Yes... and I think, that was the only time it was shot down by any enemy, and yes, most likely, the Russians got a hold of it, and researched it, but, the US official response was, that we already have 3 rd and 4 th generation stealth technology.
The US knows that the F-117 and the B-2 can be detected under certain conditions by the Russians.... I heard that it can be detected not by radar, but, the radar voids..

I had heard the F117 HAD to travel in company with a EF-111 jammer platform, as the -117 stuck out like a sore thumb on low band radar.....

Anyway, the -22 is faster, carries more weapons and so on.
