USP 5°part F117 Night Hawk ENG

[bhigr]

The F117 has been retired, because it can be detected by radar and is not stealthy enough. The B2 is now performing its role.

[dsahsdouga]

serbs shot one down

[riflebore]

@dsahsdouga : Yeah, AND NO OTHER NATION would have known of Stealth Technology if not for that. Other nation's military forces are cheap copy cats. They simply do not have ANY brain to design and engineer an ORIGINAL. Does'nt it make you wonder why they didn't bomb the crashed F117 that time? They said, because there were civilians around... I don't think that was the case, the US can destroy anything anytime anywhere if it were too confidential.

The USA has something new again. SIMPLE!

[maugustyniak]

@riflebore Oh you're funny. The F-117, as impressive as it is, is based directly off russian design work in the 60s: they didn't have the computers to fly it yet. As for "cheap copycats" WOAH! guess you're trying to imply that with 1.3 billion Chinese and 180 million Russians, statistically they couldn't find anyone to design advanced aircraft. As well, the F-117's been flying around since 1977-early 80s, it's not new. Looks like the F-117's alot smarter than your reply to that serbian guy.

[riflebore]

@maugustyniak : I'll give it a laugh! 1970's and we do have the F117 already - combat ready, thank you. Oh, the F117's alot smarter than me? Sure, no prob, well, thanks again... We already have a supercomputer. Thanks again for acknowledging that. You're the best, buddy, 'cause you just admitted YOUR technology sucks. We have 187 Raptors, battle ready and decided to stop it. You're still working on your Sukhoi PAK Fuck... while we already have something new on the drawing boards. LOSER!

[riflebore]

@maugustyniak : Oh and here's more, if you do claim you have Stealth technology earlier in the 60's... You guys suck you can't fly one BECAUSE you didn't have a computer to run one. Let alone a calculator, I guess, HA HA.

1.3 Billion Chinese and 180 million Russians and you can't find one to design an advanced aircraft... well, I'm sorry to hear that, guess you're all mentally incapable. The US has its military, and we still have the entire nation shining with more ideas.

[riflebore]

@maugustyniak : And lastly, the USA has a fully capable and combat ready Stealth fighter whose development began in the 70's as you stated. Well, too bad, your first true capable Stealth fighter worked out just recently. Slow as ever. Read this, as it shows here, that it took you other nations a hundred years before you can have a stealth fighter up and working: /tacstrat.com/content/?p=5211

Too late, a-hole... We have a sixth-gen fighter at the works. Just pilot a prop-plane LOSER

[maugustyniak]

@riflebore You're such a living stereotype. "You guys", I'm not even Russian, or Chinese. Merely stating the fact that your dumb ass can't live with the fact that stealth wasn't developed by the US, and is a direct descendent of the soviets, and your retarded, typically neocon knee-jerk paranoid recation of calling other nation's products as cheap copycats. You monkeys would have never developed the F117 without Soviet theory AND the PAK FA, J-20 are not cheap copies. You sound a little inbred.

[riflebore]

@maugustyniak : Well, stereotype, inbred, call me whatever, any choice you want... if that's how you see me and the fact you got pissed... well too bad, you lost again. Just post some links and resources PROVING that stealth technology, was INSPIRED (okay, if you hate COPY) by Russian Technology...

Oh, and I like it calling me a monkey... You're lower than my level now by getting pissed... How about calling me a germ cell too. You can't piss me, while your wetting your pants & crying to mama

[hotpocketpoison]

@dsahsdouga serbs shot down an F-117 that had its bomb bay door stuck open, meaning that F-117 had an EXTREMELY high RCS, higher than most regular planes thanks to the malfunction, so the serbs did absolutely NOTHING special. it would be better to do research before you comment...just a thought.

[pnickel511]

honestly imagine what plane we have right now flying around that we wont know about atleast 5 to ten years from now thats sick to mee of the unknowing lol!

[VMFA115Starloric]

Wasn't the F117 retired?

[mackyboyEMO]

yeah... too bad it was retired last April 22, 2008...

[yabodmon]

@mackyboyEMO go slit ur wrists

[mackyboyEMO]

@yabodmon  Ladies First..........

[Phishyness]

err...did the commentator just call this the stealthbomber?

[SkullKing11841]

@Phishyness it is a bomber

[SkullKing11841]

@Phishyness when the u.s brought it out it they called it a fighter to confuse the soviets that they had the problem of a stealth fighter and not a bomber. and it still working today people still call it a fighter

[humpingbird]

Overrated, overhyped, underpowered, limited payload and shot down by a Cold War era SAM over Serbia.

Ha Ha Ha.

[SkullKing11841]

@humpingbird that SAM in Serbia was modified to use low frequency. if u use low frequency can see and lock onto stealthed aircraft. but cause there is so much clutter and other low frequency things in the sky its almost impossible for the radar to get a sold lock. that SAM in Serbia got lucky. if you could clean up all that other static and clutter and all that other shit you could lock onto stealthed aircraft. thing is no one has been able to do it because theres just so much shit.

[AmaLeniter24]

Its not a stealth bomber

[Airsoft9eleven]

Mr. B-2 spirit ?

[matthew181]

stealth is a relitive term this plane is 'invisible' from one direction with ground radar. if the radar is abouve the plane then the reflection given by the ground would create a black hole where the plane must be. also if the plane is in between two or more fround radars then its fairly easy with some cooperation to get a fix on its loacation. failing all that, slap on an infared camera and watch hot gas trail in the cold night sky lol. stealth is an overused term.

[Arcipara]

"I see stelt planes!"

Serbian radars

[AcaRainski]

Yep, Serbs manage to shot down this plane with radar guided missiles form 60's.

[darkj3am]

well its not 100% invisible u know^^ so there is a chance that u can see it from far ... sheooooooos boom dead

[SkullKing11841]

@AcaRainski that SAM in Serbia was modified to use low frequency. if u use low frequency can see and lock onto stealthed aircraft. but cause there is so much clutter and other low frequency things in the sky its almost impossible for the radar to get a sold lock. that SAM in Serbia got lucky. if you could clean up all that other static and clutter and all that other shit you could lock onto stealthed aircraft. thing is no one has been able to do it because theres just so much shit.

[AcaRainski]

that SAM was not modified. After almost 11 years, commander of that SAM unit, admit that he didn't modified radar, or the targeting radar. He was just fooling around NATO generals.

And they were not lucky. They were professionals.

However, after, "democratic" changes in Serbia, in 2000. And installing US puppet government, people responsible for Shooting down F-117 were retired.

The fact that only two NATO aircraft hit the ground in Serbia, doesn't mean that only 2 aircraft were shot down...

[SkullKing11841]

@AcaRainski I haven't herd that before and that sounds more like a conspiracy theory.If they could operate a SAM system then they are professionals and if they did modified the SAM that means they were very fucking good. I can understand if they didn't modified it because an F117 very close to a SAM site can be seen but it is the size of a small ball. Ether using low frequency or normal frequency to shoot down an F117 you still have to get lucky to hit it. Do u mean were hit but didnt go down.

[AcaRainski]

@SkullKing11841 It sounds more like you're only watching USA self-praise documentaries...

F-117 maybe have a radar cross-section like a small ball, only form certain angles. And that is under question... when open bomb bay, or when he start targeting from 4000m, or...

Ask yourself, NATO increase forces from 600 to ~1400 aircraft by the end of the war, and they predicted to destroy YU army in 2 weeks. Achievements after 78 days?

Yup, hit by not go down. Like A-10, it's very tough plane...

[SkullKing11841]

@AcaRainski  it would be at the right angel its radar cross section is the size of a small ball and at its worst it still would be smaller than it actual size. stealthed planes dont fly straight in they still try and avoid radar. one of the reasons it took longer than expected was they thourt they weren't as organized as they were. 2 planes were shot down (F117 , F16), 1 F16 damaged 30 UAVs shot down ,NATO won, Yugoslavia withdrew. the extra time they were there i dont think matters

[AcaRainski]

@SkullKing11841 Smaller, but not invisible. They need to enter areas covered with SAM.

If F-117 didn't fell in Serbia, but succeed to cross border and fell in example, Croatia, do you think that they will tell us about destroyed F-117?

Also few damaged A-10... and...

Great A-10 and tank killer AH-64, destroyed ~5 tanks from 500-600pcs, during 78days, on 30 x 30 miles area?

US weaponry is not so good, as you see on TV. And it is not luck when someone else than US military have success...

[SkullKing11841]

@AcaRainski i no stealth planes aren't invisible. no i was saying that it was luck that a low frequency RADAR scored a hit on a plane with a SAM. and it was a NATO operation, it wasn't just America. so what if they destroyed 5 tanks there's a lot of other targets to be hit not just tanks. the U.S made JDAM had a 98.7% hit ratio that good weaponry to me. the u.s has great weaponry but so does Russia Germany, France and so on.

[AcaRainski]

@SkullKing11841 U see, they destroyed it after 4 days of war. Maybe you are engineer... so, up, what freq. is stealth visible?

The point, unit that destroyed F-117 didn't have single loss. They were operating from plains, no hills, no mountains. They were good, and they succeed.

NATO was successful in destroying houses, centers of towns, maternity hospitals, TV stations...

So what other targets?

[chadloz]

@AcaRainski welll there was one loss of the stealth. "One F-117 has been lost in combat with the Army of Yugoslavia. On 27 March 1999, during the Kosovo War", right off wikipedia. it was all over the news back home when it happend. the only reason why it was shot down was because they used the same flight patter a the mission before so they created a pattern.

[AcaRainski]

@chadloz Funny and so ignorant... OK, so after 3 days since agression started, Yugoslav defence learn the patter of F-117 bombing missions and shot downed it on 4th night (so we were able to se it from beginin')? Belgrade air defence were cca 20 miles diameter from center of city... same flight patter... what? Closing on Belgrade to drop bombs?

[doryanishayan]

one of these shot down in serbia by a radar guided missile.

[urbanassasin13]

Its a fighter-bomber, primarily bombing first and being a hi-altitude fighter going after slow targets ie cargo planes, awacs etc. same operating ceiling as the U-2 over 80,000 ft.

[jawehawk]

Can anyone explain to my why it's called the F-117 stealth fighter? Isn't it only used for precision bombing misssions?

[kirkjamestkirk]

Good question ! The answer would be too long : something funny from wikipedia: "A recent televised documentary quoted a senior member of the F-117A development team as saying that the top-notch fighter pilots required to fly the new aircraft were more easily attracted to an "F" plane, as opposed to a "B" or "A" aircraft" HAHAHAHA They got owned

[jawehawk]

nice (: Thanks for the info.

[nickcars100]

as a deception

[SkullKing11841]

@jawehawk when the u.s brought it out it they called it a fighter to confuse the soviets that they had the problem of a stealth fighter and not a bomber. and it still working today people still call it a fighter

[redwatermelons]

I have to sell a part of the caoting. From the plane which was shot down in Serbia in the 1990s.

Leave a message on my page.

[dusq123]

Great plane. Great video. thanks uploader.

[javidok]

hey guys do you know the name of the song that sounds at the beginning¿?

[mcfurley]

nice plane

[yousini]

i love the look of this one since i was a kid playing microprose f117 sim hehe

[ltcurry]

Yeah it got shot down in daylight by a manual 4 barrel .50 cal antiaircraft gun spitting out 1,000 rounds a minute, at about 500 ft. and 250 knots. Not doing what it was designed to do unfortunateley. There was no radar lock, no infared. Just a lucky shot.

[tumquant]

what performanc can it do? only flaying?

[NikolaAU]

lol it got shot down.

[armyboy57]

this plane is so awsome! i cnt belive it was retired!

[sisutrucks]

nowdays this is a sitting duck.

[theGoldenAgeOfBoredo]

more than a sitting duck..its very easy to kill,and it cant defend itself,nor is it fast enough.

Its the first generation of stealth fighters,so by now it can be detected easely.

weve learned of its mistakes and look at the F22, F35 and B2 nowadays..

[alchyfire]

yea but back in the day it it was nice to have haha, but yea its pretty much just a fish in a fishbowl

[theGoldenAgeOfBoredo]

back then,yes,it was revolutionary..

[AcaRainski]

@armyboy57 that technology were compromised in 1999 year by SAM system from 60's. And it was not awesome...
