Funny thing is nobody can build one NOW that can equal the stealth of a 40 year old jet. Just imagine the capability of the B3 they are making now or the F-22 which itself is amazing and also almost 20 years old. They most likely have operation versions now of even newer aircraft we just don't get to know it. Hell they didn't reveal the f117 until desert storm 13 years after they were built.

serbs shot down your then 20 year old plane that had just debuted after iraq, with a russian missile from the 60-s...every single part was photographed, taken apart, analyzed and passed on left and right to any country that asked...the tech is not that cutting edge and others countries economies do not rely on invasion so much so nobody there was no need for others to build these offensive weapons...
