    :confused: Ever heard about something called wavelength?

    Why would wavelength affect detecting stealth? :confused:

    Radio wave is the same no matter what band, so why would L band be better for detecting so called stealth? :confused:

    Top is Su-35. Bottom is J-11B. Shape and size wise, they are identical.

    Numbers isn’t everything. The Luftwaffe lost to the RAF despite having a lot more fighters.

    There are many difference, both external and internal.

    Enjoy the read.

    1. I don’t read Russian.

    2. From what I can see, Su-27 and Su-35 are externally identical.

    China NEVER got the best of anything from Russia. No Chinese with any knowledge of Chinese aviation would ever say that. Are you actually Chinese or are you someone pretending to be Chinese?

    May not be the best, but some of the best. Israeli F-16I is technologically inferior compared to UAE’s F-16E. Doesn’t mean F-16I is weaker than F-16E.

    F-22 versus MiG-21 front. F-22 has way more reflective surface area than MiG-21 does.

    No way F-22 has a lower RCS compared to MiG-21. Just look at how big F-22 is. :rolleyes:

    I fail to see how F-22 and B-2 can be stealthy. :confused: Anyone care to elaborate?

    Not even close. What an absurd comparison. Russia was offering the Su-27 high and wide after the USSR collapsed. Same with S-300.

    The Su-35 is offered all around the world, what are you taking about?

    Doesn’t change the fact that China is the first user of Su-27 outside the former USSR, just as Israel is the first user of F-15 outside the USA. :eagerness:

    Show me examples that disprove what I said.
    S-300PMU2? Tor? Su-35? Klub? All sold or offered to others.

    And Russia has export specs for ANY export customer.

    China is the first export customer of Su-27 and S-300, including licensed production. China to Russia is like Japan or Israel to America. China is also getting 100 Su-35 from Russia, which is not offered to any other country.

    No it doesn’t. Nothing China has gotten, Russia wouldn’t, or hasn’t, sold to others.

    yes but because Russia needs China to counter NATO, China has the very best of Russian military technology

    Because China is Russia’s strategic ally, China gets the very best of Russian military technology. J-15 is only a small part of it.

    If F-22 isn’t a stealth aircraft then explain why the Russian T-50, Chinese J-20 and J-21 all closely resemble the F-22? All three of these aircraft boast from their manufacturers that they are stealthy aircraft

    An object’s RCS is determined by three ingredients: size, composition, and shape. In terms of size, F-22 is big at all angles. In terms of composition, F-22 is 43,340 pounds of metal, namely steel, aluminum, and titanium. In terms of of shape, F-22 is not much different from any other jet, say F-18E or F-15. F-22 may have reduced RCS, but that is up to debate. F-22 might have an RCS about 80 to 90 percent that of F-15 or F-4.

    :rolleyes:

    Yes, those HT-233/HQ-9 combo´s are combat proven and China has had the oportunity to measure the Raptor RCS in such a way that one of its aerospace specialists, you, can come here and tell everybody that such a system can detect, track and target an F-22 at “100 km´s”, right?

    Dear god…

    Look what British radar did to German planes during WW2. Now think about what HT-233, a powerful phased array radar, can do to F-22 and B-2. :eagerness:

    The F-22 is not a stealth aircraft? This will come as a surprise to Lockheed Martin!

    From what I know about the aircraft’s RCS, it most certainly is a stealth aircraft (unless LM fell dramatically short of their RCS goal to the point that would have resulted in the aircraft never being committed to production).

    Action talks bigger than words. F-22 has lower RCS, perhaps, but no way it’s stealth. Look, I don’t make the rules of physics. God does that. F-22 has never been proven in combat against any fair adversary. Unless it is proven, it is but a paper raptor.
