I’ve seen videos on it from leading YouTubers. They do a good job at covering the maneuverability of it, but they don’t explain enough of the electronics to satisfy my appetite. I understand that it’s is great at electronic warfare due to advanced processing power from advanced chips. What are they doing with all that electronic power, running an LLM chat bot to deceive the enemy in their own language and ray tracing graphics on the helmet HUD?

    We will never know the full scale, because that’s classified, but there are some details that we do know, and some that are reasonably safe to assume.

    • Sensor systems better than anything else fielded (confirmed due to the high cost of one particular part needed for an IR tracker and camera)
    • Teaming possibility with other planes where one plane detects and another plane fires
    • Exceptional radar
    • An unknown quantity of EW capabilities

    In addition to this, I’d like to point out a major difference in track record between US arms industry and that of russia: US capabilities are usually understated. Russian ones are usually either overstated, or only possible in the most ideal set of circumstances.
