The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a retired American single-seat, subsonic twin-engine stealth attack aircraft developed by Lockheed's secretive Skunk Works division and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). It was the first operational aircraft to be designed with stealth technology. The F-117 was based on the Have Blue technology demonstrator. The Nighthawk's maiden flight took place in 1981 at Groom Lake, Nevada, and the aircraft achieved initial operating capability status in 1983. The aircraft was shrouded in secrecy until it was revealed to the public in 1988. Of the 64 F-117s built, 59 were production versions, with the other five being prototypes. The F-117 was widely publicized for its role in the Gulf War of 1991. Although it was commonly referred to as the "Stealth Fighter", it was strictly an attack aircraft. F-117s took part in the conflict in Yugoslavia, where one was shot down by a surface-to-air missile (SAM) in 1999. The U.S. Air Force retired the F-117 in April 2008, primarily due to the fielding of the F-22 Raptor.[4] Despite the type's official retirement, a portion of the fleet has been kept in airworthy condition, and Nighthawks have been observed flying since 2009.[5] AVIONICS The F-117 has quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire flight controls. To lower development costs, the avionics, fly-by-wire systems, and other systems and parts were derived from the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, and McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle. The parts were originally described as spares in budgets for these aircraft, to keep the F-117 project secret.[citation needed] The aircraft is equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack systems integrated into a digital avionics suite. It navigates primarily by GPS and high-accuracy inertial navigation. Missions are coordinated by an automated planning system that can automatically perform all aspects of an attack mission, including weapons release.[44] Targets are acquired by a thermal imaging infrared system, paired with a laser rangefinder/laser designator that finds the range and designates targets for laser-guided bombs. The F-117's split internal bay can carry 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) of ordnance. Typical weapons are a pair of GBU-10, GBU-12, or GBU-27 laser-guided bombs, two BLU-109 penetration bombs, or two Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) GPS/INS guided stand-off bombs. COMBAT OVER YUGOSLAVIA Main article: 1999 F-117A shootdown Canopy of F-117 shot down in Serbia in March 1999 at the Museum of Aviation in Belgrade One F-117 (AF ser. no. 82-0806) was lost to enemy action. It was downed during an Operation Allied Force mission against the Army of Yugoslavia on 27 March 1999.[56] The aircraft was acquired by a fire control radar at a distance of 8.1 mi (13 km) and an altitude of 5.0 mi (8 km). SA-3s were then launched by a Yugoslav version of the Soviet Isayev S-125 "Neva" (NATO name SA-3 "Goa") anti-aircraft missile system.[56][57][58] The launcher was run by the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defence Missile Brigade under the command of Colonel Zoltán Dani.[59] After the explosion, the aircraft became uncontrollable, forcing the pilot to eject.[56] The pilot was recovered six hours later by a United States Air Force Pararescue team.[56][60] The stealth technology from the downed F-117 may have been acquired by Russia and China.[61] The U.S. did not attempt to destroy the wreckage; senior Pentagon officials claimed that its technology was already dated and no longer important to protect.[28] American sources state that a second F-117 was targeted and damaged during the campaign, allegedly on 30 April 1999.[62][63] The aircraft returned to Spangdahlem base,[63] but it supposedly never flew again.[64][65] The USAF continued using the F-117 during Operation Allied Force.[66]
Serbians, the biggest Putin admirers in the world. They shot it down by pure coincidence, but yet they're gonna boast about it until the end of the world. So lame... 🤣😂😁
Sonic booms are no issue for stealth. I consider the lancer an early stealth bomber because it could come in slow drop a payload big enough to blow a hole and create the lakes for the U.A.E. and then fly away really fast. I was a kid when I first realized it because of watching the bombing of Baghdad on TV. You saw a shit ton of explosions and then the anti aircraft guns going off but by then the lancer was landing
@@epicspaces9434 no, any fighter capable of firing bvr (beyond visual range) missiles would need a radar, thus increasing its cross section, thus making it less stealthy. that would defeat the entire purpose of the nighthawk, a stealthy bomber.

The F-117 is a distinctive looking fighter jet. The multi-panel structure is unique. If the F-117 was shot down by Russian radar guided missiles then its radar-stealth capability cannot justify its aerodynamic dynamic instability. The multi-panel structure slows the fighter jet down and makes it less maneuverable. If you look at the F-22 and the F-35 these new stealth fighter jets clearly have abandoned the multi-panel design. Which brings into question if the Russian mathematician (Pyotr Ufimtsev) theories on radar avoidance have any validity. Only the US have enough resources to actually build something a crazy Russian mathematician dreamed up. Maybe it was a crazy Russian decoy the KGB thought up to get the Americans to waste time, effort, and money building something that had no advantage. What the KGB did not know was that the Americans were crazy enough to build a functional F-117. But the new F-22 and F-35 prove that not even American money nor American ingenuity can transform a KGB decoy into a fighter jet with real advantages.
The Nighthawk was generally a failure. The shoot down of a Nighthawk in Yugoslavia doomed it as U.S. analysts realized long wavelength radar could see it. It was not retired for cost savings as we immediately embarked on the joint strike fighter program which resulted in an ineffective and problem-ridden F-35, the most expensive military project in history. Further advances in scanning radar technology also played a role in its retirement unlike what so many fake U.S. military propaganda sites like the National Interest claim. The F-117 was a toxic, embarrassing failure, so the Pentagon cut its losses. The biggest military contribution of the Nighthawk was flying over Super Bowl events and parades.

Learn how to actually read and spell before you comment next time. I don't know the country "surbia" but if you are referring to Serbia, then you also clearly have no clue about what you are talking about. It didn't "fall down" it was shot-down by enemy fire because of extreme Serbian luck. The RADAR used was totally unable to detect the F-117 until the bomb-bay doors were opened. It was then fired upon by a missile guided by the 'anti-stealth' Soviet Radar set.
