How comfortable is the Su-34 cockpit?
When people describe the Su-34 as having a toilet and a kitchen… it’s a bit of an exaggeration.

The crew have space to comfortably sit and even move around a little, and don’t need the bulky flight suits typically worn by fighter pilots
Can a Su-35 shoot down an F-35?
None. The Su-35 is a perfectly capable plane, it just has no means to detect an F-35 before an F-35 detects (and subsequently kills or evades) it. It’s a fact, the F-35 can detect the Su-35 well within its missile’s guaranteed kill range while remaining undetectable by the Russian plane.
