Flap62 - Thank you for a reasoned counter-argument.

Yes, it is based only on open-source information. We do know that stealth aircraft are neither invisible nor invincible. We do know that missile people (on both sides) like to quote head-on launch ranges against non-reacting targets.

And if I or anyone had all the requisite information it could not be discussed here, as you very well know. Moreover, long experience tells me that explanations along the lines of "it really works much better than you think, but it's all secret so I can't tell you more" are usually, well, horse.
