Sorry, but there’s no such thing as ‘too much stealth’

Written by Teunis Felter

There is no such thing as too much stealthf or America’s military pilots or for the sister-service branches, period. The F-35 Lightning II has had a turbulent march towards combat readiness, and there are critiques that the fifth generation jet simply has too much stealth, technology, and capability for pilots to handle. At a cool $100 million a jet, Lockheed Martin’s F-35 was designed to marry stealth and avionics. The fighter is equipped with radar-evading stealth, supersonic speed, and the most powerful and comprehensive integrated sensor package of any fighter aircraft in history. In short, the F-35 gives pilots the ability to see and not be seen.
