US Navy's High-Resolution Radar Can See Individual Raindrops In a Storm

>Doppler radar can actually spot individual raindrops in a cloudburst,

A raindrop, you say? Like what, a big one? Ok, that's 5mm across for the largest type. From here: http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/IgorVolynets.shtml [hypertextbook.com]

It's only a matter of time that other countries develop "weather radar" as pinpoint as this.

The F22 and F35 radar cross sections have been compared to a metal marble and a metal golf ball, respectively. Their "stealth technology" has just been rendered obsolete.
