Concerning the use of older, long-wave radars to detect stealth
aircraft:  I've yet to hear this from a documented and 
authoritative source.  Maybe there has been some knowledgable
source who released this info, but all I've heard is from

****SARCASM MODE ON****

the wonderful, objective, and accurate 

****SARCASM MODE OFF****

news media.  They never quote any sources as they show file tapes of 
wrong aircraft shooting down drones.

Even if this is true, I would think that effective ECM has
been developed to combat this supposedly obsolete radar.

Then again, maybe the whole thing is one big disinformation campaign.
Oh, well.
