Wow, I didn't know stealth was a scam. WW2 radars can be used to find modern "stealth" planes.

  As other discussions have pointed out, that's not all that useful if you can't then kill them, which existent long wave radars are rather bad at.

    An old, Russian, mobile, vacuum tube-using radar system guided an SA-3 as it shot down an F-117 over Serbia. What makes you think modern HF radars that use high-tech computers won't be able to do better?

  stealth still gives you the edge BVR. if anything, even if you'd be out of range of AIM120's you can choose to turn back if you know where the enemy is. close combat its IR missiles anyway.

    The AMRAAM can be used at close range. This is necessary: what do you do after expending all your Sidewinders?

      hopefully you rarely get in that situation - but.. itll work fine as long as its in radar view.

  It isn't that much of a scam. The stealth planes were detected by the old radars when their bomb hatch was open.
