Stealth doesn't mean invisible or undetectable, it just means you can't shoot me before I can shoot you, ground based air defenses are already at a disadvantage due to the physics of shooting a missile from the ground vs shooting it from an flying platform, stealth multiplies that.

Low observability technology is not an on/off switch, all it does is reduce the range at which a plane can be effectively targeted by enemy ground air defense, from this information two things become immediately obvious, the plane can get close enough to hit targets while staying outside the enemy's effective range, but it's still vulnerable if it gets too close.
