Regarding defeating stealth, just FYI that in recent exercise (can't remember if it was Red Flag or something else) a matchup between the Eurofighter Typhoon (IIRC) and the Raptor ended up with the Raptor losing due to not quite having the same manuverability edge of the Typhoon in a close range dogfight.

That said, the issue is getting into that dogfight in the first place; the Raptor can detect you before you detect the Raptor, under most circumstances.

Note that when Sagiri's forces with dogfighting with Walken's battalion, it was a close range dogfight, which evened the odds somewhat.
