Do you realize how much Force Design 2030 relies on being able to hide from enemy fires? How do you setup an EABO and keep from being targeted and destroyed in the middle of a rearming/refueling evolution? Low signature? Being able to hide is a big part of an operating concept? Huge bets are being placed .... I hope for our guys that it works out but damn! Huge bets are being made.
