What it may mean is (1) that the difference between broadband/all-aspect LO, which really drives towards a tailless blended-body, and the evolved F-117/22/35 approach becomes more important and (2) that stealth still needs to be combined with other techniques and systems - tactics, standoff, EW &c.

That would be the even more money per unit approach, thus less airframes available for the same customer with a limited budget (are there others now or in the future?).

Where will that lead to?
