Yes, lo-wave radar can detect Stealth Aircraft, that was shown against the Nighthawk during the Balkan Crisis, but to do so you need to factor out every bird, dragonfly, baseball, and Frisbee (as well as everything else that’s not a plane, obviously) from the sky to track it. Now, that can obviously be done with even commercial computerization, buy most countries either don’t have a fleet of AA defence that can accept such s form of modernization, don’t have the money in their military budget to spend anywhere up to an approximate 70% of the original systems themselves (obviously, price will vary based on system), or both. And even then, most of these computer systems are much too likely to break down for many militaries to widely accept them for full use, and they are almost all highly prone to havking, which could lead to either blue-on-blue engagements, or even targeting of civilian and commercial aircraft with the military ordinance.
 
Let’s just say that, while it’s 100% possible to detect stealth, I’ve never gone denying that, there are still several hurdles to overcome before STEALTH is fully overcome. For now, it still works just fine - but it will only work for a certain amount of time before being replaced by something else.

long wavelength radars can detect the F-35 and all other stealth aircraft, if the enemy knows youre there half of the stealth value is already gone.
 
i dont support the NLR or SE, i would not want to replace a dictator with a dictator.

Not at all, as long as you know what they actually mean when they say “stealth”. These things aren’t undetectable, just much harder to detect as long as they’re not clearly visible. Which they rarely are while on mission.
 
But as a proud supporter of the NLR, let me just say that the F-35 is tooooootal horse shit. It’s been in development for what… 11? 13 years now? And it’s STILL not mission-capable in any respect!

you know what the best thing about stealth technology is?
 
its a scam.
