(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Can anyone confirm if this is true?

I am looking for the Russian word for stealth. Is it nevidimka? Is that the exact definition? and is it masculine or feminine?

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

stealth virus - virus-nevidimka (вирус-невидимка)

stealth - khitrost' (хитрость)

vtikhomolku (втихомолку) or taikom (тайком) or ukradkoi (украдкой)

to do something secretly or without smb.'s knowledge

Very quick reply too.

So khitrost' means stealth when it comes to a person? For example a person who hides in the shadows and tries to sneak up on people? My friend plays a game and he wants to make a rogue character with the name stealth.

thanks again.

The example from Russian dictionary:

Wild animals demand secrecy and a certain amount of stealth from the photographer. (Дикие животные требуют от фотографа скрытности и определенной доли хитрости)

Looks like khitrost' might be the perfect name then.

Thanks a million!
