[.. Have you actually seen an A-10 fully loaded? You can't be stealthy with all that hardware hanging from the wings. And there's no way you can store it all inside the airframe and still have a nimble craft like the A-10. ..]

O.K. O.K. we need stealthy ordinance then.. and pilons..

Stealth cruise missiles should be standard procedure.. even stealth air to air missles.. That way the targets radar would not hes in danger..

I want to put this politely, since I am sure you are sincere if a little ignorant about stealth...you make ordnance stealthy by hiding it inside the airframe. Things with edges and angles like pylons and missile fins are radar replectors, so you try to minimize them in the airfarme design. Material properties also matter. Pylons are usually 'hard', while skin coverings can be made from stealthy composites. Theres a lot more to it than this, but I think you will get the point.

Dont take my 'ignorance' comment the wrong way. All ignorance is cured by education.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how stealth works.
