| Jan 19, 2021 at 20:55 | comment | added | Therac | @Fattie Anything emitting radiation of a specific wavelength is detectable, at some distance, by a receiver of radiation of that wavelength. Does that make more sense now? | |
| Jan 19, 2021 at 20:11 | comment | added | DKNguyen | This question doesn't make any sense to me. "Assume a ninja is 100% undetectable, but if he is constantly screaming wouldn't you be able to detect him?" I mean, sure, but why are you assuming the ninja is screaming to begin with if he is trying to be stealthy? | |
| Jan 19, 2021 at 16:33 | comment | added | Fattie | "anything emitting radar is detectable by another radar receiver" that's just not really true or sensible. It would be much like saying "Any pushbike can definitely get away from any car." | |
| Jan 19, 2021 at 16:31 | comment | added | Fattie | (Actually it looks like the F117 doesn't even have a radar.) | |
| Jan 19, 2021 at 16:30 | comment | added | Fattie | Guys, stealth aircraft essentially don't use radar. (Sure, they turn it on when near home base in the US, etc.) | |

| Jan 19, 2021 at 1:04 | comment | added | Dai | "assuming that a fighter aircraft is 100% invisible on radar. However, its radar is transmitting energy continuously which can be detected" - that's contradictory: anything emitting radar is detectable by another radar receiver, not just things reflecting radar signals. | |
