For those wondering, that is a american F-35A in the picture.
Edit: Also why do people assume stealth means invisable, there not the same thing.

Knowing the Chinese tendency to
liemassage the truth this thing is probably only radar transparent in one frequency and lit up like a beacon in all other frequencies.subverted_per@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
Well yeah, that was my first thought. They coat a part of the plane with a radioactive isotope. It would have to be a lot of the stuff to ionize enough air around the part to hide it from radar. Considering that the plane is flying, and the air around it doesn't sit still I would guess that in certain frequencies it would be bright as the sun. If this thing works as stated I wouldn't get close to that thing without a decent amount of concrete between us.

Who wants to volunteer to pilot the cancer plane?

It's like the Voyager episode, when the plane stops two lizards crawl out and mate in a nearby pond
