Para enpezar el f-22 tiene un radar en ku band no en banda x,como muchos sabreis el el primer radar banda ku,solo algunos cazas tienen capacidades de detectarlo con el rwr,quiero decir con esto que un f-16 de los 80 no puede porque tecnicamente no existian rwr en aquella epoca con capacidad para esas bandas,efa y rafale si pueden detectarlo de hecho dejare una anecdota.
Esto le permite tener un stealth o rcs incluso en el radome(cono de radar) de la canica porque no usa la banda x tradicional y puede usar un ram bypass(absorve microondas hasta banda x y deja pasar la ku band)su vulnerabilidad en el rcs de la canica es que su enemigo juegue con la misma banda ku.........las ondas de banda ku atraviesan el radome y llegan al mismisimo rpg-77 inpactando y creando el eco radar de vuelta.......por lo tanto a banda KU la misma en la que funciona el f-22 podemos decir que frontalmente el rcs no es de canica ......es de bastante mas que un balon de baloncesto a medio metro cuadrado,si su enemigo tanto terrestre(antiaereos,bases de misisles) como aereo(cualquier caza equipado con radar banda ku) decide usar definitivamente la banda ku........el f-22 es detectable a muchisima mas distancia.......la cuestion es que los unicos interesados en querer hacer eso son rusia,china,india,paises islamicos,con el f-35 es exactamente igual.

“Eurofighter Slays’Em!
I remember reading around two years ago about the prowess of Eurofighter over other aircraft. Well, this anecdote will probably ‘get out’ one day and concerns the visit to these shores in July of Indian Air Force Su-30s. The MoD said that it would not be putting Typhoons up against them as a one-on-one fight. This is general knowledge. However - it did happen and there is Head Up Display video to prove it. I don’t know how it came about - probably during some exercise.
Anyway, two relatively inexperienced Typhoon pilots returned with big grins on their faces. The Sukhois were ‘toasted’. All the Su-30’s air display antics came to nought - the Typhoons proved too nimble and too powerful for the Russian aircraft. The Typhoons were not ‘clean’ either. You can check with the MoD, but you probably already know the kind of answer you’ll get! (We did, and they wouldn’t - Editor).
The original article resulted in several letters of response about Typhoon versus the F-22. This cannot be confirmed or admitted officially, but during Typhoon’s visit to the USA in 2005, both aircraft were pitted against each other (unofficially, you understand). The F-22 could not be seen by the Typhoon pilot, but his electronic counter measures showed him that it was being ‘painted’ by his opponent. The Typhoon took appropriate ‘measures’ using self-defensive aids. But when it came to one-on-one combat, the Typhoon did the same kind of job as it did with the Sukhois. The F-22s could not ‘handle’ Typhoon close in and the Yanks were shocked!
It did not all go Typhoon’s way on this occasion but it was a sobering encounter for the Americans. Remember, on the F-22 much was sacrificed in terms of ‘fighter performance’ for stealth.
The first part of this letter, regarding the Sukhois, I have from first-hand experience, through the second part - about the F-22s - has come to me through the Typhoon grapevine. Fascinating, isn’t it? The Typhoon does appear to be a truly formidable machine - a machine feared by ‘other’ operators.

Through still a relatively immature platform, Typhoon has already proved to be a hard opponent to beat, so that when a two-seat trainer was bounced by two F-15s during an operational conversion sortie, the Typhoon pilot was easily able to outmanoeuvre his assailants and position himself for a simulated ‘kill’ against both. More recently, there have been repeated reports that two RAF Typhoons deployed to the US for OEU trials work have been flying against the F-22 at NAS China Lake, and have performed better than was expected. There was little surprise that Typhoon, with its world-class agility and high off-boresight missile capability was able to dominate the ‘Within Visual Range’ fight, but the aircraft did cause a surprise by getting a radar lock on the F-22 at a surprisingly long range. The F-22s reportedly cried off, claiming that they were ‘unstealthed’ anyway, although the next day’s scheduled two versus two BVR engagement was cancelled, and “the USAF decided that they didn’t want to play anymore”. When this incident was reported on a website frequented by front-line RAF aircrew a senior RAF officer urged an end to the conversation on security grounds.

Basicamente dice que el efa
detecto en su rwr la iluminacion del f-22 y su radar apg-77(super LPI)y que esto le permite tener una imagen del enemigo en un lugar especifico a donde poder dirigir sus sensores,que el sistema de contramedidas actuo correctamente aunque no perfectamente,que el
r lo gana el efa y el bvr lo gana el f-22 pero con poca diferencia sobre todo si el combate es evolucionate,esto es la puntilla que paraliza el f-22,si es el mejor pero poco mas mejor,con efa no tendria los resultados que hizo con el f-16,el efa puede detecta sus emisiones de radar y ademas informa al resto automaticamente
por eso en combate evolucionante y en numeros no da el resultado esperado.
Efa debido a la potencia de radar detecta al f-22 con o sin ayuda de los demas EFA en combate
r,pero ademas sus misiles IR al ser externos colaboran como sensores de busqueda,por lo tanto el f-22 lleva las de perder pues son muchos sensores(radar,rwr,IRST,IR MISILES).
En bvr si lleva la delantera en el primer paso pero en solitario mas bien por poco debido fundamentalmente a su stealth pero cuando su enemigo detecta el radar y tienen localizacion y puede focalizar sus sensores a las zonas,su ventaja se acorta enormemente.
Respecto al piloto del f-22 que fallecio recientemente estaba probando nuevo armamento para el f-22,la primera y segunda prueba a 22000 pies y 1,6 mach,despues reposto en vuelo la tercera prueba y en 4 segundos(despiste del piloto segun dicen) y con el morro a 80 grados
bajo a 16000,despues tiro de la palanca y consiguio enderazar el caza a 56 grados y 6000 pies(3000 pies sobre el suelo),eyectandose del caza a una velocidad de 1,3 mach que lo mato pues supero la velocidad maxima del asiento eyectable en 165 nudos,parece que una puerta de la bodega de armas se abria sin control del piloto. Saludos
