A '''stealth fighter''' is a type of military [[airplane|aircraft]] designed to be harder to detect by [[radar]], or other detection methods. The first stealth fighter was the [[F-117]], first used secretly in [[Panama]] in 1989, and openly in the first [[Gulf War]], where it was the only aircraft permitted to conduct sorties over [[Baghdad]]. The F-117 cost about $500 million per copy, of which about 30 were built. The first time it came up against a modern Russian missile defense system in [[Serbia]] in 1998, it was shot down, rending its design and production obsolete.
