Overview
"Settle your disputes quickly and quietly with a well-placed smart bomb, courtesy of the Allied Air Force. Place an order and paint your target, and we'll take care of the rest."

- Merchant of Menace store description

The Stealth Fighter Attack is a single laser-guided bomb strike similar to the Surgical Strike, but delivered by an electronically invisible F-117 Nighthawk and with somewhat less firepower. It is comparable to the Surgical Strike and uses the same targeting method.

The Stealth Fighter Attack is useful when a precise air strike is needed on a target protected by anti-air weapons or vehicles.

Real life
The Stealth Fighter Attack is delivered by the real life F-117 Nighthawk, although the name of the air strike is a misnomer as the F-117 is an attacker jet, not a fighter jet like the F-15E Strike Eagle. F means fighter but the F-117A cannot engage air targets and went into retirement in 2008.
