Russia's new fifth-generation interceptor Su-57 (Picture I) |

Russia has a new fifth-generation fighter Su-57, what should be challenging the newest U.S fighters in the skies, if the war begins. And we know that Russian aircraft engineers cannot or doesn't want to mass-produce similar smooth surfaces, what is used in F-22 and F-36 fighters, and that surface is vital for high- speed STEALTH interceptors. And here we must realize that the making effective STEALTH technology is the little bit more difficult than in some movies. When somebody says that "old time" radars would answer for the threat of STEALTH, they would not realize that many of those "old time radars" are nowadays equipped with high power computerized support systems, what helps the crew to perceive the situation.
Also, modern anti-aircraft systems are using multi-sensor technology, and there are multi-frequency radar systems and optical sensors, what makes observations in infra-red and visual light frequencies, and also the Anti-aircraft artillery systems are equipped with infra-red cameras. The systems are also equipped with image recognition programs, what mission is to locate enemy aircraft. The newest anti-aircraft systems are actually the microwave walls, that means the targets are surrounded by the line of microwave transmitters s, what makes the wall around the target. That would be very effective against any aircraft in the world. Also, very powerful radars can be used to cause damages to enemy aircraft, and when about one-megawatt radio impulse strikes to the target, would that cause damages to all electronic equipment.
This is the new way to make military or anti-STEALTH equipment. The problem with STEALTH is that if some pilot would be rebellious there will be very difficult to stop that action if the in the plane is hired an explosive, could the launching code steal by the enemy, and that would cause the very bad situation. But when we are thinking about the problems with developing STEALTH-interceptors, we must say, that those aircraft are combined with materials and other technology, and making the smooth surfaces needs new type of materials and carbon fibers are in the key element in those new type of hybrid materials, what can be used to produce those forms, what makes ultra-fast STEALTH-interceptor possible.
