F-117A NightHawk shot down by Serbs



Video description:
Only one F-117A NightHawk has been shot down in combat, and that was by the Serbian/Yugoslav forces. On March 27, 1999, during the Kosovo War, the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Missile Brigade under command of colonel Zoltán Dani, equipped with a 1960's vintage Soviet SA-3 Goa missile system, downed the F-117A with a Neva missile. According to Wesley Clark and other NATO generals, Yugoslav air defences tracked F-117 with old Russian radars operating on long wavelengths.... the Pentagon convinced the American public that the F-117 is "invisible" to radar. Evidently, Pentagon forgot to mention that to Yugoslav SAM operators.
