That is not how stealth works.
It's not a cloaking device, it's a <1 multiplier on the effectiveness of enemy radar. Both sides will still have radar, and detection range for a good stealth fighter with modern radar against itself is going to be higher than visual range. What stealth does do is it reduces detection range to well below the employment range of good missiles, which means that the first one to get a radar lock will either end the fight then and there, or at least be able to manouver into a very favorable position while the enemy has to evade a missile. This is why fights with stealth aircraft in simulation and training are so very technical and one-sided.
