don't forget that even if stealth is worthless when considering radars, it can still greatly reduce the distance that radars can detect stealthier aircrafts.

- vonmoltke 12y agoThe second clause of your statement contradicts the first. There is a common misconception that stealth is about making things "invisible" to radar. It is really about reducing the radar signature of a vehicle as much as possible when viewed from a conventional, colocated transmitter/receiver type radar. That includes reducing the detection range or making it harder for fire control radars to get and maintain a lock. One end of this spectrum is making the aircraft undetectable by some or all radars, but stealth goes well beyond that.
