  1. The commander of the battery himself said the modifications were minimal in interviews. Turning off radars isn't a away to increase effectiveness against stealth, it's to throw off HARMs. Which doesn't work anymore, because HARMs now save the last known position of the radar in their internal memory.

  2. "iLlEgAl" bro name the law that was broken Shame is thinking you're hard for downing a F-117 when the remainder of the fleet still dropped bombs and forced Milosevic to concede.

  3. Then Serbia kept getting bombed and Milosevic gave us what we wanted in the first place.

  4. Depleted uranium is used in cannon rounds, not bombs.

  8. The S-500 is an anti ballistic system. Not a S-400 upgrade.

  11. ​ @kresbes7240  Radar silence is not systematic defense, it's letting bombers through lol

  12. ​ @jamiegray6931  the win rate is that every time radars are shut down, the bombers get through. HARMs are consumables, if they coerce the air defenses into shutting down, job is done. The strike package will hit the target and air defense fails their mission by refusing to defend the air space.

  13. Which tail number?

  14. ​ @РемиБоняшки  Shape and structure is the most important aspect. Regular fighters have received stealth materials and it only causes slight reduction.

  15. Have Blue is 70s technology.

  17. Shutting down a radar to avoid HARMs isn't an achievment. Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses is meant to do that. If air defense wants to survive, they can. They'll just be allowing soldiers and high ranking officers to die instead.

  18. Worth nothing that when Vietnam got S-75s their AAA kills increased because American pilots started flying lower to avoid radar SAMs. Flying higher doesn't hide from radar.

  21. ​ @zarjesve2  But it didn't. The F-117 retired around 2007-2008. It actually retired after the F-14 Tomcat.
