Do you think the Egyptair crash was a terrorist attack?

You do know what stealth aircraft are designed for, Don't you?

Not been detected by radar, Damage.

I highly doubt the Americans (as they are the only ones with an operational stealth aircraft at the moment) decided to blow an Egyptian A320 out of the sky.

There's evidence coming out that there was a fire on board. However what this was caused by and how accurate this information is still unknown.

How do we not know some other country has these technology's and has kept them secret.

I could say the second to you about how do we know that little green men from Mars in an invisible UFO didn't decide to blow it up?

I don't think there's anything wrong with looking at different angles but then trying to make up wild theories & bending information (or the lack of information in this case) to fit your theory isn't exactly constructive.

We have never seen evidence of green men from Mars.

But we do know Stealth Technology exists, Stealth Technology has been around since the end of WW2, It's quite likely that by now some country apart from the USA has developed a system capable of carrying out firing a missile at a plane undetected.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or genuinely believe a stealth aircraft was used. What would be the motive to shoot down a passenger plane?

I sometimes think popular culture & the manufacturers of stealth technology overstate it's a effectiveness. It isn't a magic technology that makes you completely invisible to radar all the time.
It can reduce your Radar Cross Section (RCS) down to the point where you're invisible at long ranges but at short range a powerful radar can still pick you up. You also have to take into account that while your aircraft can be is very difficult to detect from the front, the sides & rear of the aircraft are usually far less stealthy (designing a stealth aircraft involves a lot of compromise).
Then there's the weapon bays - the moment you fire the missile your aircraft becomes visible on radar if only for a few seconds as the inside of the weapons bays are not very low observable. Obviously you can't carry your missiles on the wing pylons or you've massively increased your RCS & would be detected. The aircraft also wouldn't have been able to rely on external fuel tanks as they're unstealthy meaning it's range would be very limited (& you'd easily spot something like a tanker operating in the vicinity on radar).
Then there's the logistics - stealth aircraft are very expensive to buy & operate. I've heard rumors that the F-22 has to be repainted after every flight (I'm not sure how true that is but sources out on the Internet put operating costs at about $70,000 per every hour of flight which is bloody expensive). The bases stealth aircraft usually operate out of are large, well equipped & difficult to hide.

We've had recently some problem flights in SE Asia (not terrorist), the Ukrane incident (not terrorist - state), the Russian plane (terrorist) , the suicide pilot france (not terrorist).

Its possible that its terrorist, but also statistically high chance its not (from previous incidents). We simply do not know.

Or technical failure possibly?

Russian plane terrorist? wasnt it a fault by the pilots?

Irre****inlevant.

ISIS have been slaughtering ("true" Muslims in Syria and Iraq for years now.

True, but I just think it's unlikely.

In today's climate it's extremely likely it's a terrorist attack.

ISIS has the motive: hating the West, hating tourists, hating Egypt, blowing up planes before, wanting to severe Egypt's tourist industry, etc...

You've provided zero reasons as to why it's "unlikely".

Unlikely as most of the passengers were Muslim, more than 50%, I also doubt Terrorists could have easily boarded the plane on an Egyptair specially after they have just had the Russian plane incident.

lol what. why on earth would that make a difference? have you not heard of ISIS?

Even if it was terrorism, I think we can safely say it had nothing to do with Islam. I mean just look at that white guy who crashed that plane one time. I'd say its likely to be the IRA or maybe just some radical fundamentalist Christian group.
