Any word on what those canards do to the Radar Cross Section of the Rafael. The Russians & Europeans seem to like the canard. We don’t see them on US aircraft.

Good read...thanks for posting..
Question, from someone with a very, VERY minimal knowledge of aircraft design and aerodynamics....
Everything I've ever read says that canards are the way to go, yet US plane designers, and the USAF, have never embraced them..except for the aborted supersonoic bomber decades ago.....any idea why?
