I doubt they could keep it secret. You never know though. These days invisible aircraft won't give much advantage anyway. They need invisibility uniforms - or something like what the aliens wore in Predator. That would be fucking scary to go up against if you were some afghani tribal jihadist or something.Quote:

Sure. If you're hiding in a cave or bunker somewhere and you get hit with one of those? Boom. Its done.Quote:

I still like the idea of Thor's Hammer, aka kinetic bombardment from orbit :)Quote:
