  3. The coping is strong with you The shoot down was luck not skill The F-117 was not retired from combat service till 2008 As for the shoot down, the Serbs literally handed the US military multi billion-dollar gift horse and they thank you for that First , Serb defenses exposed the massive short comings with US military SEAD The EA-6B could loiter for hours, however its pedestrian speed 500 mph meant that it could not deal with time sensitive targets The Serb defenses kept popping on and off , and the by the time EA-6B got near, they were long gone The EU Tornado ECR had the speed and weapons but not the sensors like the EA-6B hence why the EA-18G was developed. An aircraft with all 3 Speed, weapons and sensors able to deal with time sensitive targets as well as off and on tactics that Serbs were using. Another short coming was lack of communication , SEAD aircraft could not effectively communicate target info to other assets that were closer than them Hence why link 16 was rolled out to every aircraft . Second, the AGM-88 required radars to be active for targeting. Fast forward to the AGM-88G. The G model is literally a mini cruise able to target anything fixed or moving even if the radar is off, the G model can switch to Active radar homing and zero in. Second fun fact is data linked so the missile can updated with target info The Serb force had plenty of in forest and only F-15E and F-16s with LANTRIN pods could locate them, Now every strike aircraft has either SNIPER or LITENING pods which means there is no more hiding Lastly as for stealth, why do you think , stealth programs are still active, not because the shoot down was skill but countries understood the mechanics of the shoot down and it was literally dumb luck.

  5.  @RudyRankov  Sure it was Nice copium there except fail to mention that F-35 were flying with their transponder on Any one could have tracked them Secondly the method they used wouldnt work in actual combat as EW would prevent such tracking Lastly in actual combat, radar and other sensors are always target number one but by all means cope harder

  6.  @RudyRankov  Only amazed by your copium

  7.  @RudyRankov  Here's fact if Stealth wasnt effective, then explain why the major players are still invested in The mechanics of the F-117 was completely understood by everyone except you
