On the B-2 incident.
To this day (over 10 yrs later) Zoltan and his crew insist that they hit a B-2, however impossible it may sound.
The incident took place on the 20th of May 1999 at 00:11 hrs. 2 missiles were fired from fire position “Bechmen-3” on a target (azimuth 180 deg – distance 13 km).

Earlier we spoke about how the F-117 would’ve been engaged without the aid of a height finder. Here’s a brief description:
After the detection of a target, the officer in charge of the missile guidance starts a manual search for the target at the given azimuth and range. The radar antenna is moved left-right and vertically in 10 degree sequences. Once the target is found it’s placed on the vertical-horizontal marker and passed onto the missile operators for manual tracking.
Although this a more time consuming procedure, experienced crews could carry it out relatively quickly during the war.
After the first successful detection of a stealth target, the appearance, strength and unique fluctuation of the signal on the radar screen were known. A special code was assigned and was passed on to other units.
The 450th SAM Regiment based near the town of Kraljevo, south from the 125th Brigade, also detected stealth targets on several occasions but was not in a position to engage.

So in conclusion, to suggest that the F-117 shootdown was a fluke or that other stealth targets could not have been targeted is ridiculous!
