and Su-35 tracked F-22 so what?
BTW didnt IAF cancel FGFA deal because of poor performance too?
The difference is the J-20 was picked up by radar at extreme range, the F-22 was picked up by optics much closer.
I'd appreciate sources,I've never heard about that. BTW Rafale has canards.
Announced French aircraft have not been registered by the Russian air defence systems.

French MoD infographic shows it going right over our AD zone.
and what's wrong with that? stealth is not main requirement for vgen fighters in US. ISnt it?
If you want to create a VLO fighter there is plenty wrong with that.
That's from Airbus presentation.
Airbus was not selected as prime contractor but Dassault and this is their design.
B2 is perfect example to prove you're wrong.
B2 is subsonic what is unacceptable for a fighter.
B2 with its size and W/T = 0,2 and is not able to maneuver. Mind that all delta UCAVs ar low speed,not maneuverable. With supersonic your observability falls drastically.
Regardless the two 6th gen stealth fighter designs from Boeing and Dassault have no canards or tailfins. They are getting as close to a flying wing as a fighter possibly can be. It is the stealthiest design out there.
