This is getting to be OT, but a point should be made that IR tracking was
used by the US military more than 40 years ago. The stealth aircraft
reduces the heat signature along with the radar signature.

Stealth is a XX century technology, works against countries which still use
microwave radars. Developed countries use satellites with infrared sensors.
The heat from engine exhaust is still trackable. As I understand, there
should be many more methods to track stealth objects without using
radiowaves.
