No, that's the difference between pipedreams and reality.


Lets say a seventy years old imported (polite version of stolen) technology
(stealth) defeated by another seventy years old imported technology.

I wonder why they demonstrate the abilities of f22 aganist f15 (not designed to
detect stealth targets) and use demonstration results in their PR campaign?
Why not aganist silent sentry which is designed to detect and track stealth
targets?

Maybe because they want to demonstrate against something real? You'll
notice they didn't demonstrate it against flying saucers either.






Heck even Germans and Brits knew during WWII that significant backscatterer
reductions were possible by hard body shaping but forward scatterer reduction
was not.
Now US is learning hard way what Brits and Germans knew sixty years ago,after
spending zillions of dollars for a dead end technology.


I think you're missing the point entirely here. Take any fighter in
the world other than the F-22 and you have an aircraft that can be
detected by ANY radar in the world. You don't need to hang your hopes
on some mythical beast that someone might develope into a working
system in twenty or thirty years. You want to talk about "jurassic"
fighters? How 'bout Flankers, Fulcrums and pretty much every other
NON stealth aircraft in the world.






Thats the difference between advanced Nations and advanced Countries.

Good thing we're both.
