Mais la définition du LRCA sera dominée par sa capacité de pénétration proprement dite. Or, seul un haut degré de discrétion radar, supérieur à ce que l'on peut escompter dans l'immédiat, peut rendre possible une pénétration à moyenne et haute altitude. 1, record 2, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9tration
