General: Here's a training scenario. It's really hard.

Major: Ok cool. We'll do it with 4 aircraft.

General: Uh, you sure about that?  I'll let you use more...the Commandant is watching.

Major: No worries, we got this.  Heck, we'll only load 2 of them fully with bombs too.

 

Heh.

A presentation by a Russian expert on the F-35 and PAK-FA:

 

The commentator seems very skeptical of LPI (low probability of intercept) techniques for radar and insists that as soon as it turns on its active sensors, a stealth fighter is no longer stealthy.  I am curious why; the idea behind LPI is fairly straightforward and at the very least theoretically sound.  The radar (which has to be AESA to do this) spreads out its emission energy onto multiple, random frequencies instead of using only a single frequency.  The total energy output is still high enough to get a clear picture, but to a radar warning receiver it doesn't look like a radar signal, it looks like random noise.  This, combined with the AESA's extremely precise and rapid beam steering means that hostile ECM will have a hard time determining that it is being pinged.
