We have new ways of doing things. Better ways. The slab sides of the F-117 were due to limitations in computer power back then. We don't have those limitations anymore, do we?

But production of those "new ways" is a very real limitation. A limitation which you have continuously ducked.

The F-117 has the virtue of being deployed. It's real. Its there. It has the extra virtue thereto of being a Deterrent. The Chi-Comms have to respect it. Whereas a paper threat...they don't...or at any rate won't. So if you want to prevent their launching war...stop defending the pell- mell...(and unilateral I might add)... disarmament.

Neither the F-22 (which is essentially not deployed for real with at best two wings available)...nor the the F-35 which doesn't even EXIST yet for all practical purposes...are available in the numbers which the F-117 affords us.

So you think that what is out there in the open is all we have?
