ELI5 Fighter Jet Radar Cross Section Comparison.😱



JF-17 has a 3 m² radar cross section since it wasn’t meant to be a stealth fighter.

Russia’s Su-57, based on public figures has a radar cross section in the ~0.5 m² to 1 m² range. From some angles and with additional stealth upgrades it can go even lower. However, stealth was never the primary focus.

Tejas Mk1A has a 0.5m² RCS. Real figures are actually lower and only known to MoD.

How does mounting external missiles affect a fighter jet’s radar signature?
It increases the cross section and the jet appears larger on radar screen.

  1. Name your fav jet if RCS isn't important. Mine is Su-27 for its curves.😍

  2. Lololol!!!
    India's Tejas, which is a 4th gen fighter jet, has a smaller RCS than SU-57 which is a 5th gen fighter jet and Tejas wasn't even designed with stealth in mind. 😅😅😅

    “IS IT HOSTILE?”
    “It just did a barrel roll and flipped us off.”
