The only bits of that that are real useful are the rapid 180 degree reversals of direction. Our aircraft can stall in similar fashion and recover like the video showed. The end over end tumble is neat but may not be real useful in a fight.

Oh yeah, stealth can be seen by pulse radar at low levels (that's my understanding anyway). But only a few countries have it. The technology does not render the aircraft invisable, it just reduces the signature to something very small that theoretically could be seen by other radar.

Also if you can make something appear smaller on radar, can you make something appear bigger? |

The radars can filter out the smaller signatures, but the settings can be adjusted to see smaller things, but you get a ton of clutter. As for making things look larger, I assume that would be possible, theoretically. I am not sure how it would be done. Vibrations or something, I suppose.

I believe pulse radar works on that principle. However, I am dubious of the Chinese TV thing for several reasons. First, I figure that would send so much energy into the air as to render much other transmissions kaput. Second, the command, control, and monitering of such a system would require enormous expense, manpower, and coordination. It would probably give plenty of false alarms as well. Third, system calibration, which is critical, would be next to impossible. Finally, in order to find out, all we would have to do is send some embassy secratary in Bejing down to the local TV shop, buy a set, and take it apart. If it IS true, I'd be pretty impressed. Though that doesn't take much. I'm still impressed by DSL modem connections.
