Whoever may ping the other's RWR first , the locate , track and ultimately missile guidance has to be done by the radar itself and the more powerful radar will get to do those things considerably earlier...and will have the advantage.

Yes LPIing radars particularly when combined with LO platforms is an huge advantage.I hardly think F-18 series have low RCS....lower than F-15 or Su-27 perhaps but not at all LO compared to the other VLO platforms out there.
SU-30 has recieved RAM bandaid its RCS have been decreased by upto 4 times IIRC.

Wabpilot Sir,I didnt get what you meanst by silent launch?Do you mean LOAL?
