Thank you for that question.
The stealth capability in and of itself is certainly an advantage, but it's also what it comes with, the overall package that the fifth-generation aircraft brings to any sort of conflict. Stealth allows you to have a low probability of detection. Ultimately, all airplanes can be eventually found. What you're looking for is the advantage of time and space. Stealth lets you observe without being observed, and also lets you take action where opposing forces will have minimal time to react, if at all. This means you have a significant tactical advantage in all cases.
Clearly that links back to survivability, going into very complex and dangerous environments where unpredictability is the nature of the beast. Stealth allows you to have additional assets on your side, which buys you the time to make the right tactical decisions to either act or avoid being engaged and destroyed. Stealth is a fairly winning hand in any modern conflict. For us not to go that route would be to spend a lot of money on equipment that would be fairly marginalized as far as complex environments are concerned.
