Anything is possible but I don't see it.
The Flanker is a nice piece of equipment but it would be a smoking hole before it knew a Raptor was in the theater. And it would go tanks dry before it ever got a shot off it did somehow detect the F22. Those engines are thirsty and have never heard of super cruise.
And, while big nukes are fine and lots of nukes are fine, targeting them is another matter entirely. We can put a cruise missile in a window a thousand miles away and it makes no difference which direction the window is facing. We can and do adjust the approach angle and hence the back blast effect to minimize collateral damage. The B2 can carry a number of independently targeted nukes (I think it is 16), drop them in salvo and leave the area while each bomb flies to its target. It may seem inconsequential but our bombs a markedly cleaner than theirs as well. Russia’s option is to fire lots and lots of nukes. It is essentially the shotgun effect. It would be effective but they couldn’t use the land for centuries.
The bottom line is their front line electronics just aren't up to the task.
Bagdad was the most heavily defended city in the world, with a significant amount of Russian hardware and the F117 and B2 flew through the air space undetected, not to mention unchallenged.
With Russia's economic situation I don't see them being able to make significant gains in technology any time in the next couple of decades. China, on the other hand has already received some of the west's newest technology in the form of game machines. Don't laugh, if it weren't for the video game industry we would all be using 286 processors and dreaming of a SVGA graphics adapter and a mother board with a PCI slot. The games drive the hardware and that is just a fact of life.

Well first I'm sorry for all th comments on spelling but the person who said the taking you seriously thing is sooo right but if u'll take me seriously then I'll stop writing properly too. (I thnk ur misspellings iis totally okay!)
Any1 in todays world could be stronger than an other nation. how can you think otherwise. in a world with thousands if not millions of things and places like area 51 nations can keep anything from anyone. the number of things that could be out there that we dont no is scary. i for 1 would be ready 4 anything in this unstable soceity that the world makes up 2day. i think that their are things in this world that are just waiting for people to find. and i do mean aliens either. i mean god nos what. its there and 1 day some nation well find it and what they use it for depends on their situation.

No Russia is not more powerful than the U.S.A....
With that said, I have to tell you I feel sorry for you because you are going to be bombarded with people being rude due to your bad grammar and spelling. If you want serious answers to your question you need to slow down think it out and use spell check.

What ever they have we have bigger , better faster, and more of it. We are the power and the left hates this as they would have any one over us so they could have some one to fear and love,"hate love"
The left are cowards and Russia is weak as they are trying to bring us down so they can be the big kid on the block but they are not and we will not let it happen.

Could, that is the word, and military is not the only thing that matters about power we defeated them economically, if anything. And just to let you know I really don't think any country can defeat The U.S.. Arrogant, maybe, but I would die fighting the bastards who thought they could take us over!!!

First of all... "powerfuller?". Really? You do know that isn't a word, right? I've been in Russian, back in 94'. Trust me, they never were the "super power" they pretended to be. Grow up.

They might or might not be, but I'd be willing to bet China could kick both their butts. Individually or together.
