“In fact, when in full stealth configuration it can detect the F-22 from 100 miles, while remaining undetected. “

That’s a lie.

The F-35 uses the same radar modules as the F-22, but the F-22 has a 20% larger radar area and modules which equal more power and detection. The F-22 is also much more stealthy than the F-35. This means the F-22 can detect the F-35 long before the F-35 can detect the F-22.

Look up the AN/APG-77 (F-22) and AN/APG-81 (F-35) radars.

I am referencing IRST detection.

Not radar.

Granted, this is a big rocket, but it’s 800 miles away:

DAS with the Advanced EOTS is formidable, and best in the air.

Better distance than some airborne radars.
