What really is horrible here is the asymmetry of cost- the development of stealth technology costed billions and took from drawinboard to reliable implemenetation close to half a century.

And it seems that detection is always easier and cheaper. I wonder wether radar and quantum "noise"-bombs that basically spam the enemy detection methods would be a cheaper approach.

"quantum noise bombs"... this wont work as the photons that hit the receiver wont be entangled with the one you sent out... This makes it potentially un-jammable in that sense.

Of course, overloading the receiver may be an attack worthy of investigating.

That's the fate of most military technologies throughout history, why would stealth be different?

Spam the enemy with thousands of drones.
