Chinese Researchers Reveal Active Stealthy Material (popsci.com)

Chinese researchers came to the rescue and created a material just 5/16 of an inch thick that can safeguard stealth planes against UHF detection. The material tunes itself to a range of detection frequencies, protecting against a large swath of radar scans. What's even more amazing? They published this seemingly top secret invention wide open in the Journal of Applied Physics .

    Of course they don't include them in the territory of the USA. That would be economically disadvantageous. They just set up the puppet governments that do the US bidding.

    Care to check the debt Iraq has to the USA? All these refineries rebuilt in place of the bombed ones? Who authorized the loan?
