F-35 News. They did a simulation between the F-35 vs. SU-35?

via The American Thinker...
In fact, in battle simulations of the F-35 against the Su-35, 2.4 F-35s are lost for each Su-35 shot down. Pitting the Gripen against the Su-35 results in 1.6 of the Sukhois shot down for each Gripen lost. The loss exchange ratio of the Gripen against the F-35 is said to be breathtaking – in the Gripen’s favor.
The article for the most part is unremarkable.  Plenty of assertions are made that we've all heard before.  MOST ANNOYING is the meme that Sweetman started that pisses me off to this day.  The USMC did not ruin the F-35 by insisting on a STOVL model!  Why USMC Communications isn't pushing back against that is beyond me but CONGRESS combined three separate programs and pushed the issue!  NOT THE USMC!

Having said that I would love more info on this combat simulation.  Who did it, under what circumstances.  How could the Gripen have such an outstanding turn against the SU-35 yet the F-35 fail so horribly?

I ask that and I'm a critic of the airplane!

Additionally what about the other airplanes in play today?  How would a Typhoon, Super Hornet, F-16 Block 60 and others do?
