Interesting, especially these lines:

"A Yugoslav Army 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade 3rd battery equipped with S-125 system managed to shoot down an F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber on March 27, 1999 during the Kosovo War (the only recorded downing of a stealth aircraft) near village Budjanovci, about 130 milles away from Kosovo. It was also used to shoot down a NATO F-16 fighter on May 2 (its pilot; Lt. Col David Goldfein, the commander of 555th Fighter Squadron, managed to eject and was later rescued by a combat search-and-rescue (CSAR) mission.[5][6]"

The quality of the missile shows why Israel had little choice but take out the launchers before they arrived in Syria. Why someone in the Obama Administration believed they needed to share this information with the public is beyond reason, in my book. Does Obama hate Israel?
