“Understood, but it has to be an active system that tracks the phase of the impinging wave and then with knowledge of processing and re-emission time, received signal strength and phase, produces an equally strong out-of-phase return signal in the direction of the impinging radar signal. It would necessarily be very complex.”

Yeah. We've had systems that could do this (Deceptive ECM)since the 70’s, maybe earlier. The term “stealth” is very broad. We couldn't use a repeater to make a platform invisible but we could move it's position (RGPO range gate pull off). Very handy in anti-ship missile defense.

The plane was shot down by a space based laser. Could have been ours and we were sending a message to China to not try anything while we deal with Russia. Could have been the Russians and they were sending a message to us that if we want a we in Ukraine, have at it. Or it could have been China’s and they were sending us a message saying we no longer own space and boo freakin hoo. Thats what happens when you shut down your space program.

It’s as good a theory as any.
