Definitely some dumb luck - they managed to catch it with the bomb bay doors open, which increased its radar signature dramatically.

I wouldn't call that 'luck' per se on account of the Americans apparently flying like that habitually, as well as sticking to predictable flight plans. It's not like the Serbs fired into the blue on a whim and were shocked when they hit something.
