Posturing and psy-ops. It's likely an inflated figure.

Possibly, I’m not sure how stealthy the F22 was to begin with. Possible if the baseline single radar signature is next to nothing, the 60,000 figure is easier to produce.

The F22 is has the lowest radar cross section in the world as far as I'm aware, so... pretty stealthy.
