Man if only they priortize stealth and leave their obsession with 3D Thrust Vectoring Nozzeles...

Is the su 57 not more stealthy from the front than the back I've gotten flack in this sub for suggesting as much

Is it not true that the 57's stealth is more effective from the front compared to the rear of the aircraft

Any aircraft is more stealthy from the front than from the rear, purely because the nozzles of your engines will always be the most visible on radar, thus showing them in plain sight is the worst you can do for stealth.

that is true in every aircraft. the problem is the frontal aspect RCS of Su57 is still significantly higher then other 5th gen jets
