History of the original

The F-117A Nighthawk, produced by the American conglomerate Lockheed Martin, was a groundbreaking combat aircraft used by the United States Air Force. It is recognized for its unique, irregular design, which significantly reduced radar detectability. The first units entered service in 1983, although the program was officially revealed only in 1988. This machine is famous for its participation in Operation Desert Storm (the Gulf War, 1991), where it effectively struck strategic targets deep within Iraqi territory. The F-117A was heavily used by the USA at the end of the Cold War and during the Allied Force military operation over Yugoslavia in 1999.
