I would like to see NG over C/D ( like here below enclosed F-2 and F-16 ); https://nationalinterest.org/blog/th…ld-deter-18660

I have seen that

Is that a real photo? OMG

Modern radioelectric ESM/ECM suites can accurately locate source of incoming radiation and generate targeting data by single plane.

Only against ground targets, it is very complex to geolocate air target because they can move.
even alq-218 only advertised capability to geolocate ground threat

Do anyone have an overlap image of Gripen NG over F-16?

F-35 at Red Flag 19-1 is doing its thing.

Is there a list of fighters type that joined this Red flag? Any European one?

Iam wondering, what was Rafale speed when the pilot pull 10G?

See above regarding chances of the VLO planes of catching the enemy side unaware. Some additional comments:
– I very much doubt the VLO plane will move erratically but on the contrary, keep its lowest RCS aspect towards the attacked plane. This restricts massively the space to be searched for. In any case I was arguing that the attacked plane would be aware of what is going on, as opposed to being caught off-guard by an incoming missile.
– Don’t know how difficult or time consuming is to locate a source of radiation like the applicable ones in practical conditions, triangulation is rather obvious unless further sophistication of the source signal is used. And as said, with an active homing seeker you don’t need to have perfect targeting data, only to guide the missile to the proximity of the target. Also anti-radiation heads exist, that can lock onto you radar emissions.

-You said a lone fighter, with 1 fighter, you can only triangulate to a stationary target.

-Moving erratically here include accelerating , decelerating, increase altitude, decrease altitude at unknown rate, all screw up passive motion analysis ranging.
-Range of active seeker is short and long range air to air missile need to lead intercept, so without exact location, your missiles can’t reach target

Now, how would a lonely fighter, VLO or not, manage to attack a modern adversary from far BVR without being noticed (by turning on its radar or providing mid-course guidance to its missiles) is a mystery to me.
Any modern fighter would be aware by the moment of launch (bay opening) the latest that he is under attack, which would allow him to counter it and reduce drastically its.

Why do you think it is a mystery? As long as your force have more than 1 VLO fighter, in combat they can guide one another through datalink like AEW&C guide conventional aircraft, only one aircraft need to have its radar on. VLO fighter won’t suddently look like B-52 once they open their bay so it is not a given that a modern fighter can be aware that they are under attack at that point.
In your scenario, if neither side have more than 1 fighter, the advantage is still in VLO fighter favor.Because, unlike with radar , it is very hard and time consumming for a single platform to generate firing solution with only RWR/ESM, if your adversary is constantly moving at high speed, in unpredictable direction in 3D space, then it is even harder, almost impractical.
