I wondered why they did not bomb the stealth fighter that was shot down a few years ago.

I would first tenderize it with a cluster munition. Next I’d sear it with napalm. As the napalm fire was burning out, I’d put a 2,000 pounder on it.

Tempest in a teapot.

The plane burned out completely, nothing but slag and cinders left of all the "high tech".

A few missile seeker heads were lying around on the ground - but - the technology is old and very well known to the rest of the world's arms makers.

Scattering the slag and cinders doesn't help much, long after the seeker heads were carried off for souvenirs. As for what high tech secrets got bombed:

The million dollar question that I do not want to know the answer too, is it electronic i.e. boards and or software ( communication i.e. C3 or to weaponry) or were the engines "upgraded" and we were never told.... I don't have the purple sticker on my ID badge, I do not want to know :-).
