Zubu Brothers is okay.
That's news to me. I was still active duty then, and I don't remember that being so. The older the radar system, the stealthier it was. The Iraqis had plenty of old Soviet radar and didn't see it unless they went outside and looked with their own eyes.
Do you have a source?
Gotcha...thanks for the ZH/FR update.
Radar might not be able to lock on for targeting, but even an intermittent return would be enough to vector fighters close enough to get a lock on.
“The second prototype, however, was a success, proving for all practical purposes its invisibility to radar. It showed at most a low-intensity, nebulous radar sparkle that was nearly indistinguishable on a radar scope from background noise until the aircraft was well within a ground missile’s minimum launch range. Only the massive airborne antenna of the Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS (airborne warning and control system) and some ground-based low-frequency and very-high-frequency radars had success detecting it, but because of their large antennas the latter two are unsuitable for battlefield use.”
Thanks.
I don’t think that is the equivalent of “showing up like a sore thumb.”
Maybe more like a nebulous back ache.
That’s right. They will be loitering high above school board meeting all around the country.
