The Shape appears Stealthy!! But the Gaping opening @ the side suggests that the stealthiness might be nullified! Can anyone explain about this!?
Stealth is multi-spectral, you're over focussed on one aspect which might (or might not) affect radar cross section. The design of the Visby has been directed to minimising the optical and infrared signature, above water acoustic and hydroacoustic signature, underwater electrical potential and magnetic signature, pressure signature, radar cross section and actively emitted signals. I.e. a complete package.
