minus because of role. SU34 is design for bomber and its role is define for that only, To me SU34

Bomber don't need Stealth because it come after all aerial war is over and enemy don't have any major threat in the air. It is already is in comfort zone so that they can destroy land target and clear the ground for army (which is layer 3 of attacking format)

F-35 is Joint Strike Fighter. It is primary role bomber, secondary role fighter, same as Su-34. It had F-22's TVC and super cruise deleted and added internal EOTS which adds weight which multi role jets don't have.

F-35 is not bomber you fool its a multi role Jet, its basically SEAD DEAD jets clearing SAMs threats for strategic bombers, but it can fight air combat with long range BVR, and short range air to air missiles, let me ask one question to you, world most potent, best and respectable multi role jet F-16 have TVC @undertakerwwefan :what::undecided: does F-16 have a super cruise capability @undertakerwwefan o_O:what::undecided:

F-35 is attack plane, not optimized for air to air. Multi role jets don't have internal EOTS. Adds weight.

It can, as a secondary role. It's more like F-105 and F-111 and F-117 than F-16 and F-15.
Whatever you think but its like F-16/F-15 which it will replacing, those attack jets you refer were only single mission jets and need a escorts from air superiority jets, so keep blabbering without a base @undertakerwwefan :blah::blah::blah:
