    Stealth prevents the seeing it.

    No it doesn’t.

    Also F-35 can be seen by radar as well. Especially from the rear and sides. Just harder than older gen planes.

    Heat seeking missiles have been a thing for a long time, and they will continue being a thing in the future. Because they are effective.
