Lockheed's F-117 Nighthawk was really an attack aircraft. It had the 'F' rather than 'A' designation to attract hot shot pilots. The only air to air weapon it was capable of deploying was the AIM 9 Sparrow intended ostensibly to attack Soviet AWACS. It had no gun, no radar and poor visibility to engage an enemy fighter. And once it's weapons bay was opened it lost its radar invisibility.
