Those esstimates are from Bharat Rakshak and totally wrong. A Mig-21 with RAM treatment had a rcs of just 0.25m2 and the very un-stealthy SU-47 had a rcs of 0.3m2. The primary means of reducing an aircrafts' rcs is shaping, neither the Mig-21, nor the SU-47 had any 'stealth' shaping. The question is, how does an aircraft such as the PAK-FA which has 'stealth' shaping end up having a bigger rcs than both the Mig-21 and the SU-47? Anyone that beleives the PAK-FA will have anything close to 0.5m2 is extreemly gullible and naive, esspecially when the PAK-FA is in the prototype stage. But if you want to beleive a blogger be my guest.
Kewl...So what's your thought on how stealthy this plane would be?? I am asking this because Pakistani members did agree that there are not enough counter measures for planes like Raptor and there were lot of suggestions that FGFA is not going to be stealthy as compared to Raptor....
I know this would have been discussed in length so you can even point me to a relevant thread...All i am interested in knowing the best educated guess since specs are not yet out...
