That was when we learned that the older Radar systems using long wave radar could see the Stealth aircraft. Not well, not like they saw other non stealth types, but they could see them, and shoot at them.
No doubt the longwave radar was not scattered as easily as was the shorter wave high resolution radar.
Smart people exist in every country. The American Navy was furious when the Politicians let on how easily the Submarines could track their Soviet Counterparts.
Let me get back to you about the intelligence of some of our politicians.
And how long before we won’t send in anymore stealths? Because we can’t afford to lose them.
Yes, one thing I heard years ago possibly still true now was the high cost of our best technology. By comparison at that time (not that long ago), the Russians could not only afford to build far more because of the vastly lower unit cost per tank or plane, but that they were much more immune to EMP and other forms of electronic attack because many of their systems were still running off fairly bullet-proof vacuum tube technology!
