I was happy to talk to you about the origin.
we will start again.
how does what happened in desert storm and yugoslavia prove stealth in air combat?
I actually want to learn, if you're the expert then please go ahead an tell me.
Yugoslavia is not so much of a real war. The serbs did not really want to engage, actually they tried hard not to.
Iraq on the other hand, was a proper war. Bagdad was one of the most heavily defended areas on the planet.
I have/had no respect for the iraqi air force as a fighting total, I have respect for some of their pilots, but their air force was bad.
That does not take away from the fact that Bagdad was one of the most heavily defended places on the planet.
What the F-117s did, with a combination of training, hard work, mission planning and ALWAYS a little bit of luck, will never happen again.
Had they been flying any other airplane they would have been cut to shreds ..
Have you looked at the attrition of coalition aircraft in the iraq war? Those SAMs were really doing their job.
imagine the US did not have the F-117, do you know how many pilots would have to fly into dead man's land ?
