RE: [Fwd: flanker New China Radar technology threatens US Stealth Aircraft!]

True.
However the same is true for all aircraft. 
It costs less to make an anti-aircraft missile than an aircraft. But I
suspect that aircraft will be used far into the future.

Also, if the new technology can detect stealthed aircraft, how much more
so
will it be able to detect non-stealthed aircraft?
