We are pouring billions into the F-22 and JSF and have spent billions on the B-2 and F117 and all of this is wrong?
My God ..we need to send this link to George Bush PRONTO- before we spend anymore money on defense...
Like I'll believe it...
To my knowledge russians has already had the radar technology for ages.
B2 and F117 could easily be detected by older radars, if they'd make a sharp turn
They're meant to fly straight with slow turns in order to maintain stealth.
F22/JSF aren't even close to the stealth of B2/F117, they're made with lower radar profile, therefore making those harder to detect over range.
Nothing unique there, russians and europeans do have these partial stealth fighter designs as well, even if not with all the same technology.
