      OMG you’re right. Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me, and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all that I am.

      I cannot live with such a mistake. I shall eject out of a tu-22 below 1000ft.

      (My point still stands tho)

        Again.

        (To answer your question, detachable Luneburg lenses increase radar reflection. These can be quickly removed if need be)

            The planes have extra radar reflecting thingies bolted on that make them show up real good on radar so the true radar signature is obscured (also a good idea for air traffic safety reasons), but they can be quickly removed for combat.

              I figured that was the case, essentially enemy aircraft can’t profile them while they are installed and near each other
