NONE of those planes should be used in the Syrian arena1. Use VHF radar to get your heat-seeking missiles within a mile...
2. Take out the stealth aircraft on the ground.
I'm pretty sure Russia and China are working on both.
Obama can’t wait to try and then Surrender
Not if there aren’t any flying there.
So call your Congressman and tell him to push back against the Obama support for ISIS.
NONE of those planes should be used in the Syrian arenaLove to know Israel's response too the S-300 & 400. And despite Obama's prickly relationship with Bibi and Israel, did they share their counter too these weapons w/ BHO....
Well, the Serbs managed to shoot down an F117 with old Russian equipment. We tried to pass off the shoot down as a one in a million shot a “magic bb, but was it? So yes, they could.
There probably is a fairly large window of opportunity to create false positives and create confusion resulting in wasted launches.
I suspect that it is part of the plan.
No one thought Japan could produce the Zero fighter or attack Pearl Harbor.
No one expected Russia to produce the T-34 tank, the Mig-15 or Sputnik.
How many expected Osama bin Laden to have the capability to mastermind 9/11?
There are two conclusive and certain ways to beat stealth.
1. Use VHF radar to get your heat-seeking missiles within a mile...
2. Take out the stealth aircraft on the ground.

Also, despite the propaganda about the invincible F-35, robot aircraft could fly circles around it because the human pilot cannot take the same G-forces. (Think China: robot-manufacturing capital of the world.)
the questions should be could they and would they? Maybe they could get off a lucky shot but they know the ramifications for such a thing would be huge, under any other President. But I believe Putin surely has reserved that decision for himself of some very high ranking person under strict orders to get it right before pulling the trigger.
While the left, the MSM and other NeverTrumpers obsess over Trump’s “lewd” comments the Red Menace is awakening and aren’t you confident of the DC team we have to fight them? We are in such deep trouble.
Any given day they could get lucky and the U.S warplane could be unlucky.
The leadership of the United States are both corrupt and stupid. They seem anxious to get something going before it is possible to block it. Do the math...
Of course, they could.
The question should be would they?
If only Vlad would chill out a few more weeks. But our Terrorist in Chief the one who’s really pushing it. Anything to stay in office, to declare martial law to get Hellary into office but mainly to destroy the US.
“I’m pretty sure Russia and China are working on both”
I’m pretty sure they have hacked, or bought information on how to defeat our Stealth Aircraft.
The U-2 spy plane was thought to fly above range of Russian missiles as well.
Starting a fight with the Russians over Syria would be insane.
One of the Aviation-Leak type websites has caught a couple of F-117A's reactivated via a zoom lens at Tonapah.
One looks like it has a hump back or some fuselage mod, but it could be heat distortion from the long distance in the photo....
So why are they active now with all this "talk".....
Stealth does NOT confer invisibility. Even if it did, it would not confer invisibility to optical or infra red trackers.
Stealth never was intended to confer the sort of capability to ignore enemy radar in any mission profile.
Of course they could.
And, BTW, the "National Interest" is interested in a number of nations, it's not clear that the USA makes the cut.
