Hrm, then it sounds like it wasn't nearly as "stealthy" as they hoped...

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, you see, this is just how amazing Russian AA missiles are!

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Aren't engine exhausts like that highly counterproductive for stealth aircraft? Are they still stuck with their same engine they used on their fighter jets that also caused them to have stealth issues?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's immensely noticeable on radar. That giant round engine is going to stick out like a sore thumb on radar and IR.

There was one built with a flat nozzle in 2021, so uh, guess this was the first one of the two

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 11 points 2 years ago

You see Ivan, it was not visible on our radars, and as you know, we don't have the technology to not be on the radar. Thus, it must've been the enemy!

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Maybe that was the point? They checked how easy it was to be detected by an anti aircraft missile?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Expensive way to check.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Those orcs waste so many resources on dumb stuff, so many... It somehow became their signature move in the 21st century.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why would they do that over Ukraine?

[–] modeler@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

If the Russian missile fails, it will automatically be tested against western radars and anti-aircraft missiles.

[–] fuckingkangaroos@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I suspect they shot it down because they lost control and it was heading towards Ukrainian airspace

The one and only! The mighty! Su-70!

Oh shit where is it?

This is a carjack!

No actually this is a Su-70 and my name is not Jack?
