Incidently the fighter concept used plasma stealth only as a switchable “shroud” for the radar antenna, not for the whole airframe. Such a system could use a suitable gas encased in glass – when off, it would be radar transparent, when on, the gas would ionise and absorb radar signals.

You mean the radar of the Fighter itself? it would absorb all transimissions from the home aircraft????

They dont need to have any extra support for this, i mean the nose i glass anyways, with Quartz mixed in.

Why it should not be in the list. It can defeat Irak and Taliban just like the USAF with far less money.

Who can defeat Iraq? and the taliban?

Erm.. u might Wanna ADD PAK-FA into the Indian Inventory, Phalcons also. The mirage 2k will still be around.

The EFA into the UAE inventory..Not to mention the Hawkeyes and other force multiples.

for the UK still might see some RAF JAG-90’s oki they are being phased out and all but just look at Gulf war where buccaneers were used. oh yeah one question what other Aircraft has messed around with blown wings?

one of my favs

Dulce Et Decorum Est

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.

GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!– An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.–
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
