Escapou ileso e foi resgatado por um grupo CSAR da USAF, acho que num CH-47 Chinook.

How to Take Down an F-117

November 21, 2005: The Serbian battery commander, whose missiles
downed an American F-16, and, most impressively, an F-117, in 1999,
has retired, as a colonel, and revealed many of the techniques he
used to achieve all this. Colonel Dani Zoltan, in 1999, commanded
the 3rd battery of the 250th Missile Brigade. He had search and
control radars, as well as a TV tracking unit. The battery had four
quad launchers for the 21 foot long, 880 pound SA-3 missiles. The SA-
3 entered service in 1961 and, while it had undergone some upgrades,
was considered a minor threat to NATO aircraft. Zoltan was an
example of how an imaginative and energetic leader can make a big
difference. While Zoltan's peers and superiors were pretty
demoralized with the electronic countermeasures NATO (especially
American) aircraft used to support their bombing missions, he
believed he could still turn his ancient missiles into lethal
weapons. The list of measures he took, and the results he got,
should be warning to any who believe that superior technology alone
will provide a decisive edge in combat. People still make a big
difference. In addition to shooting down two aircraft, Zoltan's
battery caused dozens of others to abort their bombing missions to
escape his unexpectedly accurate missiles. This is how he did it.

--- Zoltan had about 200 troops under his command. He got to know
them well, trained hard and made sure everyone could do what was
expected of them. This level of quality leadership was essential,
for Zoltan's achievements were a group effort.

--- Zoltan used a lot of effective techniques that American air
defense experts expected, but did not expect to encounter because of
poor leadership by the enemy. For example, Zoltan knew that his
major foe was HARM (anti-radar) missiles and electronic detection
systems used by the Americans, as well as smart bombs from aircraft
who had spotted him. To get around this, he used landlines for all
his communications (no cell phones or radio). This was more of a
hassle, often requiring him to use messengers on foot or in cars.
But it meant the American intel people overhead were never sure
where he was.

--- His radars and missile launchers were moved frequently, meaning
that some of his people were always busy looking for new sites to
set up in, or setting up or taking down the equipment. His battery
traveled over 100,000 kilometers during the 78 day NATO bombing
campaign, just to avoid getting hit. They did, and his troops knew
all that effort was worth the effort.

--- The Serbs had spies outside the Italian airbase most of the
bombers operated from. When the bombers took off, the information on
what aircraft they, and how many, quickly made it to Zoltan and the
other battery commanders.

--- Zoltan studied all the information he could get on American
stealth technology, and the F-117. There was a lot of unclassified
data, and speculation, out there. He developed some ideas on how to
beat stealth, based on the fact that the technology didn't make the
F-117 invisible to radar, just very to get, and keep, a good idea of
exactly where the aircraft was. Zoltan figured out how to tweak his
radars to get a better lock on stealth type targets. This has not
been discussed openly.

--- The Serbs also set up a system of human observers, who would
report on sightings of bombers entering Serbia, and track their
progress.

--- The spies and observers enabled Zoltan to keep his radars on for
a minimal amount of time. This made it difficult for the American
SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) to use their HARM missiles
(that homed in on radar transmissions.) Zoltan never lost a radar to
a HARM missile.

--- Zoltan used the human spotters and brief use of radar, with
short range shots at American bombers. The SA-3 was guided from the
ground, so you had to use surprise to get an accurate shot in before
the target used jamming and evasive maneuvers to make the missile
miss. The F-117 he shot down was only 13 kilometers away.

Zoltan got some help from his enemies. The NATO commanders often
sent their bombers in along the same routes, and didn't make a big
effort to find out if hotshots like Zoltan were down there, and do
something about it. Never underestimate your enemy.

Com um caça stealth, até um macaco pilotando pode acertar o alvo se souber o caminho...

Acho que os americanos não tinham dado a cota de banana do piloto naquele dia
