Stealth is just an adjunct to electronic warfare? – Europe's view

Bill Sweetman wrote in the latest issue of Jane’s that Europe and Russia regard stealth as “an adjunct to electronic warfare, rather than a stand-alone technology.” For instance EADS of Germany is one advocate of this, claiming that “the combination of reduced RCS with stand-off jamming can provide excellent protection.”

Is it just a poor man’s wordplay to conceal insurmountable difficulties they are experiencing in developing stealth technologies or is there some truth to it?

The title of the article is “THE FUTURE OF ADVANCED STEALTH – WORTH the COST?”
