I believe this is why the use of the well know long range Phoenix missile was restricted-

(a plane viewed from left-front gives a different signature than one from dead center)
if -example- an F14 were to carry bombs instead of AA weaponry it already has a
very 'unknown' radarsignature

I am sure in the future they will improve their radars...
and you can catch a plane at many angles and be able to identify it (well most likly you would need an advanced computer program ^^;; )
