The Su-35 is the Su-27 with a few upgrades and a new pick of paint for the export market. It's a 50 year old design , as is the Mig-29/35.

By Russia's own reporting, they had not managed to deliver 40 production T-14s by the end of 2022, citing the need for further testing and difficulties with manufacture.
If the Russian Army does have hundreds of T-14s, there's not really any reason to keep them secret, and I think we would would have seen footage of them in combat by now.
Sure, but most of it is 50+ years old. NATO has a much larger stock of aircraft manufactured in the past 20 years.
The Russian "equivalent of a honda" aircraft have seen their NATO equivalents like the F-14 and Harrier sold off to developing nations or retired.
Upgraded gen 3 fighters are not comparable to upgraded gen 4 or gen 5 fighters, and NATO has massively more gen 4s in service than Russia does.
It could also be a product of the widening gap in education. White British men are the least likely ethnic group in the UK to attend higher education.
, because then people will argue that everything has a soul.
Or that nothing does
Long Night of Solace , Shadow of Intent, All Under Heaven. Tons of great ones.
meanwhile, the death star took like generations of theorizing and development by like the smartest guy they could find, a completely unique and entire planet's worth of extremely rare, ancient magic materials, and multiple planets of slave labor to make a single doomsday weapon.
And they built another one, more than twice as large, very shortly afterwards. And another bigger and more powerful one after that.
Star Wars has tons of planet killing super weapons knocking around, some of which can work from tens of thousands of lightyears away.
but the federation of Star Trek just plain has superior technology by several orders of magnitude
It does more stuff sure, but Star Wars has provided numbers for lots of their ships, weapons and various technologies, and the numbers are far in excess of early-to-mid era star trek. Terrible numbers mind, with seemingly no thought for consistency, but they are canon.
A single star destroyer is enough to liquify the crust of a planet in fairly short order.
Does the force gain sentience
Lots of stuff in canon and from various creators (particularly George Lucas) suggests the force is already conscious and has it's own agenda.
While they're armed, most federation ships are primarily civilian in nature, and built accordingly.
The Federation delivers fully automated luxury gay space communism to monarchists, fascists and space-robots at the end of a phaser.
At least clear communication is something I won't need to expect here.
Don't come to a shitposting community expecting clear communication.
Shell manufacturing and electronics and vehicle manufacturing are two very different things and the former can be scaled much more quickly and easily than the latter.
