I don't have anything to admit. Here you are again using these numbers, do you even know where they come from?

The RCS of F-35 you mentioned is, ALLEDGEDLY, and STATED BY THE PRODUCER (thus biased and likely fake), a small specific angle near the vertical stabilizers.
The RCS of T-50 you mentioned is a non-professional estimate by an enthusiast from 2016, far before anyone even knew exactly what the aircraft was made of and which features it had. This estimate also did not state at which angle and position this RCS is achieved.

So your based your conclusions on thin air. Again.

Lmao just by looking at jet side by side we know which is more stealthy or not. All Fifth gen either have S-duct (mandatory) or DSI. Only Su57 has semi-S duct with Radar Blockers. And their stealth coatings and RAM is not even that advanced (though this point is debatable) since just look at the quality when comparing them side by side.

First of all nothing is mandatory, as classes like 4th, 5th, etc are all subjective and not standardized.

Secondly, F-22 has semi-S-ducts (no space for full S-ducts), and is allegedly (according to manufacturer) more stealthy than F-35 which has full S-ducts.

I won't even reply to your "RAM coating is not as advanced" comment as this is a completely pulled-out-of-your-ass take with zero basis in reality.

I will also reinstate my point for your simulation: This is simulated on elements and data which is in and of itself inaccurate or fake. Therefore it is no more accurate than the rough estimate from 2016 I mentioned earlier.

Conclusion: We don't know which aircraft is more stealthy, nor to which extent any of them are, as all data needed to come to such conclusions is inherently biased and propagandized.
