    Regarding emission "power" and what determines whether a radar can detect (vs track) any particular aircraft.... As occurred in Bosnia when an F-117 was shot down, emission "power" isn't as important as FREQUENCY. A low-frequency radar works well even against stealthy shapes and materials, and this is why most SAMs can "detect" even stealth aircraft. The lower the frequency, the more it is impervious to stealth techniques. However, the lower the frequency, the lower the "resolution" of the radar return signal - ie, a low frequency radar may only be able to tell that the target is within a 1 km "box", which isn't good enough to guide a missile to a target (unless your missile has a 1 km kill-radius - ie, a nuclear warhead). Low frequency radar receivers need a BIG antenna, too. This is why you still see those enormous, steel-frame antennas in use. This makes them hard to make into a mobile battle-field tool, but around an airport or on large naval ship, they are fine. This is why an Aegis can detect and track AND fire missiles at stealth fighters even as an F-16 with a small antenna and corresponding high-frequency radar may not be able to even detect the stealth fighter within a few hundred meters. Having more a more powerful emitter *helps* - it means whatever return you get will have that much more power when it bounces back, but if you aren't using an appropriate emission *frequency* your power level may be completely irrelevant. (Also, note that the "power" of an EM wave is proportional to it's frequency, so there may be some confusion and miscommunication when someone is citing the "power" of a particular radar system... ie, radar system A transmits at a frequency that is 10x higher than radar system B, it just means radar system A will have a finer resolution than radar system B, not that A can necessarily detect more things than B....)

    So a couple of things on the Mossie, it was known to have a small RCS during the war so was relatively 'stealthy'. Most of the aircraft is made from wood but there are two areas which are not, the engines and cowlings are made from metal and the other is the canopy. Glass is also fairly good at reflecting (so is the interior of a cockpit) which is why the Raptor has a gold canopy (other aircraft have gold windscreens for the same reason) to reduce reflections. Also 'Freeman's Folly' is named for Air Chief Marshall Sir Wilfrid Freeman who was all for the aircraft when no one was.
    Kortana, relating to your comment on low flying, during the now legendary Dambusters raid of May 1943 one the Lancasters flew so low over the channel it's bomb was ripped off when it hit the sea, the rear gunner complained his feet were getting wet... At least two others crashed due to hitting power lines. Guy Gibson also nearly lost his bomb flying too low over the sea but he went on to hit the target. Don't forget these are four engined heavy bombers with a wingspan of over 100ft and a length of just under 70ft.

      We ended up building a radar invisible car, the Viking Car VII, in college by accident back in the early 80's. I have no idea why radar doesn't track it. WWU's Viking Car VII was a high performance sports car built to determine if high fuel economy and clean exhaust could be maintained while offering “Supercar” levels of performance. Mitsubishi provided us a experiemental carb, in return they got access to the test results. Although fuel economy on the highway was only 50 MPG, less on the LA 4 cycle, the car accelerated to 60 MPH in 5.3 seconds and could generate over 1 G in cornering. It won the A-Modified class in local Autocross competition two years running.

    Here is something you could test: fly with an f35, missle doors open, radar on, basically make yourself visible on purpose, so the sam engages at a high distance, and gives away its position. Then go to stealth mode, stay at a distance where stealth is effective to evade the enemy aa attack. After that, bomb the sam from the maximum safe distance. Or just relay the coodinates to command, which can then launch cruise missles.

      The game also doesn't model radar detection accurately enough. I haven't looked into the coding but I'm almost positive that it's getting the radar signature of the F-22 wrong. It's really a hard airplane to track with the Indium Tin Oxide coating over the glass and RAM coating the main structure. Spotting it on radar is one thing, but maintaining sight of it and getting a missile to track it is another.

      You don't have to necessarily play missions or go up against others online in DCS to enjoy it and learn from it. Most of the time I fly in DCS it's in offline of me just learning how to operate everything on an aircraft or practicing something like carrier landings. Just doing that by it's self will give you a valuable experience and insight that can't be learned any other way. Plus nowadays you don't even have to spend a dime to enjoy DCS as a casual player. DCS is free to download and there are several good free mods of aircraft to download like the A4 Skyhawk.

    Flying in formation seems like it would only make the radar cross section almost if not actually double.

      Actually now that the software limiters are gone, the F-35A enjoys a 16-1 kill death ratio in dogfights at Red Flag. It's more maneuverable, accelerates faster, and has a higher aoa than both the F-18 and F-16.

    @Zereniti77 2 роки тому +1

    I think the mistake people make when thinking about "how effective stealth is?", is that they think it's binary. Either plane is stealthy or not. Either radar can see it or not. And if radar can see F-22 or F-35, then they start thinking "so what's the point of stealth"? The thing is that even if/when radars can see a stealth plane, it will be much harder than seeing non-stealth plane. If (for example, completely hypothetical numbers) radar can detect a non-stealth plane at 150 kilometres, it might detect stealth plane at 70 kilometres. So yes, it can detect the stealth plane, but the benefit of stealth would still be obvious.

    Forgive me if I am wrong, but I always thought stealth flying meant not banking too hard. That the aircraft is designed to provide a low radar signature when it is level but once the aircraft is banking its sides can no longer deflect the signal away but directly a back to the radar.

    • @Ryan_Christopher

      No, because the RCS of each 5th Gen aircraft is only the size of a…Bee.
      And in fact close formation flying for non-stealth aircraft is a tactic to make them appear lesser on radar than they are. Since stealths have no such burden, they can fly however wide they want.

      To be fair, when you're flying on burner at treetop level, AAA isn't gonna get much time to orient and fire before line of sight from the gun is broken again. Even someone that's switched on with say a pdw for target acquisition speed probably won't be able to get more than 3 rounds off on full auto assuming they can point it in the general direction of the plane before it's gone again. Now trying to do that with heavier machinery it just makes it harder. At that altitude. Your biggest threat is crashing

    You need a kill chain to shoot down a jet.
    Detection, track, lock and fire.
    The F22 and F35 makes detection hard, extremely hard.
    Even when a SAM system like the S400 detects a F35 or F22 at 50 miles it's being jammed by the F35 so tracking isn't an easy thing to do.
    Even within 30 miles of it finally is able to track the F35 or still needs to get a lock on.
    In the meanwhile the F35 will be able to fire Harm missles at it from over 60 miles away.
