Karajou is one of the best busiest troll-destructor sysops at Conservapedia, as his method involves automatic blocking of users who may happen to live near where a previous suspect has left their mark; the drawback of this onslaught is a bit too much collateral damage.

Stealth technology, invented by Soviet Russian electrical engineer and mathematical physicist Pyotr Ufimtsev, makes an aircraft or ship difficult or impossible to detect by radar or other electronic detection systems. American engineers developed this new technology in the 1970s and several types of aircraft have been constructed using it. This minimizes the ability of enemies to shoot down the aircraft and capture or kill the pilots. Their radiation-absorbent material (RAM) coatings need to be reapplied every few missions, which takes large amounts of manpower and time. Once the coatings are gone, the planes are visible to radars.

Stealth technology makes use of the following approaches:

  • Reduction in radar cross-section (RCS) through clever shapes, anti-radar electronic signaling, radar-absorbing paint and non-metallic materials
  • Reduced visibility
  • Reduced acoustics
  • Hidden engines
  • Reduced radiofrequency (RF) emissions
