Cool, you can show a damaged F-22. And those “bolts” aren’t bolts. They’re flush with the airframe.
Sure. Whatever you say. I didn’t bring up “asymmetric” warfare in a discussion about how the F-22 is better.
so basically… you spoke about economy in a sukhoi vs raptor thread and i responded…
and im derailing the convo?
anyway, ill take my comment abt the afghan and Vietnam thing as an argument winning statement
It’s flush with the airframe :|
Exposed bolts and mesh is different than flush bolts that don’t hinder your stealth.
Yeah, because Economy is directly tied to Technological Development…
and as you can see here
these are SUNKEN hence they might as well be invisible
plus this is a pre production airframe
but not how good either of the two aircraft are.
you can make a superior aircraft with a lesser economy
I swear man.
Sunken and budged bolts are not FLUSH. Do you not know what FLUSH means? Do I need to explain it to you?
be my guest
you do know that whatever you say…
it wont change how different materials cast different amounts of radar return
and fyi flushed means level with a surface.
those bolts on the 22 are not perfectly flushed
Flush with (something) - Idioms by The Free Dictionary
Definition 2. Adjective
Fitting snugly or evenly next to something else.
Example: The drywall isn’t flush with the jamb, that’s why you’re having trouble opening the door all the way.
Example: I think you’ve put the wrong puzzle pieces together. That piece clearly isn’t flush with the one next to it.
Example: Why doesn’t this outlet cover flush with the wall? Did a screw come out?
Being bulged out or inside of something is not FLUSH and horrifically damages your radar signature.
severely magnified
can you now see how they are not flushed?
plus they are not level surfaces. they are asterisk bolts (*) shaped
You’re cherry picking a damaged F-22.
Do you see how the average F-22 doesn’t have obvious nose damage? What you’re doing is Deceptive Imagery Persuasion by choosing one single damaged airframe and using it as if it’s every aircraft and it’s not working.

and you are cherry picking those few pre production sukhoi airframes with bad stealth
could say it better but you own words will do
