Forbes: How To Make An F-16 Look Like A Russian Stealth Fighter
The U.S. Air Force has painted a second F-16 fighter to resemble Russia’s Su-57 stealth fighter with its pixelated paint-job.
The “ghost scheme” F-16 will join roughly 40 other F-16s in Nevada and Alaska that stand in for Russian and Chinese fighters during realistic war games.
The 576th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Hill Air Force Base in Utah painted the 1986-vintage F-16C—a nimble, lightweight Block 32 model—at the behest of the 64th Aggressor Squadron based at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
The 64th Aggressor Squadron supports semi-annual Red Flag exercises.

The first F-16 with the ghost scheme appeared last year and flies with the Alaska squadron.
