Back to our duel. In our scenario, let’s assume that each ship knows the location of the other at three hundred miles. At this range, the Iowa class is at a disadvantage: its longest-range weapons, the thirty-two Tomahawk missiles, are land-attack missiles and useless against the Kirov.
Setup: A Soviet Kirov-class battlecruiser, attempting to intercept a U.S. Navy carrier battle group, is intercepted by the battleship USS Iowa. The biggest ship-against-ship battle since the World War Two is about to begin. Who wins?
The Chinese aircraft likely falls well behind the Su-57 in terms of raw kinematic performance both in terms of maneuverability and high-speed supersonic performance.
