I think you will have to revise your claim significantly downward
after reading Air Forces own intelligence reports.

Then post them, and we can judge. Until that point, it's just more of
your silly "American tech sucks, Russian tech rules" propaganda.

Jammers are what you use *after* they get a lock on you. Firing up
active countermeasures when there's no radar pointed at you is like
lighting a match in a dark room. Stealth planes use jammers as a last
resort, when they've been actively painted by a radar.

Not neccesarly,you can try to blind hostile radars or try to inject
false data even before an attack starts

You *can*, when you're doing large operations, but for stealth fighers,
it's a really bad tactic.

Well, *you* claim they can, but so far, nobody has actually demonstrated
this. It ranks right up with some of the silliest claims by Soviet
techs back in the Cold War.

For a demonstration you need the support of Air Force,only official
operator of airborne stealth platforms and they are of course not
very supportive.

In other words, the claim you made (about showing a working
stealth-detecting radar) was a lie.

(Silly "American corporations are covering up anti-stealth radars to
sell more planes" conspiracy deleted)

..and also pretty much theoretical, like those multistatics you keep
hoping someone will build.

Unlike multistatics,they are still experimental.
In multistatics issue there is nothing experimantal they are here.

They're here, they're just not that good.

Either you mean only backscatterer type radars when you use the term
"radar" or you call 600 miles "point blank" distance.

Still holding on to the multistatic radar fantasy, eh?

If someone had such a technology that worked, they'd be selling them by
the shipload to every penny-ante dictator on the planet, and the US
would be losing stealth planes on a regular basis.

Since that hasn't happened, it's just another of your silly little
Russian superiority vs US inferiority dreams.
