F-16s go dark

[typerated]

The Aviationist » U.S. F-16s tasked to destroy enemy radars, missile batteries to get the same radar-absorbing paint job of the F-35


You would have to assume the radar reflection is significantly reduced as they will stand out like a sore thumb visually! Or perhaps they just fight at night?

I hope in future others colours are found to work other than dull grey!

On a similar theme I remember a trial on Harrier GR5s being mentioned – head on, the intakes are almost always shaded and look like a large dark blobs. If my failing memory serves me right there was a trail to add lights inside the intakes to make them as bright as the background and therefore help them blend in – anyone remember this?
