Cheers for that story it is interesting as it has long been put forward that the biggest threat to a carrier group may well be a Kilo type sub running on batteries along a known route and it seems the Chinese did the same in this case with an equivalent sub.
If China or Russia become militarily stronger than the west

What?
Is isn't supposed to be stealthy - it's a fighter. Have you even bothered doing any research? How is it going to be shot down before it sees a threat? It's got one of the most advanced offensive and defensive electronics systems in the World:
The aircraft employs a sophisticated and highly integrated Defensive Aids Sub-System named Praetorian[99] (formerly called EuroDASS).[100] Threat detection is provided by a Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and a Laser Warning Receiver (LWR, only for UK Typhoons). Protection is provided by Chaff, Jaff and Flares, Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) and a Towed Radar Decoy (TRD).[101]
Praetorian monitors and responds automatically to the outside world. It provides the pilot with an all-round prioritised assessment of Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface threats. It can respond to single or multiple threats.
The aircraft also features an advanced ground proximity warning system based on the TERPROM Terrain Referenced Navigation (TRN) system used by the Panavia Tornado but further enhanced and fully integrated into the cockpit displays and controls
