Beyond Visual Range the Indian quest for a stealth aircraft

.
Isn’t it true that the F 22 has never been tested...
No, it is not true. In radar detection, a track is as good as a bullet. So the F-22 have been tested many times over.

and the Serbs shot down a F 117 using similar X band radars...
NATO flew over 30 THOUSANDS sorties and lost only two aircrafts: one F-16 and one F-117. How does that qualify as a 'defeat' of 'stealth'? That is not an air defense combat record to boast about.

After Russia introduced the low band radars, especially operating in the VHF band isn’t it now possible to detect and shoot down any stealth fighter before they can do any damage.
No it is still extremely difficult. Long wavelengths in the HF/VHF/UHF bands have very poor target resolutions: altitude, speed, aspect angle, and heading. So poor that targeting radars have to use the ghz X-band, which lead us back to square one.

Did whoever wrote that crap did any research?

india and indigenous stealth fighter? Lol
I am extremely grateful for your deep and knowledgeable insight into Indian R & D processes, manufacturing processes, deadlines, and economics related. There may never be another like you..........:agree:
