Because ancient radars in the VHF frequency light up stealth aircraft. Hell even wikipedia mentions this.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;P-18_radar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;P-18_radar</a><p>Increase the wavelength and triangulate with multiple P-18s and you have a very visible nice slow moving target.
