Myths about the Su-57

  Truth about the Su-57 Felon Introduction   Okay I'm going to dispel the myth that the Su-57 isn't stealth or 5th gen. There are several parts.  Intro F-117 Incident  Stealth Technology  Top 24 Myths about Felon RCS Numbers  F22 & F35 Vs Su-57  Weaknesses of Stealth Aircraft  Conclusion  This is based on over 30 hours of research, as well as several different scattering simulations.  Sources are tied to each part instead of listed at end.  F-117 Incident The minimum RCS the SNR-125M fire control radar can lock on relative to the RCS minimum of F-117, which was 0.2m² minimum required for lock on at any distance and RCS minimum of 0.005m² means its average was likely several decimal points higher. Of Course we take into account this was old stealth technology and the fact it had cueing from P-18.  It was detected because the RCS whilst having a minimum of ~0.005m², based on the fact it's an older design and current radar sim...
