F-22 Raptor Stealth tech is allegedy 'defective'
According to former engineer. Low-quality stealth coatings have not only supposedly worsened the radar and infrared visibility of the F-22, but that they have been a factor in dangerous and expensive accidents - as when a piece of coating broke off and was sucked into an F-22 engine last year, causing over a million dollars of damage. The Raptor's stealth protection has supposedly not been remedied through the present date.
IMO: Looks like substantial further evidence to strengthen Obama's hand in cancelling further Raptor production - and presumably add more drones.
