F-35 vs F-22: who would get the first look?

[white_lightning35]

Hello everyone, I'm sorry if this question has been discussed here before but I have yet to see a consensus on it. So, I was wondering if the f-35 would detect the f-22 first simply because of EODAS. I know that the apg-77 has more t/r modules than the apg-81 but the apg-81 is newer, so I'm not sure which radar is better. I've heard the quote saying that the f-35 is stealthier in some respects than the f-22, but not as stealthy in others. This made me think that if they could detect each other at roughly the same time with their radars, would the f-35's EODAS see the f-22 from farther away than either plane's radar could?

Thanks in advance.

F-35 but likely with EOTS not EODAS

The F-35s Barracuda has jammed the APG-77. Without that the F-22 is blind. End of discussion. F-35 wins.

"Without that the F-22 is blind" Not completely true. The F-22 has other passive sensors and cooperative conops, but when we speak of jamming, sensor operation, and such we tread into classified realms. When we do that ...

The interesting thing is that the Raptor was built to be a predator, efficiently preying on inferior 4th gen aircraft. The fact that the F-35 is a bit more rounded means it has systems that might give it an edge against other 5th gen fighters. How it all pans out is going to be highly dependent on things not in the public domain, and is likely to depend greatly on circumstance.

You are of course right about there being classified information. Without access to the classified information we can only speculate on what we know. What we know is that if the APG-77 is jammed then the F-35 suite has an azimuth and elevation to send the signal. EOTS can follow that track to VID. Based on the unclassified information available the F-35 should win. I would be shocked if it was that simple but since I can't even begin to fathom the true nature of either plane I threw out an overly simplified anecdote for an overly simplified question.

I do not know. I am guessing.

Yep, end of discussion.
