Mongo Link.exe failed a turing test with the following:

F-117 is not a true stealth aircraft. It can be seen on radar. It is
almost stealthy and it's a 30 year old "bomber" but 30 years on,
still nobody has anything like it. I don't believe it's supersonic
either.


So if the F-117 isnt a true stealth aircraft, please let us know what is.
Just because it can be seen on radar does not make it 'not a true stealth'
aircraft. It was designed with stealth characteristics as primary design
objective. Looks like they managed that one. All stealth does is *reduce*
the detection range of the radar, enabling you to get closer to the target
to kill it before the enemy can react. Go read up on the subject then come
back and rejoin the debate.
