Question about terminology
I’ve just started reading the book ‘How to build an aircraft carrier’ by Chris Terrill. The book starts with the author embedded in Afghanistan with the Royal Marines pinned down and getting air support from FAA Harriers. The radio exchange is written as follows:
“Recoil, TIC [troops in contact], danger close, request rockets and immediate attack, my initials MS, marking position with smoke.”
“MS copied, my initials NG”
I was wondering if someone could decode the terminology he describes in the book? Especially the, “my initials”, part?

Just how stealthy are modern stealth aircraft?
I know it’s about radar cross section reduction rather than true ‘invisibility’, but what would the chances be of a modern aircraft like the B-2, B-21, F-22, F-35 or Su-57 being able to penetrate into enemy airspace, achieve their target, and then get out again without detection? Or is it more a case of ‘I saw you first, bang you’re dead’?
