I cringe when people say stealth doesn't work because [whatever]. The point of stealth isn't to make you invisible on enemy radar. It's to make the detection range smaller. In air-to-air conflict that means getting the jump on the other guy and getting off a shot before he knows you're there. In strike missions that means reducing the range at which you can be detected, making it easier to employ decoys effectively, and forcing your enemy to rely on the fanciest, most expensive, most powerful, and most up to date radars. When your enemy only has a handful of the types of radars he needs that's an extra point of vulnerability. Stealth isn't the proverbial "I win" technology, but it's a huge advantage. And that Sprey video comes up every single time the F-35 is mentioned. He's still living in a world that doesn't exist any more.
