Point the nose down by tapping the RUDDER pedals?

Never flew jets but in a propellor aircraft if you are flying slowly at a high angle of attack you point the nose down by pushing the stick or yoke forward.

Pushing the rudders was part of a deliberate move to initiate a spin from a near stall/ high angle of attack/ similar.

My concern is that we are paying a colossal price for technology that will probably be countered by simpler, cheaper technology in the near term. There is no long term for a plane that does not perform as well as an older version fighter if the stealth is compromised. Note that the F-117 was withdrawn from service completely. This is because newer, networked radars could easily find it and the plane which flew only subsonic was a sitting deck for any World War Two fighter. The B-2 is being superseded by a newer version that must fly close to the ground. Why, you might ask, should a stealth aircraft fly close to the ground? Because it stealth is already greatly reduced by existing networked radars and will likely be useless long before the end of the plane-s combat life. So, we are over-paying for something that will not be of use for very long. Then, having spent the money, what will we be able to put into the air to defend against fleets of obsolete but still deadly enemy planes?
