The same thing can stop an F22 much easier because it is slower duh lol. It is going at a much slower speed and lower altitude than a hypersonic fighter lol.

ASAT, Jamming via space or ground, and RAM on top of aircraft to counter, US military knew about this for the past 15 years to defeat Space Based Radar.
Some food for though, the Bird of Prey was developed around the same time for a technology demonstrator.
CCS Block 20 and SM-3 anyone?
Good Day

I was familiar with this technology, but its not in practice on the F22. The Russians also have laser and microwave weapons to fry the f22 before it even takes off. But it is not in practice just as the optical stealth is not in practice. Their are countermeasures to jamming with dedicated channels and AES-256 strength encryption. The optical stealth is not on the F22 dude, so its useless. The f22 stealth is useless because satellites can see the F22 from space.edit on 7-4-2011 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)

Even if you place RAM on top of a plane it will still reflect a fair amout of material. ASAT is also in possession of the Russians but if you shoot down a satellite wouldn't that lead to an all out war?
What about high powered optical satellites and LIDAR satellites. The US does not have technology to defeat such systems. Therefore stealth is rendered a figment of the imagination.edit on 7-4-2011 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)

Haha, tell me how LIDAR wont be effective? Optical satellites already exist duh. How will LIDAR fail? It is already being used by the military to map terrain features. It can see through clouds. What aspect of LIDAR failed?

Dude LIDAR satellites exist. They have been using it for ground mapping. We did experiments with lasers when I was getting my physics degree. Yes I know what lasers are capable of.
