At that smal range the whole aircraft is a source of reflection....you're putting an object of 20mts size just 150-200mts away against a 10kWpower...the whole RCS thing is based on detection at beyond visual range,and not in front of eyes ....
GaAs from the 80s are different from the ones used in the late 2000s like size examples. Also numerous examples have been shown that KRET has made GaN EW systems for krasukha, khlibiny, tarantula and Himalayas, stating GaN was present in their EW systems in 2015, claiming they have switched to 20 watts in 2017 in their AESA arrays. But my main concern is the photonic integrated circuit production timeframe and that radars candidacy for the 2nd version of the Su-57. Because this news has been all over their articles and even straight from their companies.
It is very important to cite the full context of the photo rather than one image alone, and you are making the very same mistake that most people would make when they cite information, which is cherry picking what they looking for and completely ignore appearance contrary information
EOTS is generally considered better not because of the size, but because it is faceted, therefore the reflection lobe can be directed away from the source while a parabolic shape is more likely to have wide reflection lobe. Of course, that doesn't mean 101ksv make su-57 unstealthy or that Su-57 isn't a stealthy fighter.
Rafale has an IRST with LRF so that all a moot point. Secondly, stealth aircraft are not invisible, even low RCS from close range can have the same effect as high RCS from long distance
I didn't say obtuse angle is invisible to radar, I say the double bounce effect that gives a right angle corner massive RCS doesn't happen for an obtuse angle. That why as you can see in the simulation, the RCS value for right-angle corner reflector is literally 10,000 times higher than the one for obtuse angleI posted scientific data. Stealthflanker started nitpicking my source by stating it was measured by biostatic radar and very unlikely to produce radar return at those angles, you started repeated and copyed his points so then I posted the same source using an obtuse corner reflector using monostatic method when at a different angle and now suddenly you are crying that the image was taken by SAR imaging to generate an image of RCS
This one is the production variant right
yes more pics
She still doesn't have single piece canopy...
It's a beauty , Killer looks.
Yes it looks cool,
Till 2028, it is restricted to 76.
