Good point.Really good point.Last week fox history was showing the EFT.The engineer told that infrared signature can be reduced upto 40 percent by shaping the engine nosels.Same thing can be applied to MKIs.But no matter how much you try the exhaust fume of the turbofan engines can be reduced only to a certain extent and still be a 'testy' arget for latest FLIR devices like russian OLS 50 and imagaging infrared homing AAMs like ASRAAM which are virtually jam proof.Only things you can do is to use a powerful EWS and an AESA radar that has a peak power of 30kw so that by consentrating the energy to a missile to hopefuly disable it.

Wow. I didn't know that they are working on an F-18 that way
But still, for an aircraft to be 'stealth', it has to designed from scratch.
Some of the key factors for the design of a stealth aircraft are:
-Shaping
-Coatings and absorbers
-High temperature coatings
-Component design
-Reducing infrared radiation
Addressing many of those factors require a completely new design. The modifications on the F-15 SE and this F-18 don't necessarily qualify as 'stealth'.
My opinion though.
angeldemon_007 There was no need to create a new the thread. We have already discussed on this issue. Also since you have asked said:I did not know about old once that it was discussed. perhaps its going to give more details.
It might be possible to reduce the SU-30's RCS though modifications similar to the F-15 Silent Eagle. But certainly not 'stealth'.
For aircraft to be 'stealthy', it has to be designed from scratch. More feasible to wait for the FGFA.

can someone add this photo i m unable to do wiith mobile.
What Mr Vibs tried to say that if your fighter has an onboard AESA radar powerful enough(atleast a peakpower of 30kilo watt)then you can fry the opponent's electronics by concentrating your AESA beam towards the enemy fighter.He should have used the word 'fry' rather than 'jam'.
The F 22Raptor can do this with its AESA radar whibh has over 2000 GaN t/r modules.Check their website.

and you know this Because? do you work at Boeing?F-15 isn't stealth at all, its just a low observable aircraft. It'll have a RCS of around 1-2 sq meters.
I begg to differ, a Powerful LPI AESA Radar Jammer can and has been able to Jam even the most deadly Air fighter ever built(F-22) keep in mind it uses one the most advance AESA Radars...Jammers can't jam AESA radars. So RCS reduction is indeed necessary.
F-18 or the Cobra platform was built from the ground up to have stealthy canted vertical stabilizers... and the Growler type has supperior jammers...Wow. I didn't know that they are working on an F-18 that way
and you know this Because? do you work at Boeing?
the Silent Eagle does have frontal RCS of export variants of F-35 which is beyond anything Russia can come up today...
And I beg to differ.I begg to differ,...
No such thing. There is no such thing as an 'LPI AESA Radar Jammer'....a Powerful LPI AESA Radar Jammer...
There is something called the 'home on jam' feature that will zero in on the direction of the jamming signals....can and has been able to Jam even the most deadly Air fighter ever built(F-22) keep in mind it uses one the most advance AESA Radars...
The Growler advance Jammers were able to keep the F-22 from getting a lock on him making the Growler the first ever Active(no passive lie RAM) stealth Air Craft ever
