Firstly, There is no long/medium range search or fire control radar operating at 100 GHz, because that frequency get absorbed too much by the atmosphere, it can’t see far. There are certain radar operating at 94 Ghz but their role is mostly to observe cloud, glacier… and on sensor of air to...

1. I'm not entire sure what you are trying to say with the word "higher reliance" in this context?. You mean higher reliability? or what exactly you trying to say? 2. Fighters jet are not designed to perform in a vacuum. They don't just go 1 vs 1 with the enemy aircraft. This is especially true...

Firstly, extremely fast aircraft are expensive, like very expensive both from the material stand point and operational stand point. They are also very niche in their use. There a good reason why the world is populated with slower aircraft like Su-27/30/35, F-15, F-16, Eurofighter ..etc. You...

Clutter help reduce radar/infrared detection range, but it doesn't make your aircraft invisible An F-15 flying at 10 m above ground is a lot harder to detect compared to an F-15 cruising at 50k ft. But that doesn't mean it is as stealthy as an F-35 or B-2. There are several reasons why...

you can do that, sure they already do something similar to that on F-15 and F-18E/F It also possible on F-16 due to the twin pylon under inlet

You could in theory, but everything has a trade off if you want your IR sensor group to see in SWIR/MWIR/LWIR, you would likely make the dome/window from Zinc Selenide. Zinc Selenide has a yellow color Of course, that just the dome (window), what more important is the detector. Since no...

But the point is: How do you get to that position ? you can't just teleport there. Besides, how do you ensure the F-22 not pointing toward the Su-57? Su-57 can't just magically know the direction/speed of F-22 to have the 1st initiative. Radar most likely won't be effective consider that F-22...

You seem to have this very weird binary way of thinking that "if aircraft have advantage due to XYZ condition, that mean it will always remain victorious due to that advantage" . That just not how air combat work. It not how any type of combat work. Flying at lower altitude will give you...

The average all around RCS doesn't matter because you don't illuminate the aircraft from all direction at the same time. What matter is the median value of the specific direction. For example if they point their nose at you, then the head on median value matter. If they point their side at you...

How do you even adjust your radar beam angle so that it won't touch the ground when you want to track a target at lower altitude?. It literally not possible. If you want to point your radar beam so that it avoid the ground surface, that mean you have to point upward, and if you point up, you...

If we are being completely honest, the different in altitude make up a very small different in angle. For example: let say: F-35 cruising at altitude of 40,000 ft (12.2 km) while Su-57 cruise at 60,000 ft (18.2 km) 18.2-12.2 = 6 km in height. Using very simple trigonometry, you can see that...

it is actually, much harder to find a target at lower altitude, since the radar need to pick out target from ground clutter. A target at lower altitude can always hide their return better due to higher noise floor Furthermore, even with IRST or EO sensor picking out target from sky background is...

I really hope that you are joking

Yes, I do know the author from F-16.net, she did ask me for some help I don't think it is possible to ban someone on Wordpress, it is likely that if your comments have shortcut link or repetitive, it will just go to spam. For the rest, the simulation ran by computer rather than some person...

To be honest, That doesn’t look anything like a hypersonic missile. It doesn’t have any inlet to be a scramjet missile. The nozzle look more like jet engine rather than rocket engine. There is also no wing/fin for stability. I also can’t find any other source for that photo except your twitter...

JSM literally fit inside F-35, and it is an antiship missile So is AARGM-ER and SIAW which can be used for anti ship purpose Similarly Su-57 can also carry Kh-59MK2 and Kh-58UShKE

technically speaking, when your missile can literally go 925 km then stealth is kinda irrelevant, since you are already outside the radar horizon If you need stealth, then use JSM instead, it can be carried internally and can still fly 550 km

It not really that bad actually, consider that currently J-20 also only carry 4 MRAAM and 2 SRAAM for a total of 6 Su-57 currently can carry 4 MRAAM and 2 SRAAM for a total of 6 Su-75 currently can carry 3 MRAAM and 2 SRAAM for a total of 5 F-35 pre block 4 can carry 4 MRAAM and post block 4...

As of now, no 5generation fighter can carry something like storm shadow or AGM-158 in their weapon bay However, if you sacrifice warhead size then F-35 can carry JSM internally, which can actually fly further than AGM-158 while also able to attack moving target There is also SPEAR-EW which can...
