The F-117, which is a strategic weapon optimized for night raids and precision bombing because it is virtually invisible to radar, has come to Korea several times since the Team Sprit exercise in 1993. It, however, is the first time that more than ten stealth fighters have been deployed in South Korea at one time.
Is this the same "invisible" stealth bomber that the Serbs shot down? How did they shoot it down without seeing it?
My understanding is that nothing that flies through the air at hundreds of miles per hour is invisible. The movement of the air itself at those speeds produces electromagnetic disturbances that are strong enough to be detected from the ground. If the Serbs ( with the help of the Russians according to Romanian T.V. ) shot one down what are the Russians going to be able to do?
The "stealth" bombers performance in Kosovo is another good example of how we Collectively cant keep our eye on the Ball. The bomber went down and the media was still claiming no American casualties for quite some time. Does the "stealth bomber" fly without a pilot? If not, did we ever get the pilot back? It was surely not front page news. I wonder why? Why is it still referred to as invisible to radar?? Resistant to radar OK. Invisible?? Tell the Serbs that. As the war on terror grinds on I think we are in for some really rude surprises about how well all this fancy technology works under real war conditions. The "Stealth" bomber has never really been battle tested and has already come up short. How many billions did we pay for these planes?
