For the U.S., our definition of stealth is a reduction in radar cross-section greater than 90%.
So it has to be 90% smaller.
In fact, the stealthiest, by definition, aircraft in the world is the B-2 Spirit, the stealth bomber, because it's 153 feet wide and it shows up roughly the size of a sparrow.
on radar.
Yes.
The total size on radar returns.
They said 99.9.
It's a pigeon.
So for other countries, so when you compare like so America's fifth gen, you know, our premier fifth gen, the F-22 came out in 94, 96, I think it was in the 90s.
And it has a radar cross section roughly the size of a bumblebee.
So if you see a bumblebee pulling Mach 2.2.
Natural.
A little suspicious.
It's a little suspicious.
Like there's a bumblebee on my screen hauling ass.
And that's if you get a return.
So that's how big that is.
the J 20, which is their Chinese, uh, fifth gen is roughly a hundred times larger on radar cross section.
So take that size of a bumblebee, which is 0.0002 meters squared.
A hundred times more than that is what 0.02 meters square or something like that.
