Stealth technology and the problems with it

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Stealth-technology makes a fighter or attack plane invisible in the electromagnetic sensors and even for the human eye, and this is the thing, what makes it a problematic thing in the field of the conflicts. The survivability of the stealth-plane is very good, but there is one thing, which makes it a very bad threat to peace.

It leaves the enemy in the best scenarios an only a couple of seconds to react and the fast, tactical stealth fighter-bomber, what uses nuclear weapons is the most destructive threat, what can be imagined. And there are many countries, what have those aircraft or missiles. The idea of stealth technology is that it would make aircraft or another unit unable to detect, and it gives the stealth unit possible to surprise the normal vehicle.

In some theoretical ideas, the tanks would be made by using the same glass, what is used in the windows of the spacecraft. That would make a tank or other vehicle transparent and in some "mad ideas" the entire vehicle would be made by using this super hard class, and in theory, even the armaments and motors could be made by using artificial diamonds, what makes it fully transparent and extremely hard.

In Sweden is developed the layer, what looks like some kind of floor tiles, and those screen-tiles are giving an image, what comes back from the vehicle. This makes vehicle acting as it would be transparent. If the vehicle would be equipped with a cooling system, what decreases the temperature from the outer layer, and the engines would be properly isolated by using properly isolators, the infrared would not detect that vehicle.

And of course, the exhaust gases should be cooled, and the smell of those gases can be removed because that makes stealth vehicles impossible to detect. So stealth can protect aircraft, tanks and other vehicles, as well as tents and individual soldiers, what can be covered by the active stealth canvas, what makes a person or tent unable to detect. So in some scenarios the "predators from the draconian dynasty" use only stealth suits, what is working in a similar way as the Bofors system, what makes vehicles impossible to seen by human eye.
