Oh no man. Its invisible. Don't you know ? That's what stealth is. Its achieving invisibility. Just joking.
But that's what most ppl, especially USA stronks think. They think that the F-22 is invisible to radar (stealth) and the su 57 has X Y or Z not like the F-22, therefore its not invisible and not stealth. Like a 4th gen.
The truth obviously is, that stealth means making an object appear as small as it can relative to the size that it is.
nothing can totally hide from electromagnetic waves but reduce RCS, US not claiming that F-22 is invisible to radar but you're just assuming stronk

It has a reduce RCS which means opponent can see F-22 lot later on the sensors ( radar, IR RWR and on electro optical senors) , for example if F-16/F-15 detected 120-150 km range than F-22 can detect more than half of this range but its too late for enemy to react, F-22 fires it BVR to target and game finished for the enemy

look at your Beloved Su-57 it has less RCS reduction features than F-22,
1) it has engine fan blade exposed to radar with increased RCS from front

2) it has IRST in front which also gives the extra radar return

3) it has a cockpit bracing which also increases radar return

![Wink ;) ;)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.gif)
4) it has a LEVCON which gives extra surface to radar

5) Engine is totally expose to radar, IR sensors because it has no LOAN type nozzle that is on F-22 that reduces IR signature from behind

Your picture shows that Su-35 capture this image when F-22 was within the range of visual range of Su-35, if there was fight between F-22 and Su-35 within visual range your beloved Su-35 had been long gone because F-22 can detect Su-35 earlier and destroyed Su-35 before
