rommel said:u don't need stealth with AIM-54C Phoenix... u got so much of range that u can destroy the ennemy plane before even entering the other firing range. It's powerful radar make it as good as a small AWAC, so it could even detec some stealth plane, i think.
To detect stealth planes, you have to use triangulation. In other words, you need to have two or more radars directed in the direction of the plane coming from two different angles at the same time in other to notice a stealth fighter.
I have heard that Iran used F-14s as mini-AWACs in the Iran-Iraq war. Would it be possible for China to do the same with the J-8II or Russia with the Mig-31?
