Does anyone know if old-fashioned kill marks (like those applied to the Israeli F-15s in the link) could still be used on RAM-coated stealth fighters?

Are you implying that Stealth Fighters will never see live combat?

Yes they can. For anyone that really knows how a ram coating works, its not the surface so to say but a complete electical bonding sorta thing. Well thats the way it was explaned to me in RAM school.

In simple terms, yes. There are plenty of other markings on the acft that would not impede it's stealth characteristics. Without too much detail, RAM coatings convert radio frequencies into heat energy. A simple coat of paint for a logo would not change this.

Seeing this picture makes me think of a new way to say the old joke:
The IDFAF, the biggest distributor of Syrian Mig parts in the world!
