Sputnik: US ‘Stealth’ Bombers Can’t Hide From Russian Anti-Aircraft Missiles
Russian anti-aircraft missiles can detect and hit US stealth bombers, Major General Sergei Babakov said, according to Gazeta.ru.
Neither the Northdrop B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber nor Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk can fly undetected from Russian missiles, said Babakov, the head of Russia's anti-aircraft missile troops.
Babakov also added that official trials of extended range missiles for advanced S-400 Triumf air defense systems are in the final stage.
WNU Editor: If this Russian general is telling the truth, it also raises questions on the value of the F-35 program. F-35 promoters are always pushing about its stealth capabilities .... but one has to wonder if they are over-selling this capability, and that Russian/Chinese radar operators will be able to track and target these planes with anti-aircraft missiles.
