I've got a cupboard full of them, the buggers. They shimmey in all invisible like and start roosting. Keep stealth bombing my socks and everything. Mothballs don't work because they can't see them, which is no good to me.

It's almost as bad as when the bathroom was full of U-boats. Kept me awake for nights on end with their squaking 'Tiperraray'. Got the plumber out. He just looked down the plughole and said 'There's your problem mate, it's full of U-boats.' Oh thank you very much....I paid 50 quid for that adivce. Said the only way to get rid of them was a couple of depth charges but the neighbours would probably not be happy. Eventually a stray Johnny Walker got in there and ate them all so it worked out alright in the end although we had to take the sink apart to get rid of all the periscopes which your common or garden Johnny Walker can't digest ( so he just spits them out. )

Anyways. I've got heaps of Stealth bombers which you can have if you want and they are all free. You'll have to catch them though.

Anyway, you Klingon Verruls, who do you think you got those cloaking devices from? Let me show you the true emperors of stealth!




And as for other countries having stealth? Well, the idea is sound and workable, the materials are the problem...I dare say Russia has perhaps a prototype that might be operational sometime in the next century, maybe China's working on something too.

this didnt help any

i would take manouvrable fast jets dedicated in design to there function other planes with compromised design fighting a losing war with detection methods.

just my view.

British Aerospace did build its own stealth fighter, actually more like the F-22 if you saw pictures of it but a bit smaller and I'd say better looking.

It wasn't a fully functional fighter but used for testing Low Observable design and construction. Pictures were in Flight International last year.

Apparently the MoD financed some of it so BAe definately has stealth experience and technology.

I think the whole point of making it was to ensure that if necessary we could build a low observable combat aircraft independent of the US. The new UK UCAV is very stealth oriented.

What I see in the US seems to be the idea that stealth is a panacea. The F-22 may well be the pinacle of fighter design and the stealth characteristics are great in theory in that when all is tucked up inside you can see first and shoot first and get detected later, but for the F-22 to also fulfill a meaningful attack role it will have to carry payload under the wings. They may have developed lower RCS pylons and bomb holders but still a compromise.

I guess we will see.

Be a stealth bomber yourself. Hit the other so fast that he does not see it coming!
