I wonder how much the design of the stealth has improved. Apart from the Stealth that was shot down because of the vapor tail being seen from the ground, they proved there worth in both Iraq and Bosnia . But have they sorted out the miner details of the wet from rain, as I can recall the conflicted in Bosnia the stealths had to be stored in special hangers to keep them dry because faults were arising from the wet loosening the Adhesive holding the special skin or TILES?? onto the surface of the craft Which if the TILES came off then there was a risk of radar detection.
