I understand the concept of risk management.
Are they admitting something here about the 5th gen fighters or the s-400 sysrems, or both?
Who
Cares? Vaxed queers flying around. If they took their oaths seriously things would be different now.
It could be that the Chinese and Russians have been focusing their efforts on detecting the F-22 and/or F-35 and here we bring back the one stealth aircraft they have no experience with and thought we got rid of.
The F-117 looks stealthy-er like the B-2 than the F-22 or 35.
I’ve been hearing planes overhead almost everyday during daylight. Can’t see them . . .but the sound is eerie . . . like before the Iraq war.
Gearing up for China?
As I recall, these aircraft were very hard to detect with modern radars but they showed up like a sore thumb on some older Soviet systems - different bands used.
Oh, yes. The Red Chinese may have modernized all their systems and thrown away the old ones. They might be hosed when it comes to the Nighthawks.
It looks that way because of the limited computer power we had designing it back in the 1970s.
I would imagine however they improved some of the coatings on it, and the electronic systems are probably upgraded now.
“Gearing up for China?”
No ... probably for the “Unvaxed”. Wouldn’t put anything past this “gov’t”.
China already has boots on the ground . . . we just can’t see them.
No smart country throws away their older defense systems! Notice that I said “smart” countries.
Normally working systems are “mothballed” for future emergency use and even updating.
Do we actually have some one in our military commands who is that far sighted?
Scratch Gen. Silly Manilli, the whole Dept of the Queens Navy including Kirby, much of the Marine Corps leaderless-ship, etc.
“we just can’t see them.”
The whole BiXiden Crime fam seem to be quite visible...
Biden administration probably going to give them to Somalia.
You definitely have a point!
“Stunning video shows ...”
(Story doesn’t include link to video, nor do the comments).
Someone around here own stock in “Zubu Brothers”?!? (Pretty much all re-posts of other sites’ content). Is Zero Hedge a “no-no” on FR now? Will have to check the FR copyright page again I guess.

Local Fresno (FR HQ) take:

No radar in the world including our most advanced AEGIS, etc, can both reliably detect and target the U.S. stealth fighters and bombers. A spurious detection is of little use when targeting radars can’t get a lock on. Occasionally they might get a lucky shot (when the f117 flies the exact same track night after night — but we won’t do that again!!!).
School parents more likely.
