    This is the propaganda way of saying “MY DAD CAN BEAT UP YOUR DAD!!!”

    Hypersonically it goes door-to-door knocking
    “Any B-21’s here? No, right then. On to the neighbors.”

      This is the equivalent of someone telling you exactly which Bullshido moves they would use if they were attacked by a professional MMA fighter.

      In a simulation where the only radar reflector is one simulated jet, and there is no real hardware, it’s pretty easy to hit since the Pfa is effectively zero. In the real world, there’s a thousand different things which will give some similar energy return and there’s no simple way to filter that out without actually seeing the thing in real life.

      Stealth isn’t about zeroing the energy, it’s about pushing it into an ambiguous state space where it cannot be distinguished from birds and shit.

    I worked on the b-2 (has the same tech nearly). If you take a panel off to inspect anything or fix an issue the jet has to go to the paint shop to have the paint re-applied because its most of what makes it stealth. The paint absorbs radar.

    The most bat shit insane part of this is the missile absolutely cannot maneuver to intercept at hyper sonic speeds unless it’s a nuclear warhead. In which case, yes we know you can down a plane with a nuke.
