@UnwantedBlog For me it’s hard to tell because faceted stealthy housing might be useful if you also test RCS of the plane during bombing test operations and regular rounds shape housing could just spoof all of RCS data.
@ThrustWR Pfft. This already happened with the F-117, when after climate testing it suffered damage to the exhaust and engine, after which the entire exhaust section was replaced.
@Nick_Stevens_Gr Sometimes I use this https://t.co/ekQNTrsrhW to get something like this. Still arty but sometimes the result is much clearer and good enough for me
@Nick_Stevens_Gr Perhaps. Looks logical and also it could be checked with LEM real numbers but also we should keep in mind that when that picture has been made, soviets probably didn’t knew exact numbers and could had only estimations and open source data at the time
