Might be wrong but RCS of Rafeal is .01 and Typhoon is .001.
A clean Rafale or Typhoon might get down to 1m if it is very lucky. Put external weapons and external fuel tanks and its RCS will go to 2-5m depending on the load.
Less than 1m RCS requires internal weapons and a from scratch stealth design... the PAK FA and F-22 and F-35 will be in the 0.5-0.1m RCS range if we are talking average and not peak... and peak is meaningless.
Am really SICK of China stealing and copying technologies all around. Vrs Russia, they do it openly.
If you are behind you can take a leap forward by copying, but you need to develop a culture that just uses copying as a means to learn the fundamentals so you can grow and design your own based on your own talent.
Everyone copies, but most are copying themselves... ie building on the achievements of their predecessors.
if Russia gets into war with US, all AC's of USN will have to be sunk.
US carrier goups in the south atlantic are no threat to Russia and don't need to be sunk...
Right now US is playing nice guys pretty much.
Against countries like Afghanistan and Iraq their uber expensive F-35s and F-22s would offer no performance advantage over the legasy aircraft they actually used that cost a fraction of the new more expensive aircraft.
In fact the legasy aircraft could probably carry much heavier payloads over greater distances.
Of course a US attack on Iran could easily result in Iran giving away MANPADS and ATGMs over its borders with Afghanistan and Iraq and the result will be suddenly very painful for US forces in both countries as helicopter transport is preferred in both countries to evade IEDs. Hundreds or thousands of MANPADS cannot be stopped by air power, and will make helicopter transport impossible so the two alternatives is trucks... which would be vulnerable to IED attack and ATGM attack, and the other option... to leave.
So a small chance to slightly damage Iran will result in total loss in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus most likely the Iranian government will realise there is no chance the IAEA will let it continue with nuclear civilian power development so it will need to go it alone... and if it is going it alone it might as well start developing nuclear weapons so it can defend itself... In other words it will make things much worse for the US.
If the US had supported the Vietnamese against the French colonial rule then the North would likely never have had to turn to the Soviet Union for help. If the US had supported Castro throwing out the American Mob and the white european land owners that owned all the sugar cane fields and kept the local cubans as plantation workers and butlers/slaves, then he would not have needed to turn to the Soviet Union for help. Castro was a Nationalist who wanted to move the cuban people away from slavery to their colonial masters and into positions of power.
If the US had helped him there would never have been a communist cuba.
There are plenty of countries in central and south and even north america where the natives are called indians who are generally poor and looked down upon by the generally white colonial powers generally from Europe... spanish, portugues, and even french and british.
Hugo Chavez is not a communist, but his nationalist ideas that native Venezuelans should get more benefit from the oil under the ground there, so that the majority of poor natives can get the benefits that would otherwise go to the already rich landowners who already have power and money. Th CIA didn't try to overthrow Chavez because he is a communist, they tried to overthrow him because their best friends are the white rich people of european descent that colonised the region and are busy pinching all its resources.
Regarding the bombings during WWII the reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen as targets for the nukes was because they had no military value and had been left largely untouched by bombers. They selected them because there was a maximum number of innocent civilians to kill, rather than any military purpose.
It should be kept in mind that unlike Dresden, in both Japanese cities there was little understanding about radiation and as soon as the war ended the US military swooped in and investigated the effects of their handiwork because a good understanding of what happens in a nuclear attack on a populated area and the subsequent deaths is useful for their future planning for future nuclear wars. After the attacks about three times the number killed in the initial blasts died from exposure to radiation in each case, so in both cases we are talking about more Japanese civilians being killed than American forces killed in the whole war.
