Description
27 March 1999, Yugoslavia, when the F-117 was shot down by a SA-3 SAM.
Not so stealth then, huh ? :P
I expected more bits and peices survived had survived the crash but apparently I was wrong. o_O
I found the source of the picture, and looked at other ones in the gallery, and this is what I found:

Is it just me or does this guy look exactly like Sergey Burkatovskiy from WarGaming? 0.0
@armedONE: If I recall correctly, some gypsies took away bunch of parts to sell as scrap metal xD
"Our F-117 was shot down because of an malfunction and not by Yugoslavs"
"How terrible"
"...some gypsies took away bunch of parts to sell as scrap metal xD "
And sold them to China to help them researching that J-20?
Nope. I know there were Russian military experts who were examining remains few days after the crash, so it may aided them in making the PAK-FA, but that remains mistery
"In 1999 during the NATO mission within Serbia, a single F-117 Nighthawk was shot down by a surface to air missile. Following the crash, Chinese agents were dispatched to recover parts from the wreckage."
