Not really though, stealth aircraft often put an incentive on front/side aspect, it’s the entire purpose of the edges that “cut” the planes in half horizontally.
A sphere has a consequent radar return because it presents a perpendicular surface no matter where you look at it from. On the other hand, stealth aircraft are designed to have no perpendicular surface from most aspects, instead they deflect radiations with very sloped surfaces

Bullpups your Su-30.

Sorry no ruskie.

You still haven’t given me Russian lessons comrade.

If the elevation is increased to ±90 and it also gets the extra dispenser it will be quite the buff
