Hpasp, I have a question. In the sim it is possible to engage 'stealth' targets. It was mentioned on the forum that WarPac SAM crews practiced engaging such targets. I mean, how realistic was it? That technology was secret, right? So how closely did the target drone resemble the F-117? Was it RCS based?

Most of the fast targets were S-25 Berkut (SA-1) system missiles, with Luneburg lenses at the nose.
Depending on the lens, you could simulate the RCS of a B52 or F117, with the same missile.

Question of the week...
... who could calculate the real RCS of the F117?
(all required data is present in the manuals)
