AtomKraft, are you saying that, as counters exist, we shouldn't develop new technologies because, in the case of the rubbish qualities of stealth (in your view), it's a waste? That it has no utility? To believe that F-35 rests on the laurels of stealth alone is to miss the woods for the sake of a tree. What's to say you can't put a pod on an F-35? Of course, nothing is absolute. Even if an F-44 Super Raptor existed, one could find fault if pressed and it would probably cost twice what a Raptor costs ($180m-ish).

I did enjoy the Bucaneer bit though. To a point.
