This is a normal post There is a rumour that that’s how come an F117 got downed over Kosovo.
Senior figures thought that “stealth” meant “invisible”, so one ended up flying in contested airspace in daylight. There’s no indication that it was seen on radar, but a local MiG pilot spotted it and made short work of shooting it down.

Interesting that account doesn't mention that the SAM battery was there because the F-117s had taken that route in and out of Serbia several times over the previous nights.
