oh, and yes those "black birds" had 400lbs of radar absorbent paint! and yes it does work, they did indeed fly deep into China.

No matter how much radar absorbent paint you put on, a look down radar will spot a plane from above due to the large wing surface that is visible to the radar.
Radar cross section is measured by the amount of radar energy bouncing back to the source.
From the frontside, the surface space is relatively small compared to the large wing surface you can see from above.

and finally Lezt No relation ship to the afore mentioned Kozlov PS. It was a dead end. And as to the Ultralights, what could they do? I mean out of a James bond movie they offer little for payload at best small arms and can be destroyed by the same small arms. Although one or two over flew a position all it would have taken was a Ma Duce gunner to flatten them.
Their range is very short so they cannot go very far and they can't carry more then a man or two making them lousy transports.

TE, I don't disagree with you that it is a dead end. But the title of the thread is:
Stealth:The History and Future of LO Aviation.

Te Kozlov PS is definitely a part of the history.

What can an ultralight do?

Lets imagine this, had those ultralight been spraying say VX nerve gas like a crop duster, 20 KG have the potential to kill 20,000 person and contaminate the area for days. even if the unit is NBC ready, they would be decontaminated for weeks. i.e. mission killed
