Wood and cloth has a very low radar signature and if they are painted with radar absorbing paint, then it will be even less or non existent. And if the design is 'stealth', then it is win win.First:
Second, launch height and speed increase as the landing zone altitude increases. To land a heavy glider 50km into Tibetan plateau would require something like a 10-14,000m release height at over 500kmh. At that altitude and speed, the transport aircraft would be visible at long ranges, even if it were in its own territory.
In war, there is a thing called Deception Plan. False radio traffic, aircraft movement etc.
Therefore, the transport aircraft could be 'hidden' in that clutter!
