You've perfectly twisted the point I was making around. I'll bring it back. A stealth aircraft with non-stealthy external weapons is, as a whole, less stealthy (by some order of magnitude) than a non-stealthy aircraft with the same external stores.
I think he gets your point, but just doesn't agree with it MSOCS.

...any aircraft carrying 2 x GBU-31s externally, for instance, has an RCS equal to or greater than 2 x GBU-31s, which have enough body-of-revolution shapes and orthogonal bits, even discounting the pylons and other naughty bits, to have an RCS which won't be orders of magnitude below an aircraft.
It's not LO that's twisting a point, he seems to be pretty clear on it.

Also, I'd suggest that outing someone on PPRuNE should be avoided unless you're happy to tell everyone your own identity also - some are, most aren't. Posting links to other forums? Not such an indiscretion.
