year, THINK
Read the WHOLE LINK.
wow, american mad man, i think i explained it earlier in another post, but, an F/A-22 isn't invisible to radar, not even remotely dispite all these
articles about its capabilities. those excercises with the 6 F-16C's going head to head with 2 F/A-22's and losing, i have no doubt in my mind that
tohose F-16's would lose, because their radarisn't that good, no wonder the F/A-22 was able to come in and rape them while they sleep(nice lol)but
the russians invented stealth, so they have ways around it, that probably no other countries know about, and their radars are much more powerful
You really are into mother Russia aren't you? First off - Russia did not "invent" stealth. A Russian mathmatician came up with SIMPLIFIED formulas
of a previous GERMAN scientists theories on radar returns. It seems that the Russians WERE TOO STUPID to classify this, because they just let it get
published.
THE US invented stealth - the first stealth aircraft deployed in the world was the SR-71 Blackbird. So don't go saying that Russia invented stealth -
they didn't come up wit the original theory, and they STILL havent deployed a stealth air craft.
As for the Raptors stealth, it is true that NO STEALTH is COMPLETELY invisable to Radar. I agree with that. However, the Raptors stealth is such that
no aircraft today would be able to see it on radar BEFORE the raptor had already killed it. OK.
The Raptors stealth is so good that F-15's can't pick it up untill it is within VISUAL range - again, relating to BVR combat, the Raptor will NEVER
be within visual range.
u know the practice between the indian Su-30MKI's and american F-15E's, the americans didn't have their frontline radars, well, hate to break it to
u, but the Su-30MKI's aren't even fully equipped yet either, russia was supposed to start selling them to india in 1996 and would continue to until
2000(thats four years) they were supposed to sell them in batches of aircraft, and every batch would be more modernized than the other, but russia
didn't start selling them to india until 2002, when the first batch was procured, so that means there's still about another 2 years of modernizing
yet until they will actually be able to be called Su-30MKI's, their name should be like Su-30M lol
Have you read the artical? The Eagles radar wasn't used, PLUS the Eagles were outnumbered 3 to 1, PLUS the range of the AMRAAMS was reduced by ONE
THIRD, PLUS we weren't allowed to use AWACS while the Indian AF was. The F-15s weren't just handicapped by their radar - their MISSLES were
handicapped in addition to being outnembered AND they weren't allowed to use AWACS while the enemy had a "simulated" one.
It's just a bad messure of skill - for both sides. Yuo can't take any wins for the Sukhois seriously because, lets face it, the practice just
wasn't realistic.
i still don't think u're getting it
U CAN STILL SEE THE RAPTOR ON U'RE RADAR, AND WHEN IT FIRES ITS MISSILE, BOOMB, THE SIGNAL EXPLODES, JEEZE
u act as if u won't see it on u're radar until u 're dead, buddy, listen, radar is the single most important thing that a pilot looks at, if he's
about to engage in combat, he looks at his radar every 3 seconds!, so, plz lol, stealth is crappy,
well, the version that costs bundles of money when a normal Czech radar can pick u up
k, stealth, russian invented stealth, but they didn't pursue it because they found out that it affected the attributes of the actual plane, and aince
dogfighting was the most important thing to them , they didn't pursue it, instead, they looked for alternatives
and the SR.71 wasn't the first one, i believe that it was the U-2, i'm not really sure though
yo, it doesn't mater, fight against the Sukhoi's in 2 years, that will be interesting, find me a site that states that their AMRAAms only had 1/3
the range and all that other crap that u said, i am aware that they were outnumbered 3 to 1 and that they didn't have the radar though
