According to Yankee when he consulted some on the matter he was surprised that the RCS had "several zeroes after the decimal point" than he had expected for optimized angles.
do you remember the podcast on this one? I can see the frontal RCS be quite low.

Does Yankeesama do podcasts? As for the RCS, I can see it be low from the front, from the back, from the sides, from every which angle unless the radar face is directly parallel to a surface.

Yeah this doesn’t shock me. China’s RF based material design should be pretty world class at this point, given that it’s also a critical point of innovation for telecoms, and we know where they’re at with that tech base.

There is some obvious issues from the back.

Yankee does podcast with Shilao sometimes.

There is no blocker inside of the nozzle. F-35 and F-22 have those.
Ah, I see. When people say there's a problem with the J-20's rear, I assume they mean the planform. Hopefully there'll be blockers in the WS-15.

Overall, we're nitpicking here somewhat. Even in its current configuration, a plane would have to be directly behind a J-20 to get returns from the engine interior. Either this is happening WVR and stealth is already out of the window or it's a hell of a stroke of luck in BVR. Forget about SAM radar ever exploiting this.

Here is one where they are just chatting about JF-17, Golden Helmet, etc. and accidentally leaking J-10CP sale months before the photo cameout.
