I have a few questions about the B-2.  First, does it use radar?
If it does, then couldn't a combination visual sighting + radar seeking
missile knock it down?  Second, I recall an exposition on flat surfaces
deflecting radar waves away from the sender.  In that case, could two
enemy aircraft working together as sender & receiver, find and track
the Stealth?  Third, how did they knock down enemy aircraft before the
invention of radar, and could those tactics be used against the B-2?

P.S. :  I'd appreciate it if people were careful to define their acronyms in
their postings.  Some of us readers are coming to this group with little to
no military knowledge.  Thanks in advance
