Midway through the article it finally mentions that this was with the "radar invisibility cloak" turned off by installing Luneburg lenses to make it radar visible. I don't doubt that there are current advances in radar technology that weaken the stealth claims of the F-35, but I don't think that this specific case demonstrates this.
