Not right now. The USAF needs an update.
The SU30s and 31s are probably the best planes in the air
right now (and for my taste, the most beautiful.)

Gautam,
See my other posts. The F-22 has already stood up for duty, and taken
the mantle of deadliest aircraft in service from the Su-35.
However, because of other advantages the US has (AWACS, the AIM-120
AMRAAM and the datalink facilities that the F-15's got in the late
1990's) the F-15 enjoys a health superiority in real combat situations
over anybody who lacks those facilities (Essentially anyone except the
Japanese, who also have their own AWACS)
