  • Canadian companies alledgedly played large roles in the development of the F-117 and the B-2, so we potentially have knowledge of weaknesses unannounced to the world.

    Russia/China have claimed multiple times that the frequencies they use on their tech defeat US stealth coatings, but personally I question their truthfulness.

    The only time I am aware of US tech fighting a peer was the defence of Kosovo, and the Serbs had no trouble shooting down an F-117. In the current Iran war, the US seems to only do sorties with overwelming airpower, so we don’t see stealth tech in action.





  • No. They were absolutely not. My Oma(Grandmother) was Dutch and lived through the occupation.

    As I was told growing up:

    They knew Jewish people were being attacked, but also, as it got closer to WW2, that they were increasingly being arrested and just vanishing. Local Jewish families started to flee Europe entirely, everyone knew that war was likely and that Netherlands would be invaded.

    One such family had a lawyer who was friends with my great-grandfather, but he also had a sick, elderly mother who couldnt make the trip to the US. My great grandfather sheltered them before the war started. They were turned in during the war by a neighbor. The lawyer and his mother died in the camps, the Nazis let my Great Grandfather out in a prisoner release(and tried to get the lawyer and Dutch jews out) that was the exchamge for using a local factory(which gave them intentionally faulty parts).

    My Oma’s family then joined the resistance.
