Sixteen years after it was shot down by Yugoslav air forces during the NATO bombing, the wreckage of a US stealth plane is still proudly displayed at the Belgrade Museum of Aviation.
Venezuelan F-16s also intercepted a gringo U-2 in 1992, they told the U-2 pilots to fuck off but they ignored the warnings, the Venezuelans literally had them on lock-on ready to shoot but the U-2 got away, climbing to altitudes far above what the F-16 can reach and speeding away from their territory. Immediately after the incident the Venezuelan Air Force reported that "they actually knew" about the U-2 flight and that they were "authorized" to fly over their own airspace but couldn't inform it's air units, so it's all probably BS, the US Air Force was flying a secret mission and got caught with their pants down. Moral of the story? The US military is far from invincible and no matter how friendly you are to them, you still get spied on. Remember, back in 1992 the two governments were allies, Venezuela was getting annihilated by neoliberalism... but that isn't enough for the Empire.
