Found this about serbia:
"The Serbian air defence unit never managed to launch the S-300. It is believed radar emissions from the launch site were detected by the aircraft covering the F-16s bombing the Pancevo refinery and a precise hit by a NATO missile destroyed the launch site killing Gen Velickovic and a number of other officers. After this failure the Serbs believed the technology would never work and apparently withdrew the remaining S-300s to underground tunnels in the Rakovica suburb south of Belgrade."

Actually, just to clarify what I was saying, I did not mean the F-117A was taken out by a s300, in fact I doubt the serbs ever had the s300 system. The F117A was taken out by
Soviet Isayev S-125 Neva. It was not a direct hit, but taken out by means of a proximity fuze which made the F117a unstable forcing the pilot to eject.
