did you even read my message? i said 5th generation fighters cant use BVR missiles against each others.. as they will only find each others based on thermal signature when they are close to each other... That is the reason, every country develop their own 5th generation twin engine fighter as the maneuverability will be very important..
You think a 40,000+ lb F-22 made of aluminium, titanium is difficult to find by radar? I don't think so.
The high performance capabilities of the F-22 requires the significant use of titanium (42 % of all structural materials by weight)

Even WW2 era radar can spot an F-22 from a hundred miles away.
