Serbs destroyed "invisibility"
NATO officials in Brussels on March 27, 1999 for a long time could not recover. For the first time in the history of the combat operation of the "secret" US Air Force F-117A he was not only found Yugoslavian air defense radars, but also shot down in the sky, not far from Belgrade.
It was a heavy blow to the US military-industrial complex and the corporation "Lockheed". The Pentagon claimed that there was a technical error and "stealth aircraft" just crashed somewhere in the forests of Serbia. The US military has not acknowledged until November 25 that the F-117A was destroyed by a Soviet missile. Truth lies not only on ordinary Americans, but also from the many customers who have signed contracts with the "Lockheed". "Invisible" I was then very popular in the world. But to destroy the pride of the American aircraft industry, the machine cost about $ 50 million, was a Serbian anti-aircraft missile system with a brand «Made in USSR». And the first click on the "Start", Dragan Matic. Then he told me the details of the operation in detail:

"March 24, 1999, we left our military unit, where stationed, and moved to the area of the suburb of Belgrade. Three days spent relatively quiet. We worked on the team, the usual procedure, which we carried out on the instructions of our leader. The main thing - not to fall under the radar AWACS, which are usually accompanied by NATO planes. Especially such as F-117A. We stood near the village Shimanovtsy. March 27 in the evening our whole team was on duty. A colleague of the tracking service reported that there is considerable noise in the air. And every second of the signal closer to our position. Just 5 minutes radioprospecting gave that to our calculation is approaching the target. Our commander stared at the monitor and receive guidance signals intelligence. The goal was to us. We found it. I looked at the monitor and saw a clear signal to the target. We began to follow the goal, it was seen very clearly. I reported to the commander that the purpose of our devices is fixed and we are ready for its defeat. After the command "fire" after 17 seconds the target was hit by our missiles. The first missile tore "stealth" wing, and the second we shot down the plane itself. The pilot ejected and the plane crashed to the ground.
This is the fantasy of American engineers and pilots that F-117A - invisible. All the "stealth" technology ensure its "invisibility" only in the high-frequency radio. For radars operating at low frequencies, it is quite noticeable. Therefore, we spotted it in the 50 kilometers away and waited for him to pass by our calculation, to destroy.
Yes, it is weaker than the signal radiation than conventional aircraft, but it still appears on the radar screen. Maybe the pilot was wrong, it may be lost, but he was flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers and hit our target. We have brought down the terrible, a fantastic machine - the secret US Air Force. The pilot ejected, hiding in the woods. Five hours later a group of US special forces flew in several helicopters and took him. The next day it was on the basis of "Aviano", not far from Venice. When we were able to shoot down the plane, we immediately left the position, together with the technique. The faster peredislotsirueshsya, the more likely the entire calculation alive. So we did 24 times in the three months of aggression. And it saved our calculation. None of the teams did not hurt. While our air defense brigade were killed 9 people ».
After Dragan Matic and his comrades downed F-117A, the White House and the Pentagon appealed to the leadership of the FRY to return the wreckage of the plane, and all that's left of it, in the United States. But Belgrade, of course, refused. Now knit "Stealth" on display at the Museum of Aviation. Here we continued the conversation with Dragan Matic:
- Your payment worked well and smoothly. As Americans with their AWACS and the latest electronics Soviet missiles missed and substituting "Stealth" under attack?
- We defended their homeland and their duty. We too have been the target for us, too, we watched from American satellites have detected AWACS. And so we tried to avoid any signal on the air. If you're in the air or on the enemy radar for more than 20 seconds - you're already dead. Wait for "tomahawks", "cruise missiles" or some powerful bomb. My opinion on the "stealth"? They launched into production, to sell to its allies around the world. Machine insanely expensive - more than 50 million each instance. Many talked about these "stealth", but all this is advertising Pentagon. He did not have high-speed flight, he did not have a good defense and only two bombs on board. Another disadvantage of this "bird" - it flies very close to the goal. Only after that could deal a fatal blow.
- What other planes managed to hit your team?
- In the first days of aggression against Yugoslavia, NATO air forces began their attacks after 20.00. All aircraft were always on the same route. In the same way, and they were returning to their bases. We quickly realized this feature. Most of the aircraft fell into our sight for 40-50 kilometers from our position. American pilots and their NATO colleagues always adhere to the rules and clearly execute commands. There is a route, got a job, and they are a millimeter do not deviate from it. We read between the lines of their plans, and that saved us and our defenses. Our calculation was struck, but the first the F-117, another car. We have touched her, but she held on to Croatia and landed there. However, there is no official confirmation of this. This was the newspapers, was a photograph. It happened May 30. And before we shot down the F-16. The pilot was the commander of the squadron, which is specifically destroyed air defense system. Behind him a special group sent by helicopter to save such an important person. 4 helicopters and 10 aircraft provided support paratroopers. This pilot took part in "Operation Desert Storm" bombing the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was a very experienced pilot and reliable driver. But we managed to hit his legendary plane. On account of our team and the B-2. However, again there is no evidence. But our radioperehvatchiki recorded conversation between the pilot and the AWACS. The pilot shouted: "The rocket hit me, I need to be saved." He held on to Hungary. We fought and knocked the enemy - we have old equipment, and they have the most modern weapons, but we were smarter and show what we can do to fight back.
- Why, in your opinion, NATO went to war against Yugoslavia?
- First, to punish us for Kosovo. Secondly, to carry out a test of a new weapon in the specific field conditions. And also to get rid of its old stock to get a new one. Hundreds of billions of dollars later received US military industrial complex. The Pentagon has requested funds, and the government allocated them. On the territory of Yugoslavia, first tested a bomb in 2, 5 tons. Yugoslavia broke up in 1991-92 years. And we, the Serbs prevented the West, we need to break. They fought not against Milosevic, it was just a cover. They had to break people, destroy the country and take it under their control. That only is not thrown - depleted uranium, cluster bombs. Our land has become a testing ground on which NATO strategists experimented.
