A stealth aircraft is not needed in Afghanistan. A stealth aircraft in Afghanistan which can overfly Iran next door WOULD be quite useful.
Interesting point. As far as I know, the Taliban’s air defense screen consists of a couple of guys with binoculars on the top of a hill somewhere. I suppose a small shape would be easier for these guys to miss, especially if you paint the body with light, sky colors. Perhaps that’s what they’re talking about when they say stealth here.
