Last number i catch less good than US but RCS average for all sides is decent, very difficult to have these numbers in general only frontal.

Frontal 0.1 m2 in average for all sides 0.5 m2
Inferior and clearly for frontal RCS to F-22 0,0001, F-35 0,001 m2 but for the rest enough good more flattened, small drifts etc...
The rear with engines is medium as for J-20 engines not very well masked for IR signature don't want F-22 sure but two engines is better for IR hot air is more diluted.
In average F-22 : 0.3 m2 and i think F-35 to 0.4 m2

Ofc not exact numbers

But for combat in general ofc adversary look the front so the frontal RCS is the more important as for the armor of a tank.

IMO these are cables associated to certain sensors in order to measure certain dynamic forces (?) ... but more interesting - esp. since some still deny this with the argument it is not proven by an official UAC or Sukhoi report ;) - are the reinforcements clearly visible on the wing. These huge structures (similar to the much smaller ones added to several F-16s) are to cope with structural issues.

I misread your post at first, sorry, later noticed what 'Red Samovar' had to say:

It's a "strain gauge"

Yes those are external "stiffeners" which as the name implies are external structure to strengthen a wing panel when there is no additional room internally, probably due to a "wet wing".
 
Grumpy this morning ace??? prolly need more coffee,,, maybe a little "hard stuff" to "ease your pain?" LOL or not? you've at least made me smile as I type this, so you helped my "mood"?? sorry to have fun at your expense Bub!
around the time of the post you quoted, they mixed up my meal order in the pub
(should've gotten 'grilled turkey with rice', they brought 'grilled pork sirloin with mashed potatoes', actually it looked good, but I would eat mashed potatoes only if I had to, plus I knew the turkey would be great)
LOL!

Yes, I understand,,, however I have been craving fried chicken with mashed potatoes and white milk gravy,,,, biscuits would finish that off??

the Honey Badger is the "Mash Potato Queen!", they are delicious.

However, I would be happy to trade the mashed potatoes for some "Southern Potato Salad" and "Baked Beans"!

My daughters are "hooked" on "Buffalo Wild Wings"? or BW's as they say,,, I'm getting very tired of that???
