Maybe they shot 1 down. And yes mistakes were made. One of the big ones also being lack of a jammer aircraft. For whatever reason they were’t in the sky that night.Keep in mind our USAF isn't the sharpest tack. They ran the same flight plan for days for the F-117 which is the primary reason it got shot down. If we're stupid enough to not use the tactics for which it was designed, we'll lose both F-35 and F-22 which would be a MASSIVE fuck up.
F-117 also flew around 800 sorties,around 450 of them were successful.
Pilot survived. Thats not too shabby given the environment they were flying in.
