I will cite one point that was made by one of the pilots, who was not an American, but was rather a Brit who was flying there. I think he was flying an F-15 at that point, with one of the greatest search radars going. He said, “There was at one point an F-22 inside our space within visual range—I could see him—but my radar was not able to lock on him. If I had fired a missile at him, it would have been a random shot.”
The real point on the technology of stealth is that it prevents the other aircraft's targeting radars from being able to lock on you, which they have to do for a period in order to have a chance that when the missile is fired it is going to impact the target area. The stealth dimension is absolutely critical in the future air force combat environment.
