Fair enough? How was the unarmed Su-24 (aircraft that is not even designed for dogfight) supposed to defend itself against air superiority fighter like the F-16 is? You surely don't know what are you talking about.
"have you heard of “high cover”? That is what the F22 wingman very likely will be doing....."
Firstly, he certainly can't fly too high above if he wants to intercept the Su-35 in the right time what just minimizes his chance to not be spotted and secondly, that wingman would be very lucky if the Su-35 pilot wouldn't noticed him when you consider how clear the Syrian sky mostly is, like above every desert areas.
"BTW 5th generation capabilities allow fighter pilots to provide mutual support to each other without the need to be in visual range"
The F-22 uses the Link 16 for that purpose, like most of the Western 4th generation fighters, so this is not a matter of just 5th generation capabilities.
The Russian counterpart is known as the S-108 data link and is used by the Su-35S. This allows the aircraft that using it to be networked and exchange tactical data with air, sea and ground assets, means that other Su-35s operating in the area (and even the long-range SAMs like the S-300/400) would have sufficient situational awareness all the time.
