In this article we were told about how some of the F-117 Stealth 
Fighter's A-G missiles missed there target. This was not all the                Aircraft's fault, if the radar locks onto it's target and then                  fires it's missile, it is from then on the missiles lock-on 
system which guides the missile. If for some reason this Fire-
and-Forget lock on missile was faulty it would cause the
missile to (probably) continue straight. This would explain why 
the missile missed it's target. Also if this missile was a non 
guided one it would prove the Pilot's fault not the Trusty F-117
's fault.

Agreed?
