Right? The “Lightning II”? The irony. It burns... 😆

I’m sure the sensors could be impacted by lightning. And rain will likely impact the stealth characteristic...

But it’s an unavoidable reality of today. Get stuck in the past, reminiscing about a cavalry frontal assault after Mr. Gatlin, or build trenches after Mr. Tank appeared, and you’ll be disappointed.

Likewise, today it’s all about electronics: sensors, computers, networks... And avoiding sensors spoofing, jamming etc.
