It was not shot down in the low altitude. It was detected, when it opened the weapons bay to attack ground forces in very high altitude."About 8:15 pm local time, several SA-3s were fired from about 8 miles (13 km) away, launched by a Yugoslav version of the Soviet Isayev S-125 'Neva' (NATO name SA-3 'Goa') anti-aircraft missile system.[39][40][41] The launcher was run by elements of the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defence Missile Brigade under the command of Colonel Zoltán Dani.[42] According to NATO Commander Wesley Clark and other NATO generals, Dani detected F-117s by operating his radars on unusually long wavelengths, making the aircraft visible for brief periods. According to Dani in a 2007 interview, his troops spotted the aircraft on radar when its bomb-bay doors opened, raising its radar signature.[43]"13 Kms is not a low altitude!U-2In 1960s US claimed that no missile was capable of reaching the U-2's altitude, but it was just  matters of weeks which Russians proved  that they are talking nonsense.  This thread is not about USA vs Yugoslavia!get your facts right first</blockquote>
