#1 ...IIRC - and I will cheerfully admit to error - VHF radars are better at tracking stealthy aircraft than standard radars, but not perfect. And they really only work at all if the stealthy aircraft is obliging enough to fly in at altitude presenting its largest cross-section.

If, on the other hand, the stealth pilots don't cooperate, they may well give the radar crews just enough time to mutter the Mandarin equivalent of, "Oh, sh-

#7 This has been around for a long time.

These radars have a very long wave and while it can detect stealth aircraft in some aspects, it isn't very good at tracking them accurately and can't guide in a missile.

They detect a stealth aircraft out... there... somewhere towards the north. Only then do they send lots of other normal radars to the area to try to pick it up and kill it.

So far they are unproven in battle, but the good thing about it is a HARM missile can be dispatched to dispatch the radar.

#8 And then there's bistatic radar.

#9 Of course current stealth technology will be overcome by sensor technology. Think of it as armor vs warhead. The next step in stealth may well be active stealth that sends a counter signal back to the source. If it isnt here already
