Sputnik: US ‘Stealth’ Bombers Can’t Hide From Russian Anti-Aircraft Missiles
Russian anti-aircraft missiles can detect and hit US stealth bombers, Major General Sergei Babakov said, according to Gazeta.ru.
Neither the Northdrop B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber nor Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk can fly undetected from Russian missiles, said Babakov, the head of Russia's anti-aircraft missile troops.
Babakov also added that official trials of extended range missiles for advanced S-400 Triumf air defense systems are in the final stage.
WNU Editor: If this Russian general is telling the truth, it also raises questions on the value of the F-35 program. F-35 promoters are always pushing about its stealth capabilities .... but one has to wonder if they are over-selling this capability, and that Russian/Chinese radar operators will be able to track and target these planes with anti-aircraft missiles.

the f 1117 was stealth shot down in yugo war theres no such thing as steakth its a myth the heat signal off planes engines gives away its position not stealth covering paint used pure myth
There never was stealth. There was just diminishing you signature so they had to deploy more pickets, deploy them closer together etc.
People could go the other way. Don't hide. Announce you are there in a big way.
