Prvo zvanično priznanje Amerikanaca o pogodku drugog F-117A?
The Facebook page of the official US Air Force museum may have „committed news“ this morning.
The National Museum of the US Air Force publishes a daily historical factoid. Today’s perhaps adds a new wrinkle to the official history of the Kosovo air war 12 years ago. See below:
The shoot-down of one F-117 has been always been acknowledged by the USAF, but I do not remember an official acknowledgement that a second aircraft was damaged on the same day (although I have heard the rumours).

I don't think it happened on the same day and the SAM was probably fired blindly. From my contact with an engineer who worked on the F-117 FLIR system, Serbian aircraft flew very close to the F-117 without being aware of its location.

This is the first time I hear about SAF planes flying near the Nighthawk.
Any more details on that?

What you wrote is incorrect. It is not possible to fire a missile without target on the radar, because the system will not blindly fire a rocket. It would be possible if the plane is floating … But pro speed of 800km per hour, to predict the path of something that you do not see is impossible.

Allegedly, one of the MiG 29s was very close to a F117 prior to being shot down by an USAF F15 without picking it up or knowing of F117 position.
There is even a reinaction of this dogfight on the History Chanel Dogifights series stating and showing that few AMRAAMs were virtually flying over the cockpit of F117 before shooting down the MiG.
