The Saudi Air Force has deployed top Typhoon jets, known for their maneuverability and speed, for the first time in the bombing campaign on Houthi positions in Yemen.
Only six countries in the world own Typhoon jets. They are Saudi Arabia, Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain and Britain. The Kingdom bought 72 in an $8-billion deal with Britain and has received 24, which were assembled in the country.
The deal includes training of Saudi pilots and technicians. Hundreds of qualified citizens have now been deployed to work on these planes. The first two were delivered to the King Fahd Airbase in Taif.
The Typhoon plane is equipped with the latest technology. It can take off quickly if needed, is highly maneuverable and cannot be detected on radar. It can carry 13 rockets, four under each wing and five under the fuselage. It can also carry cruise missiles and anti-ground defense systems.

and cannot be detected on radar.

I know you are just quoting a website, but no plane exists that cannot be detected on radar. Every plane can be detect on radar, the question is when. And the Typhoon engineers weren't exactly aiming for stealth when they built it, so that whole statement is false based on a false misconception.

Whilst the website is making a false statement, so is that. Whilst they were not aiming for stealth, they did include measures to reduce its frontal RCS which includes an active RCS management system.

True, but they weren't aiming for ultra-stealth elements, so the website's statement is bogus.
