F-22 is a stealth plane and its rumored RCS is 0.10 to 0.01 far far below Flanker's. No wonder it took almost 2 decades for even US to develop such a fighter
You are right. There is a "Stealth" button inside the cockpit of the -22. When you press it, the plane flying infront of a naked eye disappears. That's how stealthy it is. I don't know anyone else who could even get to this level . All joking aside. The reality is, if I tossed two Dimes way up in the air with very sophisticated radars monitoring active and in passive configuration, and there was a -22 flying a few hundred meters away from my two coins up in the air at the same time, on the radar screen, the cross section will be the same for all three (two Dimes and a -22!!!!). So really, instead of seeing a plane's cross section, the radar would show a cross section of three coins back on the monitor. Who's going to beat that ? The -22, IMO, should be the 9th or the 13th wonder of the world (whichever number is applicable in 2016).
