Banning Planes

Yes, I did mean the Mig-29 fulcrum. And that was my question when I figured that out Swagger. It makes sense that they can't afford them because of the soviet fall, but they're supposed to be on an ecconomic rise to certain extent and assuming that thats still accurate they should be able to afford them now.

You can't really compare the F-22 to anything because its a new stage in evolution of the fighter. For all the money and complicated systems in the
F22 it pays off. On several ocasion's while testing, the F-22 went up against 5-1, 7-1, 10-1 engagements and has come out on top. So your getting your moneys worth.

And if you want to engage the F-22 on an even plain you'll most likely need an equal capable, expensive, and advanced plane.

To answer both of those, the Su-37 is the Russian answer to the American F-22. So the comparison is reasonable.
