That is a myth
Indian claim:
However, that part belongs to Mig-21
Indian tweet claims this:
But unfortunately for them, all Pakistan F-16 use F-100PW229 and F-100PW200 engine
Not really, like i said earlier, data link been around for a while but stealth data link is recent.
Gripen TIDLS is an encrypted datalink that link four aircraft, but it's stealth characteristics is not even close to that of MADL.
TIDS still uses UHF band (0.3-3 Ghz) to transmit information...
Information about F-35 nozzle are available, including pattern

I agree...
F-35 uses higher bypass engine so the plume radiance is lower than low bypass engine
The spikes design of F-35's nozzle (LOAN nozzle) reduce exhaust length
And finally, the nozzle has internal pipes to lead cooling air
There isn't anything bias about pointing out the size difference between RBE-2 and APG-81, APG-82 or that F-35 has smaller RCS.
I didn't brush off benefit of intangible treatment. I simply point out the very obvious fact that there isn't any generation difference between RBE-2 and APG-82, and...
Iam not talking about RCS but purely about radar ability to detect an object at distance. Physics will favor bigger radar. Even a very large generation gap in technology can be balanced/countered by the sheer size alone. Not to mention that if there is any technology gap between RBE-2 and...
More modern system can be more efficient and powerful than an old system that has similar size or a bit bigger. But technology has its limit, even the newest F-16's AESA radar such as APG-80 or APG-83 still have much shorter range than Mig-31's PESA radar aka Zaslon-M. Because Zaslon-M is...
