Irrelevant, as It is not related to sustained flight at high angle of attack which I brought up in relation to the J-20.
In your own words, the necessity of installing extra radars would be a compromise. Those radars exist because Su-35 cannot see aircraft such as the F-22 at the range that F-22 can detect the Su-35.
UHF radar is only useful for detection. It cannot be used for fire control purposes. Nothing defeats stealth better than stealth itself.
No, it is not, kolokol is relevant specially when you claimed the J-20 was chosen because it proved to be superior over the SAC design, it is just conviniently for you to claim is irrelevant.
Is it irrelevant?
Only if the J-20 either uses TVC nozzles or HMS and higly offbored missiles.
Today`s S-400 SAM use a radar system similar to what Su-35S or T-50 use, a mixture of 3 or 5 radars, a main radar on the radome and 2 or 4 auxilairy radars on the wings, and the range of interception is in the range of 400km for football target size RCS flying supersonic in the case of S-400 SAMs
see
another detail UHF radars can track targets and modern ones claim to be effective for tracking stealth fighters
see
plus another detail stealth aircraft use bowtie of pacman radar signature management , which means the stealth aircraft still reflects radar waves that can be detected by radars possitioned at 30 deg from the Stealth aircraft main longitudinal axis.
According to Laurie Hilditch, Eurofighter's head of future requirements capture, the F-35's frontal-aspect stealth can be defeated by stationing interceptors and AWACS at a 25º to 30º angle to the F-35's most likely approach path to a target.
In fact J-20 needs to be stealth just because today`s radars have become so effective even to detect VLO like J-20
