Will the metal strips attached to the aircraft radome affect the detection performance?

Yes Sticking metal strips on radome will affect radar performance. The main function of the radome is to protect the radar system in the radome from external forces without affecting the radar detection performance. In addition, the radome, as an integral part of the aircraft shape, also plays a role in maintaining the aerodynamic shape of the whole aircraft.
