Closest I've been able to find is some German using passive radar to locate an F-35 at an airshow. Never mind that an F-35 would mount Luneburg lenses for safety at an airshow or the fact that the system was still only accurate to about a square kilometer.

should also be noted that neurodivergence is basically a requirement to be hired by SAAB as an engineer, so whatever their solution is its most likely weird as frick
So let me get this straight, a single nighthawk got shot down with its bomb bay doors open, flying the same path over and over again and you drew the conclusion that stealth is a meme because of that? If only that downing could be attributed to complacency

>what is, IRST?
a considerably shorter range system for detecting aircraft compared to radar that uses emissions that stealth aircraft are also designed to minimize. What's your point?
i feel ilke every time i see this serbian cope poster theres another nighthawk x'd out, redpill me on the serbian operatives shooting down nighthawks in nevada
Serbia is that team that loses every single game of the tournament, but they eventually score one goal (in a game they still lost) and tear up the goalposts and parade around with them for 30 years
>led him to an early retirement
It stayed in service almost a decade beyond that point and even then it's still flying for secret projects and aggressor training. The F-14 retired before the F-117 and none was shot down by Serbs, where's the logic in that?
F-117s are still flying as stealth aggressors and testbed aircraft, and it was retired because newer aircraft were better at it's job and easier to maintain. But go off about how Kosovo is totally Serbia, I'm sure that'll un-bomb Belgrade.
>Design stealth fighter using 70s computers and low poly wireframe models >It's still stealthy enough to serve as a stand-in for other nations "stealth" aircraft over 40 years later
how do they do it?
It isn't about being invisible it's about making it harder to track with old systems.
If your wavelength is too long you aren't seeing shit, if your software filters small returns you aren't seeing shit, if you don't have the excess processing power to get the speed of every bird it's not just a software fix.
Could China lock it?
Yes.
Could the US lock it?
Yes.
Could the rest of the world running 30yo radars with small military budgets?
Probably not.
When to solution to the problem you created for the enemy is to spend billions of dollars a lot of your enemies can't afford the solution.
>700 surface to air missiles fired >2 hits
50s tech f104's flew sorties and they couldnt even hit them, did they mix them up and thought f104 was the stealthy one?
The eternal Sw*de was annoyed that Finland chose the F-35 over the Gripen. Because Swedes are not particularly good at anything other than being middle managers, they tasked their Finnish subsidiary with the actual development work. The superior Finn with his mighty intellect and ancient wisdom then delivered a most effective stealth busting product, as tends to be when you task them with such trivial work.
Yeah

Swedes are known to have very good eyesight.
F-35 do show up on radar, but their radar surface is very small which makes them hard to differentiate from other small objects, like bird.
SAAB probably uses software to track each individual object and then decide what it is depending on behaviour.
>sir that bird just entered our airspace
>going 840 miles per hour
>well it's just a birb leave it alone derp
That bird is launching several smaller birds at us traveling way faster
well you had better fill up the bird feeder with more seed those birbs will be hungry when they get here herpa derp
I appreciate you, anon

Salvaged hyperwar tech
stealth is a meme
even the peak stealth design got detected by ww2 radars
So let me get this straight, a single nighthawk got shot down with its bomb bay doors open, flying the same path over and over again and you drew the conclusion that stealth is a meme because of that? If only that downing could be attributed to complacency

what is, IRST?
The F-117 had a lot of thought put into minimizing IR.
>what is, IRST?
a considerably shorter range system for detecting aircraft compared to radar that uses emissions that stealth aircraft are also designed to minimize. What's your point?
Cope.
And TWO nighthawks were hit in Serbia, not one.
If stealth is such a meme why didnt the bombing cease?
Out of how many sorties?
moron. There is a big difference between spotting something and getting a lock that's of any use

Except that “goal” ruined the reputation of the multi-billion dollar goalie and led him to an early retirement
wut? last time I checked nato airpower continued to ruthlessly pound serbian bussy

UFO tech.
(Unironic answer is by braindraining the rest of the world by offering high salaries and excellent universities like MIT)
you lost

I desire to turn bombing Serbia into an Olympic sport.
Would that fall under the Summer or Winter Olympics? Would Serbia be allowed to compete??

Meanwhile, what about the bombings?
what do you think the S in SEAD stands for?

Not what I expected to see when I woke up this morning
F35 has a sexy belly. That's all I care about.
Sexoo
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH IM FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGGGGG COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMING
