Speaking of drones, All the drones I have seen from all over the world look alike.

I have not seen any ‘stealthy’ drones that resemble a F-117 or similar.

A couple weeks ago I read an article it is rumored that some F-117s were being re-outfitted as drones................

Russia has had huge success in drone ECM. In fact, the video on Russia’s MASSIVE tank production’s factories show specifically dedicated hard mounts on areas for drone ECM units.They leave the facilities with wiring, mounts, etc. ready for the units to be installed in the field.

You tube has few videos, worth pulling up. They currently have “ the jump” in this technology. The West will no doubt develop their own- but when?

I attended Ft Moores M1 live fire events this weekend, none of their SEP upgrades have anti- drone equipment, and the crews are unaware of any upgrades. They better get busy.

The rumor is almost certainly wrong. The F-117's stealth design was the extreme first of such. Newer designs have better stealth characteristics, better materials, and a smoother design allowing for better stability and control. The blocky design was the best they could do at the time without massive computer power required for high-fidelity stealth design analysis.
