The video is the second (and concluding) part of our coverage of radar stealth used in combat aircraft. It goes more in detail about the nature of radar waves, differences in wavelengths, interactions of waves with fighters, radar absorbing materials and so on. It even goes a little bit about history of stealth and what changes on the battlefield dictated the need for stealth.

"Stealth is important" [sponsorship arrives unexpectedly] Sun Tzu approves.
i know country vs country videos created this channel, but these documentaries on real-life technologies are what's keeping us old fans coming back (at least that's my opinion).
I would disagree, i get very excited when i see a new binkov video and then very disappointed when it isn't country vs country and thus end up skipping it entirely. Each to their own though.
That was the stealthiest advertising segue I've ever seen.
This is by far the most informative video regarding Stealth technology ever.
This has been one of THEE best videos on stealth I have seen yet. I learned something new like how the radar waves can actually travel along the skin almost like water can run along the underside of a flat surface, in small quantities and that's why the F-35's nose looks the way it does. Fascinating.
This golf ball analogy is a popular misconception. The plane won't reflect the same radar return from every angle cause its shape is diffirent than a ball. In fact from some angles the reflections of the same plane could go from this "golf ball" to a house size.
Yup, mission planning and managing your emissions returns is key. Gotta wonder if the stealth jets have their own sensors that will give the pilot cues on how to position their plane vs real time threats. Sure they have something just never heard of or looked into it really.
@@Kman31ca Penetration missions are planned ahead with recon and intelligence gathering about all potential threats and their location to determin the optimal flight path. But after all in combat everything is possible, unexpected shit can occur then the pilot asses the situation and decide.
@@Kman31ca The F-35 has extremely comprehensive sensors and data sharing across many platforms, as well as a streamlined pilot VR interface to keep the pilot as well informed as possible. Avoiding giving radar stations (and possibly angles between split radar emiters/recievers) a broadside view of your flat surfaces is key. Plus avoiding giving IR platforms an up-skirt view as well. Low level flight helps immensely though, which is why the F-35 has such a high wing loading, it's very resistant to vertical wind sheer, making treetop level flight safer than most planes.
I really enjoy these more in depth videos discussing aspects of warfare not well understood by many. You should produce more of these type of videos going forward.
I really love the war scenario videos but you can only do so many scenarios before they start becoming gratuitous and less interesting.
Great transition to your sponsor!, I've not seen it coming. (Stealth transition)

Thanks for this, people really needed to know what stealth actually means and not the movies 😂
Low-frequency bands are effective against stealth, and works in less desirable weathers and is long-ranged, but it have limitations: mobility of the radar platform, resolution (accuracy and precision). Extremely high-frequency bands, even higher than the X-Band are also effective against stealth, but it also have limitations: short-range, power consumption, susceptibility to weathers, and modern stealth planes can deal with it.
That's why air defense is no substitute for a good air force. Modern stealth planes carry standoff weapons, and use its advanced ESM to stay away from the radar. So you have to invest a lot in the radar placement, which will eventually add up and become just as expensive as procuring a lot of stealth planes. Early warning radars can detect stealth planes at longer ranged, but it doesn't have the accuracy to guide missiles, so even if it cue its findings to the engagement radar, it may still not be able to shoot the stealth plane down since engagement/fire control radars use X and C-Bands, which stealth planes optimized against, it simply doesn't have the range to get a lock even if surveillance and early warning radars knew the general direction of the plane. Basically, you can see the stealth plane, but unless it fly close to you, you won't be able to do anything about it. That's why it's important to also invest in procuring interceptor aircraft, because any competent pilot of the stealth plane will stay outside the range of the engagement/fire control radars. If your early warning/surveillance radar detected a stealth plane, but enemy's stealth plane is too far away for your engagement/fire control radar and missiles to reach, you have to send your interceptor aircraft.
Stealth aircraft also lose a lot in different aspects, because of their construction. First of all, with their price (and in particular the total monopoly of Lockheed Martin in the west, that drives the price through the roof) most air forces are unable to replace 4th generation fighters with nearly the same numbers of F-35. Quantity has a quality of it's own, and that means every loss is a powerful blow to their user.
Secondly, weapon bays. They not only impact aerodynamic performance, relying on them means that your total missile load is less than half of a F-15 or Su-27. Opponent's planes can go turn around when shot at, waste your ammo (they are able to escape thanks to their overall better energy perfomance), and simultainously return fire with a bigger quantity of missiles. After one exchange, the side employing stealth fighters can be already out of ammunition.
The impact of construction on the energy and maneuvrability can be mitigated in different ways, and 2-engined fighters will be vastly superior here. So flying like a brick is more of a problem of a single plane (single engine F-35), than the whole concept.
@@bogdanbogdanoff5164
Fair point, but the F-35 has a similar thrust-to-weight ratio to the F-16 when adjusted for the fuel capacity, it's no flying brick, many pilots pointed out that the F-35's kinematic performance is very similar to the F/A-18, allowing it to perform a certain post-stall maneuver that F-15 and F-16 can't, thanks to its all-moving horizontal tails. And at least from a rough calculation, it seems to be able to out-accelerate the SU-27 in subsonic region. Stealth planes' overall design is not as aerodynamic as non-stealth planes of a similar capability, but it's somewhat offset by a lack of parasitic drag from external load. The F-22 can carry as much air-to-air missiles as a Eurofighter, and the F-35 will have the Sidekick installed sometimes in early-to-mind 2020s, allowing it carry up to 6 AMRAAM equivalent internally in total. Non-stealth fighters will have to carry weapons externally, creating drag and higher radar return, and the increased drag and weight will reduce the range of the aircraft. That's why F-18, F-16, and F-15 never actually filled their hardpoints in combat because they can't get a meaningful range out of it. There's no point carrying 10 guns if you can only hobble it for a short distance.
Also, the stealth plane can get into the range of its missile's no-escape zone against opponent's non-stealth aircraft, allowing a high probability of hit. BVR is mostly useful against large aircraft, such as bombers, AWACS, and tankers. Against fighter-sized targets, it must get closer, and to reduce the chance of your enemy employing the same tactic, having a stealth plane is a good idea.
@@mickeyg7219 Stealth aircrafts should be used as intercepters, i agree. But they are too expensive to be a front-line fighter. If it's all up to WVR, stealthiness has no mean. Their duty should be intercepting by getting close before being detected and supporting agile, cheap (that's why many) fighters to start their close combat.
Fighter mafia members once simulated a close combat between F-15's and F-5's that are worth the same price in total. For example 1 F-15 vs 10 F-5. And F-5 was the winner. Higher quality and price is defeat in this incident. So there must be diversity among aircrafts. If a stealth aircraft is requested to carry more weapon by compromising stealthines
why is this aircraft exist in the first place? There are so many aircraft can carry tons of weapons without stealth feature.
In future combat rules may change. Laser weapons may chance everything we think about WVR. But fundamental rules will remain same, if the aircraft is more agile it's ability to survive a missile is more. A fronline fighter also doesn't need to much weapons because in combat with 200 fighters launching missiles each other, probably aircrafts won't be flying for long. They should face the enemy with agile characteristics and get support from the interceptors with their long-range missiles. Surviving fighters can get fuel from a tanker, this isn't a big deal after managing a combat.
@@mickeyg7219 By brick I meant excessive energy bleed during maneuvers. If the lightning 2 has to turn tail and dodge a BVR missile, it likely won't climb back into the fight because of how inferior it is in this department. Comparing it to a viper really doesn't help your case, as it is also not an energy fighter, but a one engine multirole. It is a one trick pony, and the expensive trick it does is under a threat of multiple technical ways to detect it, which can be perfected at any time of it's service. And they project it to serve for 30 years?? Thanks lockheed, my greatest ally

I think the next Challenge in the Fighter Jet design is how to get rid of the Loud noise it generates in the sky.
appreciate the level of detail and the accommodating imagery. Great job as usual comrade! One aspect to consider is only technology advanced countries with large budgets can afford stealth. These being Nato countries, Russia, and China. Other countries will in the future focus on defeating stealth given the large expenses with plane design and production.
Good video looks like you put a lot of work and research into it
I expected to have to correct 1001 things in this video. But I don't.
Only thing I'd add is that the proliferation of IRST as a detection method puts a kind of range limit on stealth (at least for jet planes). As such, the F-35 is designed with a moderately weaker focus on RCS than the F-22. Only other possible additions being that stealth influence on designs in the US actually date back to the 1950's. The F-106 for example, has a shockingly small and well managed RCS. And the F-117's angular surface is actually kinda terrible, since triangular edges are much worse than bi-angular edges at re-radiation, and it's about as aerodynamically sound as a flying brick.
Gg
Stealth is for virgins. If it was me, I'd make an aircraft that would amplify its radar cross section to the point where the enemy would think they are being invaded by the alien saucer from Independence Day.
You made me laugh
They'll just think you're AWACS.
The entire surface of the F-35 is designed to serve as a transmitter/receiver. They are also meant to fly 3-4 at a time in order to enhance their ability. The plane is in an entirely different class and function even to the F-22.
US: F-22’s F-35’s, B-2’s, B-21’s and all of the US Stealth Drones!!!!
Russian/Chinese/Iran/North Korea: Oh my!
Michael Estala stealth drones are used for refueling only so far. China and Russia both has stealth technology.
Chengdu J 20/ sukhoi pak fa // shenyang J31 coff coff
LOL 1000 But they are still far behind the US in terms of technology. China steals most of their technology, but reverse engineering doesn’t mean they’ve truly understand and mastered the techniques needed to perfect it. Russia has fantastic engineering capabilities (My money would be on a Pak-FA over a J-20 any day) but because of economic issues they aren’t able to put the resources needed to mass produce their aircraft. A J-20 was detected by an Indian (Russian designed) Su-30 in 2018.
Dallin Shepherd i know f35 is invencible even there are some black stealth hawks around there. B2 is also one of the best in its kind.
J-20 was detected but India fighters and ground radar, the SU-57 has also been detected by Israeli radars, I wouldn’t say China and Russia are close to a stealth fighter
very smooth ad transition :D
Well what we're seeing is passive stealth. There's also the concept of active stealth, with wave cancellation techniques being used to defeat enemy radar by emitting an out-of-phase signal back at the emitter. But I think that would require a very powerful and very fast computer onboard the aircraft to analyze the incoming wave and quickly emit the cancelling wave back at the emitter. Probably not feasible at this moment. Perhaps when quantum computer become more widely available, and in more compact form factors.
But if this could be done, we would not have to deal with performance or aerodynamic compromises. You could put this equipment into something like a Su-35 or F-15 and make it invisible.
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877050919302170
That's exactly US stealth tech had adopted,,
Active STEALTH is a RADAR JAMMING capability..
only SUPER COMPUTER/ AVIONIC and powerful RADAR can do that's TASK..
@@riorazzer1090 Not radar jamming. That's been around for a long time. ECM.
Broadcast signals and white noise over the radar's frequency to produce false returns.
But everybody knows you're around once you've flipped on the ECM. And missiles such as the HARM can be designed to home-on-jam.
I'm talking about real-time analysis and processing of an incoming radar signal, and then emitting back an out-of-phase signal to cancel out the returns.
No one knows you're there.
Hands down the best video I have seen on the subject. Excellent work!
Nice transition to NordVPN :D

I have been working on a 6th gen concept and this is somewhat useful
Surprised much of this wasn't classified! Great video!
Since a radar wave is detected by reflecting back perpendicular to the source radar emitting the signal, by linking several radars to a computer system to be able to receive data from each other could you not increase visibility of aircraft, even stealthy? They could triangulate from their various locations to obtain fairly accurate position surely? With the right software surely you could perform 'machine learning' and learn various radar signatures and be able to get a sufficient position and trajectory for even targeting, by linking all the various radar and different bandwidths of available radar. All you need is a significant network of radar stations. So good for national air defences, but even in foreign territory have several dispersed radar units. Am I missing something critical here? Wouldn't this make stealth almost useless?
The cost of actually saturating an area with radar coverage to the degree you're proposing might see through stealth most of the time, but then an enemy will just start building $15million drones that can be economically sacrificed by throwing them into the grinder. So long as they destroy some of the radar coverage then the stealth is suddenly applicable again and the enemy spent less to destroy the radars than you spent building them. Also, because you are firing missiles at the drones, you are telling the enemy where your missile launchers are located.
In reality these radars are used to help defend key positions.
motmontheinternet Yes not an unreasonable point you make! Whatever technology exists there'll always be ways to try and counter it. And then there's a way to counter the counter. And so it goes, ad infinitum....
Yes. Except for the targeting part. Not sure how much is wise to say on that topic. But your comment kinda defines much of the escalation process in this arena. Ultimately it's a measures & countermeasures spending arms race. If you have more money to work with, or you deploy a measure who's countermeasure is more costly than the measure, you're playing to win.
Amazing as usual Comissar. Thumbs up!
F-22 uses both special foam, radar absolution coating, and high carbon composite materials.
F-35 Lot 4 uses both special CNT (carbon-nanotube) meta-materials and radar absolution coating.
@DarkAgit Backup No one has made that claim. It just gives stealth planes the advantage of being able to see the enemy far further away than they see you.
@@Kman31ca "immortal to radars" is particularly amusing because it looks like it's saying that f35s can now be cooked by radar
Video about 6th generation fighters
Please do UK vs Japan! Their spending is similar, but the British forces are much more geared to offence than Japan. British can use regional bases to balance manpower.
Apprently VHF frequnicies can detect stealth aircraft at longer ranges
VHF will get many false positives from weather conditions (e.g. the Davis VHF radar). And even if you do detect a plane, because of the poor resolution you do not know how many planes, what type, or what heading or velocity. You still need a more accurate fire control radar as you cannot fire a missile at where a plane is, but rather you must fire the missile where it's likely to be in order to make a successful intercept. VHF radars are also big and relatively immobile - easy targets. If the Gulf Wars any indication of US operation, early warning radars didn't help the Iraqis. They were blinded or disabled before the air campaign even began. Not that it really mattered as all it could tell the Iraqis were they were stuffed; the skies were full of wild weasles, decoy drones, cruise missiles, jamming aircraft / munitions, and anti-radar munitions that float in the air and destroy any active radars. Meanwhile, the Nighthawks were very successful evading defenses and hitting the heavily defended Republican Guard positions around Baghdad.
Great video! Very informative.. thank you!
Pretty decent video on stealth without diving too deep into technicalities. Reminds me of some parts from the 3 parts stealth article I read on AW&ST a while back. Could have used a little explanation on "Full aspect Vs partial aspect" stealth... or another video on it 🤔
Next Video: The World vs Coronavirus
Dear lord, your content is absolute gold
Little addition, the F-117 was only faceted because of limitations of then current computer simulations. Only a few years later Northrop had Tacit Blue flying.
Can you make video about russian army strenghts and weaknesses?
modern deceptive jammers can copy an incoming pulse then emit a distorted version to the seeker-head on the missile to confuse it...move...counter-move [laser seekers could change the game]
You are talking about track-breaking radar jammers, and the technology for that is at LEAST 50 years old. It was used in Vietnam as the ALQ-51 and ALQ-100, and later as the ALQ-126.
The University of vmanchester developed a graphne coating that can absoeb radar signals.
hmm, this gets me a thinking, perhaps it might be possible to make a machine that creates false radar signatures so that it looks like in one direction you are being attacked by legions of aircraft that aren't there leaving other areas open to attack
The allies did something similar to this with chaff and balloons during the d day invasion. They dropped tons of chaff and had reflective balloons far up the coast from normandy to make it look like the main invasion force was coming across there. Here is a link about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Day_naval_deceptions#Glimmer_and_Taxable
Yea that's what decoys mean
I think that is also what jamming aircrafts do, the basically send false radar returns
Yeah, but you must know exactly what signals to return, because the enemy surely knows what a true radar return looks like.
In fact, chaff is becoming less and less effective to confuse missiles, because the missile guidance system takes into account things like the speed of the wave and the Doppler effect. Chaff doesn't move at the same speed as an aircraft, and with that parameter alone, it can be easily filtered out.
You can, however, just saturate the everloving fuck of the electromagnetic spectrum, and hope that the enemy is out of anti-radiation missiles.
Do a video or Series of time wars like medeaval vs modern or ww2 vs medeaval or germany vs rome or modern US vs 1800 British empire or something like that
One interesting question is whether networked planes could stand far apart so that one could listen for diffuse returns while the other broadcasts radar. This would seem to defeat most techniques shown here.

Yep, "shape, shape, shape..." Eurofighter = LOL!
Wow superb! And fascinating...
In the final part of the video it is stated that the stealth technology would be composed by shape + shape + material + material but I would reduce the shape to just one and three materials. I found an article about a Soviet mathematician named Pyotr Yakovlevich Ufimtsev, who in 1960s began developing equations for predicting the reflection of electromagnetic waves from simple two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. Much of Ufimtsev's work was translated into English, and in the 1970s American Lockheed engineers began to expand upon some of his theories to create the concept of aircraft with reduced radar signatures. A stealth engineer at Lockheed, Denys Overholser, had read the publication and realized that Ufimtsev had created the mathematical theory and tools to do finite analysis of radar reflection. This discovery inspired and had a role in the design of the first true stealth aircraft, the Lockheed F-117. Northrop also used Ufimtsev's work to program super computers to predict the radar reflection of the B-2 bomber. So the anterior gives us the idea of how the " shape " into the stealth technology is mature enough, the next is the RAM (Radar Absorbing Materials).
You're absolutely right . In fact , Pyotr Ufimtsev is the father of stealth technology . He was , actually , the chief designer of both the F-117A and the B-2 . He defected to the west when his designs ( principals for F-117 , back then Project Have Blue ) were rejected by the Soviet MoD . Back in his time all his equations and research was focused on how to make the aircraft's aerodynamical design to reflect waves .
@@sovietunion8158 You are full of crap and you know it as well as most that read your pathetic attempt of propaganda. While he did "develop equations for predicting the reflection of electromagnetic waves from simple two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects", he was in no way affiliated with the design of actual aircraft, and was living in the USSR when the F117 & B2 were designed by Lockheed and Northrop respectively. The fact that the USSR did not realize the possible implications of his work, and allowed his writings to be publicized internationally, was a colossal fuck-up of major proportions." Much of Ufimtsev's work was translated into English, and in the 1970s American Lockheed engineers began to expand upon some of his theories to create the concept of aircraft with reduced radar signatures." Thanks to the SOVIET UNION's blunder, the US has the most stealthy aircraft on the planet.
@@etech2xwon59 Stealth is old tech now . Dis you know back in 2017 a Russian Air Force Su-35S had an F-22A Block 40 Raptor on its IRST screen for 11 minutes without the Raptor even being aware of its presence ?
And you can read Ufimtsev's biography and watch his documentaries .
@@sovietunion8158 The Raptor was definitely aware of the Su-35S's presence. There was simply no reason to react because we are not at war with each other and it is *never* a 1vs1 situation.
@@dumdumbinks274 It was not aware of its presence because the Su-35S had turned of its radar . It detected the Raptor using passive measures ( IRST ) which are undetectable .
Can you maybe ever do US and China vs the rest of the World?
Russia vs Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland
So when will we see the deployment of the next generation radar?
The big problem with lowering the radar cross section by only an order of magnitude using special materials is that diffuse return of a signal is proportional to distance to the fourth power, which increases very rapidly as distance decreases. So that's only really a 44% reduction in detection range. Significant, yes, but not really decisive as an advantage. Roughly the same advantage that wearing dark clothing would give you against an adversary with a flashlight.
Peter Smythe Interesting
44% is a lot when you are flying at mach 1.5
You asked at the beginning shape or materials as far as stealth working it's a bit of both but if you can ionize the air around the craft you will go invisible.
Yeah but if ionize the air around you (plasma) you also staets lighting in some spectrums

Thank You, Binkov
Unfortunately, the practical future of air warfare is unmanned. If you lose five UCAVs at twenty million each, and kill even one half billion dollar jet: you've won in terms of cost and crew sustainability.
That future is very far off. Right now a $20 million UCAV isnt even capable of engaging fighters at close range effectively, let alone BVR where a $80 million fighter can absolutely dominate a UCAV. Then you have to consider the effect of electronic warfare on UCAVs, because they rely on networking a lot more than any fighter does.
I'm not aware of any half-billion-dollar fighter jets. Unless you mean something big like a B-2 or A-380.
Besides the main mission for fighter jets today is Ground Strike and SEAD.

Great video. This 2 video series is excellent - thanks for all of your work.
Stealthy is not only radar absorbation.
S3/400s couldnt detect F35s circling above them in Iran and in Syria, so theres a lot more to American stealth technology then you know
Detection isn't a matter of IF, it's a matter of how far away, and from what angle.
Which is why internally, it's called "low observable", not "invisible". It takes good intel and clever flight planning to exploit fully. Pilot situation awareness in the F-35 make it arguably better able to remain hidden than an F-22, despite a larger RCS. People also really underestimate the value of treetop level flight though, the curvature of the earth hides you fairly quickly, without so much as a hill to hide behind. And ground clutter makes things hard on radars as well. Data sharing from a non-stealth stand-off platform, and a closer attack stealth plane, mixed with some jamming and other diversions can be devastatingly effective.
@rob 998 if MSM you mean russia having its pansir destroyed twice on two separate occasions by F35s and russia pulling it out of service and replacing it by tor, propaganda? Lmao iran also admitted it and fired their general, it was even news inside of iran from their state run media. But hey, the ignorance is on you.
@@kathrynck no, incorrect. I have the rf profiles and I can tell you the F35 is stealthy from the front, narrow front especially. Other Angles it is decently stealthy, however it flew circles over the systems. Destroyed two pansir systems as well.
@@patrickrk44 Well I ever said it wasn't stealthy from the front. But to a trained eye it's easy to tell that It's at the rear where the stealth is less refined than the F-22 or B-2. And even from the front, the F22/B2 are somewhat better in RCS performance. But if an F-22 or B-22 pegs a couple mosquitoes on take off, then the bug splat makes them much more similar. So the F-35 has a more "pragmatic" stealth.
It's not sloppy engineering, it's choices made in which compromise to take. IRST is the emergent "counter stealth" tool of choice. And the F-35 is designed around taking a slightly less extreme emphasis on RF stealth, in order to regain some design benefits in other aspects of it's design. From the rear jet aircraft are especially vulnerable to IRST detection, so the temptation to go with a more efficient but less stealthy engine nozzle was too tempting to pass up. It does have an interesting nozzle though, but I don't think it'd be a good idea to explain in detail, since it goes into ideas which aren't included in this video. But the F-35's RF stealth is very carefully matched to it's IR detection vulnerabilities. Which really simplifies the workload of avoiding detection.
The F-35 does have a surprisingly constrained IR signature for a plane making, i think it's up to 46 or 48k lb wet thrust now. It's an amazingly smartly designed plane. I think it's the most deadly plane in the sky (although if they updated the F-22 to a "C" model, it would pull ahead).
Eu (with uk) vs China arena war
The F-35 has an active radar cancellation system. that is why it is more stealthy than the F-22.
12:36 I just noticed that the SR-71 has its tail elements pointing inwards, reflecting any radar way uprwards. Though this thing fly very high.
That, or downwards directly into more of the plane
RIP speakers.. also, awesome segway :D
I read somewhere that it was 90% shaping and 10% materials that determine the final RCS.
what about variable geometry? would it be practical for a fighter to fold canards/tail into a flying wing config to infiltrate and mask it's RCS and then switch to a mnouverable config to evade missiles, drop bombs, etc?
Variable geometry in planes/bombers needs technical parts that have gaps in order to move or extract during heating/flying fast. Gaps are spots for radars to detect.
Man make more videos Yu be taking forever to drop some new shit man
I have a question in battle and firefights if a soldier gets shot and dies can normal and i mean normal soldier's not medics tell if he is dead or not because as far as I know all soldier's get some basic medical training but not as much of medical training as medics get is that right or not
Well, if someone is dead, it isn't hard for ANYONE to tell if they are dead. Civilians, you or I, even animals, can tell if someone/something is dead.
If the question is "can a standard infantryman provide combat first aid" then the answer is yes, all soldiers have basic first aid, but depending on the severity of the wound, or complications, they will need a combat medic, or a hospital.
@@komdivmaklenskov1105 ok so if a soldier dies in battle the other infantry can tell if the soldier is dead is that right
@@komdivmaklenskov1105 you here
Good video. In air and naval war in the modern age, it's all about sensor ranges and detectability, since the weapons systems have such high probability of kill.
SECOND........I LIKE UR EVERY VIDIO.
I wonder why I fell u are the most,
Accurate then the ones' country itself.
