There's some numbers for you, assface. Your buddies over at Stormfront report similar numbers. Time to switch from ad hominem to
attacking the source.
ent.
OK...that's easy...that source is full of what makes the grass grow green...
The USAF purchased a grand total of 21 B-2 bombers...one crashed in 2008 taking off in Guam...
Currently, the 509th Bomb Wing, which operates the B-2, possesses 20 of the aircraft...
Let's see some simple math...
21 purchased minus one crashed equals 20...
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE 3 ALLEGEDLY SHOT DOWN OVER KOSOVO. DAWG...

Now, if that's not enough to "shoot down" your source...there's this little nugget...
Only one F-117 was shot down over Kosovo...not six as claimed by your "source"...
One F-117 has been lost in combat with the Army of Yugoslavia. On 27 March 1999, during the Kosovo War, the 3rd Battalion of the 250th Air Defence Missile Brigade under the command of Colonel Zoltán Dani,[38] downed an F-117A, callsign "Vega 31", AF serial number 82-0806, with a Yugoslav version of the Soviet Isayev S-125 'Neva' (NATO name SA-3 'Goa') anti-aircraft missile system.[39][40] According to NATO Commander Wesley Clark and other NATO generals, Yugoslav air defenses detected F-117s by operating their radars on unusually long wavelengths, making the aircraft visible to radar for brief periods. It is also possible that the aircraft was visible due to a disruption of its radar signature caused by open bomb-bay doors. This was the justification given by Colonel Dani in a 2007 interview. [41]
Parts of the downed F-117 on display in the Military Museum in Belgrade.
Reportedly, several SA-3s were launched from approximately 8 miles out, one of which detonated near the F-117A, forcing the pilot to eject. Though still classified, it is believed that the F-117 has no radar warning indicator, so the pilot's first indication of an incoming missile was likely seeing its flame. At this distance and combined speed the pilot had about six seconds to react before impact. According to an interview, Zoltán Dani kept most of his missile sites intact by frequently moving them, and had spotters looking for F-117s and other NATO aircraft. He oversaw the modification of his targeting radar to improve its detection.[40] The commanders and crews of the SAMs guessed the flight paths of earlier F-117A attacks from rare radar spottings and positioned their SAM launchers and spotters accordingly. It is believed that the SA-3 crews and spotters were able to locate and track F-117A 82-806 visually, probably with infra-red and night vision systems. He claimed that his battery shot down an F-16 as well.[40]
The F-117 pilot survived and was later rescued by U.S. Air Force Pararescue personnel. The wreckage of the F-117 was not promptly bombed, due to possible media fallout from news footage of civilians around the wreckage. The Serbs are believed to have invited Russian personnel to inspect the remains, compromising the then 25-year old US stealth technology.[42] The F-117's pilot was misidentified. While the name "Capt Ken 'Wiz' Dwelle" was painted on the canopy, it was revealed in 2007 that the pilot was actually Lt Col Dale Zelko, USAF.[43][44]
Some sources claim that a second F-117A was damaged during the same campaign, allegedly on 30 April.[45] Although the aircraft returned to base, it supposedly never flew again.[46][47]

I'll do one more and than quit...your "source" is so easy to tear apart this is getting to be too much fun
Here's the list of EVERY B-52 lost in combat and training since the aircraft first flew in 1953...
There are NONE listed lost in, around, near, or during the Kosovo campaign...

Bottom line...your source is a piece of crap, dawg...try again...
What is the military doing with the half-trillion per year budget we taxpayers generously provide.
