Yeah I was a bit confused when you were applying more -10dbsm to the bird like rcs (-15 to -25dbsm iirc).
I absolutely do not believe that f22 rcs is -40dbsm average frontally, far from it. This is a educated guess but it likely sits at -20 to -25dbsm. It may reach those -40dbsm values but those are minimum at very small angles that it practically doesn’t matter in combat, that too at untold frequency values.
Regarding the document, as you said it is for frontal, we still don’t know the frequency, considering how many random values are given by officials linking it too almost every thing possible in a kids encyclopedia, I don’t think it’s fair to assume it’s for X band, but still it is something to note, and that it’s absolutely not -40dbsm average.
Mind if I use these texts for a post, and the file you gave before? (I will credit your :D)
I don’t 100% remember what the discussion was about but I think the other guy claimed that China got earlier/ worse versions of the Irbis-E in their Su35s
Unless it’s a MiG-29 9-41 / 9-47, or in technicality an Su-30MK2 (which is hilariously better than the M2)
Such as? Both are an N035, both share the Irbis-E name. Unless you can mystically pull up a never-before-seen designation relegated to Chinese export models…
