Yeah, the Felon is plagued with tons of real world problems and limited production numbers, let alone enough qualified pilots with enough skill to fly it.
Correct me if im wrong, with a stealth jet you dont want non angled flat areas, this thing has alot of non angled flat areas.

This plane isn’t “stealth”, it would’ve been a good 5th gen multirole

The F-22 wings are literal trapezoids, and so are the vertical stabilizers and the horizontal ones are wired looking.
Generally speaking, the fuselage of both are rather smooth and flow if you look closely at all the changes.

It’s not true stealth but it has the reasoning behind it that it does has a decently decreased radar signature.
Is there any credible proof backing this up?
It’s particularly not, yet it still had a decreased RCS.
It’s a quiet limited amount of knowledge out there that’s readily available, as it was flown once, only one prototype was built, and it never saw combat.

Same approach as the rafale minimizing rcs here and there where applicable

Indeed
yeah more CAS against tanks… 😒
Anyone who believes that either genuinely is doing a Senator Armstrong or has no idea what makes something low observability ot not
Also, as you pointed out, this thing is all external stores. To be stealthy you’d need to run a Gun and a Gun only. If that’s internally fitted, of course
Straight through
Just like the Su-57 has it “straight through”

That Raptor Slayer looks awesome, so I want it!

Despite practically 0 chances of this to appear, I personally wouldn’t mind one day. Plus not being a proper 5th gen (stealth capabilities or, at very least, reduced radar signature is a requirement after all) would make it easier to model, so Gaijin wouldn’t need to invent whole new system for it

this is definitely a plot to get someone to leak actual f22 data just to prove this dude wrong

No, the MiG-1.44 was developed when stealth was very new and nobody really had any idea of how it worked.
The Su-35 and MiG-1.44 use the same engines
I can see straight through that
EDIT: Meant to say Su -35 not Su-34 sorry
