I was reading a book about area 51’s history, and it seems rather apparent to me that.
The U.S. Government must have applied stealth technology to a lot more than just aircraft, helicopters, missiles, drones, and satellites.

Our enemies have also build advanced weapon systems if we went to war with any 1st world country our entire aircraft carrier fleet would probably sink fairly quickly. Our missile defense systems would be almost useless against weapons specifically designed to destroy them at great distances.
They may be very uses full against 2nd and 3rd world countries but in a real war they are liabilities, in such a war effective stealth will be the name of the game, and countering that stealth, as well as manufacturing large numbers of missiles and drones will be the arms race. (we must have a large manufacturing industry)

I suspect if they haven’t already both China and Russia are developing ways to quietly see right thou our latest stealth aircraft.
Developing such a technology and keeping it a secrete would be the greatest ace card in any major war. For it would render our entire defensive structure vastly out matched. For instead of numbers and performance we have thrown most of our resources into stealth. While they seem to be going in the other direction.
Without effective stealth the F35 is no match for it’s counter parts.

We are but one relatively minor technical revolution in detection technology away from being vastly out matched.

To the credit of the U.S. military they at least recognize the threat of the next space war and their overdependent upon satellite technology, Satellites despite being hard to reach are actually quite vulnerable, and China has a decade ago already demonstrated the capability to take them out. It’s hard to imagine Russia not having that capability. A broader buck shot thou much of space might disable much of the global network, and where that fails more low tech jamming or hacking technology is probably just as effective.

In the next major war, assuming we can agree to leave out nukes out we may lose almost as much due to our dependencies upon the satellites domestically. I for one think it might be worth investing in a more armored stealth satellite or moon base. That is much more difficult to reach by China or Russia.

All that said, given the effects of multi-culturalism, public indoctrination of onesided self-hate, and mass-assimilated colonization of the country, its unlikely the United States will survive the next century anyway.
We are already falling apart at an unexpectedly fast rate. It may be pointless to try and defend that which is already dying from internally inflicted wounds.

We may instead be wise to look to the only future we are likely to have in the presumption that we do break up that some part of our culture manages to also throw off the self-destructive attitudes of the last 80 years that have destroyed us and form a new country based upon the pre-1960’s values of the west. One that still has a birth rate capable of sustaining itself without massive immigration and cultural homogeneity as not to fragment and destroy itself as our current western culture has done so.

In such a future these new weapons are likely to be more the tools of the tyrants of the other lands to inhibit such freedom than the unaffordable tools to defend it. So on net we might be better off without the weapons. Ultimately freedom depends upon the willingness and interest of the individual in their own rights and mind. Not the power of the originated state to suppress or kill them.
Kf there is to be a 2nd revolution, and a rebith of freedom it will come from the indiviual and only if they are able to overpower the state.
