with all due respect to magoo a certified aviation guru. politely stated!.

The bottom line, for any stealth aircraft is anything protruding from the aircraft increase's the radar signature of said aircraft. If an F117 had external stores attached ot wings and was going after a SAM site! This would be same as waving a red flag at a bull, figuratively speaking!

That is why, true stealth aircraft dont use external stores. The f-22 does have external store capability and does incorporate, stealth technology in it's structure. But it is more a tactical assest, than a strategical strike assest, like the B-2 and F-117 and what ever else!, that is in the black projects world!.
