The F-117 was the first stealth-bomber
to be manufactured.
It was used during operation desert
storm for precision bombing with laser-guided-, and TV-guided bombs.
Because of its stealth capability
it can sneak trough the enemy radar, drop its ordnance and fly away without
beeing spotted.
Its odd shape makes all radar-waves
bounce off, and it therefore only have a little or no radar-signature.
Its not completely invisible on radar but very hard to spot.
