I think most people know Stealth to mean invisible to Radar, not to the human eye. The F35 is obviously going to be seeable once you have human eyes on it. The idea is targeting systems and long range equipment would not pick it up. But Iran has proved that to be false it seems.

No, the engineers knew it would be visible like anything else, because they're not completely stupid. A lot of stuff still relies on radar, though, and other frequencies and tools can have limitations, like in range or "does-it-work-in-rain". Consider how many F-35s made it over Iran safe and sound.

Presumably they're as sneaky as possible in other ways as well, although at some point it's still a jet plane.
