If you're ever visiting or simply passing through Belgrade, a good place to visit is the Yugoslav Aeronautical Museum in Surcin(suburb of Belgrade), located right beside the Belgrade Airport.
All the aircraft, that were either produced or used in the Yugoslav/Serbia & Montenegro Air Force can be seen there.

Yup... I suppose the whole campaign was pathetic from both sides... Serbs are happy they shot down an unmanned observation plane that flies at 100 km/h...and NATO bombed a ****load of wooden tanks. :lol:
A good example of how both sides lose in war. :D

I think is some kind of illness that everybody from Serbia or Russia must survived at this forum, don't you think? Every time such person is registered the MilitaryPhotos forum he immediately started to post the same three or seven photos (destroyed equipment from Iraq, F-117A and UAV shoot down over Yugoslavia, and so on) and almost the same slogans ("Americans are not so powerful, haha! They lost an aircraft or four tanks or field kitchen, haha!").
The most funny thing is that every such person thinks he is the first one at MilitaryPhotos and very orginal. The truth however is different ;)
His remark is kinda my fault though.. I suppose my remark might have thrown a little more oil on the fire. ;)

Grozny ?
We actually accomplished a lot. The Arab Terrorists don't show their faces anymore. Most of the Chechen resistance is hiding in Itum Kali region. Thats wayyyyy South.
The local life is back to their daily routine. There are now stores, cafes, schools and even the light and gas is back.
The reason we are holding off on sending a tons of construction crews, is because they always get kidnaped by Chechen freedom fighters, and held for ransom.
Amazing isn't it? They come to reconstruct Grozny, and get kidnaped, and their heads are removed for it.
As for our goals in Chechnya, I with all my pride must say Second Chechen operation is a sucsess. You know why?
Because the other side turned into terrorism.
If you can't see that, or agree with it... what can I say about you than.

Actually he's right. Two Luftwaffe Tornadoes were confirmed as shot down on the 26th/27th March 1999. Another two Tornadoes were shot down on April 15th and May 26th. The report states that it is unknown whether or not these were German or British, however they were later confirmed as German.

http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins2000/tim2000-5-1.html
That link is less than unreliable. It's blatantly biased, to a point it sounds like open propaganda.
Since both Moscow and Washington know that if Russia were to release a proof (electronic surveillance recordings, for example) which back up its claims about the NATO losses, this would have a devastating effect on NATO/NWO. For, the whole world would then know that a tiny Yugoslav Army had whipped the arrogant and omnipotent aggressor, using some fairly outdated weaponry, but more than making up for it with cunning and bravery of its officers and troops.
Riiight...the New World Order... :cantbeli:
Such claims need a solid backing to be even remotely believable.
The only reason was the April 26, 1999 attack carried out by Yugoslav "Galeb" fighters against "Rinas" airport located near Albania's capital of Tirana, where the Apaches were based. That day two groups of these light helicopters were destroyed and over 10 helicopters were damaged."
And nobody took pictures? Over 10 helicopters destroyed and not a single witness?
Among the destroyed aircraft were five German "Tornadoes," several British "Harriers'" two French "Mirages," Belgian, Dutch, and Canadian aircraft. On June 7 the USAF lost a B-52 strategic bomber, while on May 20 a B-2A "Spirit" was shot down."
These claims have been beaten to death on every possible military forums, including the very serious ACIG.org, without a single evidence confirming them ever surfacing. B-52s were not even engaged over Kosovo.

Certainly there are elements that have.
Classifying Muslim Kosovars as 'terrorists' or Orthodox Christian Serbs as the 'enemy' is an injustice to those who obey the rule of law/humanity.
Do not stereotype as you would be guilty of promoting racism. The most recent violence perpetrated against Serbs by radical Muslim Kosovars relates directly to racial profiling and hate.
Milosevic demonstrated a pattern of using Serbian Nationalism to pursue an agenda of ethnic cleansing.
It is not a virtue to promote Hate if you consider yourself to be Christian, yet alone Orthodox. Attempt to demonstrate tollerance if you wish to promote the path to Peace.

NATO is weaker in many ways than a smaller coalition of independent states (i.e. the USA, UK, and Germany) performing a militayr action. This is due mostly to the individual members states individual and collective (EU) agendas.
& NATO does not propose to interfere into Chechnya for the same reason the US would not - it has no leg to stand on. The US had got involved in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation and obviously the Soviets knew it, and could prove it. And yet the Soviets were a nuclear power a that time. Policies change, administrations change, focus shifts.... the US wishes to conduct (and has for years) it's own unilateral military campaigns and therefore has no leg to stand on.... European countries have their own agenda.
Now I will agree that Serbia/Kosovo crisis can be called an overreaction to the tragedies that befell BiH.

My take on Serb conflict is to let them solve it without anyone's interference.
As for Chechnya and USA, its a matter of a time before evidence uncovers about CIA's advising to the Dudaev's crew in 1995.
Seeing Russia winning in Chechnya, is like seeing USSR landing on the moon. So a lot of resources were dumped into making Russia fail in Chechnya. Use your head for this, its easy to figure out.

My little bird tells me that in US there were many sponsors of the Chechen resistance. Russia politely asked US officials to cut the funding coming to the Chechen fighters. Now the US government probably didnt openly helped to fund Chechen resistance, but you will be surpriced if you knew wich independent companies in US did.
I will give Clinton's administration a credit for puting a vail on the money bag going to Chechnya, accept now it was going to the refugees in Ingushetia. And we all know how much of that money ever made it to the Ingush camps.

If anyone is curious, here is a good abstract that analyzes the successes and failures of Operation Allied Force:
Lessons for the Future
On March 24, 1999, NATO forces initiated an air war against Serbia in an effort to put an end to the human rights abuses that were then being perpetrated against the ethnic Albanian population in Kosovo. This bombing effort, code-named Operation Allied Force, ended 78 days later with the capitulation of Yugoslavia's president, Slobodan Milosevic, and the subsequent withdrawal of Serbian army and paramilitary forces from Kosovo. Yet despite its success in bringing about Milosevic's defeat, Operation Allied Force was a suboptimal use of air power to resolve a regional conflict. Although NATO's air offensive ultimately proved crucial to Milosevic's decision to submit to NATO's terms, a host of deficiencies--both strategic and operational--protracted the air effort and hampered its overall effectiveness. Figure 1 shows a map of the immediate area of operations.
In NATO's Air War for Kosovo: A Strategic and Operational Assessment, RAND researcher Benjamin S. Lambeth offers a thorough appraisal of Operation Allied Force, with a view toward shedding light both on the operation's strengths and on its most salient weaknesses. After outlining the main highlights of NATO's air offensive, the study examines the various factors that interacted to induce Milosevic to capitulate when he did. It then explores air power's most notable accomplishments in Allied Force, as well as the many problems and sources of friction that hindered the operation both in its planning and in its execution. Finally, the report assesses Operation Allied Force from a political and strategic perspective, calling attention to those issues that are likely to have the greatest bearing on future military policymaking.
Figure 1--The Operations Arena
WHY MILOSEVIC CONCEDED: A STEP BACK
Although NATO's bombing effort in the end played the determining role in bringing about Milosevic's defeat, a host of additional factors also figured importantly in this respect. In addition to the damage that was being wrought by NATO's air attacks, for example, another factor that very likely contributed to Milosevic's surrender was the sheer depravity of Serbia's conduct in Kosovo, which ultimately stripped it of what little remained of international support, most notably from the Russians. Yet another element that may have come into play was pressure from Yugoslavia's elite, for whom NATO's bombing of key industrial and economic interests in and around Belgrade had begun to take an intensely personal toll.
Milosevic was, in addition, almost surely aware of the growing potential for a ground invasion as NATO's air war progressed. By the end of May 1999, it had become clear that NATO had increasingly accepted the need to go ahead with a ground invasion in the event that its air effort alone failed to bring about a decisive outcome. Although senior officials in Washington remained highly resistant to proceeding with that course right up the very end, Milosevic cannot have failed to apprehend the implications of such a possibility.
At the same time, Milosevic was bearing witness to an escalating air war that showed no signs of abating (Figure 2). Although NATO's efforts to find and attack dispersed and hidden enemy forces in Kosovo had proved largely ineffective, an increasing number of infrastructure targets were being hit each day, and these attacks were taking a mounting toll both on Yugoslavia's leadership and on the population as a whole. It is thus likely that NATO's air offensive ultimately convinced Milosevic that the alliance not only intended to persist in its attacks but was determined to prevail. In the end, the sustained bombing, although by no means the sole factor responsible for the success of Allied Force, set the stage for Milosevic's capitulation by making it clear that he had little to gain by holding out.1
Figure 2--Conflict Timeline
OPERATIONAL ISSUES: THE AIR WAR IN ACTION
Much of the controversy surrounding Operation Allied Force has pivoted on the discrepancy between what the NATO allies expected and what they ultimately encountered. Although NATO initially sought to neutralize Serbia's air defenses, the alliance soon discovered that the Serbs kept most of their surface-to-air missiles dispersed with their radars not emitting, rendering them difficult to find and attack. At the same time, the Serbs' heavy man-portable air defenses and antiaircraft artillery forced NATO aircrews to conduct bombing attacks from an altitude of 15,000 ft or higher, which sometimes hampered the visual identification of targets and successfully distinguishing between military convoys and civilian refugees.
Mobile enemy troops in Kosovo also proved to be more capable and tenacious foes than had been anticipated. Operating under the cover of inclement weather and shielded by mountainous terrain, Serb forces were frequently able to disperse and conceal their weapons, thereby eluding allied efforts to find and attack them in a timely way. This shortcoming protracted the overall allied effort, eventually occasioning a more determined pursuit of infrastructure targets in and around Belgrade.
Despite unprecedented pressure to avoid civilian casualties and unintended collateral damage, Operation Allied Force also fell prey to a number of bombing errors, including the widely publicized inadvertent bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. Although some of these errors were a natural consequence of NATO-imposed operational constraints and Serbia's uncongenial spring weather, the extraordinary media attention that was paid to them further detracted from the overall effectiveness of the campaign by starkly showing what can happen when achieving zero collateral damage becomes not just a desired goal of allied strategy but also the expectation.
STRATEGIC ISSUES: AN OVERVIEW
Operation Allied Force left in its wake a number of questions regarding its overall strategy and execution. To begin with, allied planners erred badly at the very outset of the campaign by failing to appreciate Kosovo's profound historical and cultural significance to the Serbs. This critical error in judgment led to the allies' flawed assumption that Milosevic would capitulate to NATO demands without the need for an aggressive or protracted engagement.
NATO's operation in Kosovo was further hampered by the need to achieve consensus among its politically diverse member states, many of which were hesitant to use significant force in what was essentially a humanitarian operation. This requirement for unanimity on at least the basics of allied strategy led not only to the outright rejection of a ground option from the very start but also to the imposition of exceptionally stringent rules of engagement. Added to this mix of coalition restraints were internal disagreements within the U.S. component of the alliance over target priorities and broader force employment strategy, which further undermined the effectiveness of NATO's efforts.
NATO'S AIR WAR IN PERSPECTIVE
Operation Allied Force was the most intense and sustained military operation to have been conducted in Europe since the end of World War II. It also represented the first extended use of military force by NATO as well as the first time air forces had successfully coerced an enemy leader in the absence of significant friendly ground-force involvement. Although the operation failed to halt Milosevic's ethnic cleansing campaign, it succeeded in reversing that campaign by forcing Milosevic to accede to NATO's demands.
At the same time, NATO's air war suffered from a number of critical shortcomings. On an operational level, the allies' attempts to find and attack dispersed and hidden enemy ground forces in Kosovo proved largely unsuccessful, enabling Milosevic to accelerate his ethnic cleansing campaign against the Kosovar Albanians even as NATO's bombing efforts intensified. On a strategic level, the operation's desultory onset, restrictive rules of engagement, and ill-conceived strategy hobbled the allies' effort by compromising their ability to engage a wily and determined foe. In the end, Operation Allied Force's most noteworthy distinction may lie in the fact that the bombing effort prevailed despite the myriad impediments it faced. In light of that, perhaps the most telling lesson to be drawn from Operation Allied Force is that however capable air forces may have become in principle compared to other force elements, they can never be more effective than the strategy they are intended to support.
The entire book, not just the abstract, can be found at http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR1365/ in PDF form. And,with regards to accuracy and impartiality, the Rand Corporation is a very highly respected Washington think-tank whose primary job is to critique. There is no sugar-coating here.
Also, as far as the wild claims of Serbian shoot-downs of B-2s and whatnot, there are absolutely no reputable sources, from Jane's to the BBC to The New York Times, who dispute NATO's claim that only two manned allied aircraft, an F-16 and an F-117, were downed by hostile fire. Rumors of more are pure fantasy.
Hopefully this should help set the record straight.

I'm sure people can post equally graphic photos of Muslims killed by Serbs not only in Kosovo but in Croatia and Bosnia as well...
Anyways you Serbs are making it sound like your country did nothing wrong then suddenly the evil Americans and NATO decided to come and bomb you for no reason. We stood by while the genocide raged in Croatia and Bosnia and finally decided to step in when we saw the same thing happening in Kosovo.
Yes in war there will be always civilian casualties, and that is very sad, but that doesn't make Serbia innocent.

Yes, I'm sure the Americans would go to a Muslim village, round up all the men and then shoot them. Then when the world reacts, America would claim innocence... Yea.

Albanian terrorists as in the KLA (who had ties to Al-Qaida) and their supporters which was probably about 90-95 % at the time so i guess that works out.

You already did that in Vietnam so I don't think it would be that much of a problem! :P

Don't even start with those pictures were posed or some **** like that! :bash: the NATO aggression was unjustified and killed innocent people for that Clinton f*** sake! :slap:
You have got to be kidding me. Human Rights Watch (a much more reliable source than the Yugoslav government) reports about 500 civilian deaths as a result of Operation Allied Force. http://www.hrw.org/press/2000/02/nato207.htm
In contrast (and this is a tame description)...
Approximately 800,000 Kosovo Albanian civilians were expelled from the province by their forced removal and subsequent looting and destruction of their homes, or by the shelling of villages. Surviving residents were sent to the borders of neighbouring countries. En route, many were killed, abused and had their possessions and identification papers stolen. Furthermore, specific massacres allegedly committed by Serb forces in places such as Djakovica/Gjakovė, Suva Reka/Suharekė, Racak/Reēak, Bela Crkva/Bellacėrkė, Mala Krusa/Krusė e Vogėl, Velika Krusa/Krushė e Madhe, Padaliste/Padalishtė, Izbica/Izbicė, Vucitrn/Vushtrri, Dubrava/Dubravė Prison complex, Meja/Mejė and Kacanik/Kacanik...
http://www.un.org/icty/glance/milosevic.htm
If I wanted to I could fill 20 pages with pictures of men, women and children who had been murdered at the hands of Milosevic's thugs (they can be found at http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/Kosovo/Kosovo-Photographs.htm). That the Serb forces committed horrific war crimes is indisputable. You can criticize NATO's handling of the war, you can criticize the tactics and weaponry employed, but please don't say it was unjustified. The savage atrocities inflicted upon the Albanian civilian population were more than enough to justify the NATO intervention.

The following are a pictures taken from a video of an air strike on a Serb radar installation.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong... I guess you guys have Superman vision or something, but I see no indications that this man is military, armed, serb, eskimo, flying a kite...
I'm not fishing for any human right violations here - it's just interesting to know how the identification is conducted entirely from the air... not like somebody went down to check things out... Obviously, this humanoid looking thingie was at the military installation - beyond that, what's the arguement?

well sorry but I don't know how, and seeing as how you americans delete any posts that are not to you're interests i really don't care if you do. since there is really no point to argue because it can last forever I'll just state my view:
I don't beleive that we commited crimes in kosovo and that we were there to protect serbs and christianity against islamic terrorism and that CLinton used this as an excuse to get attention of his monica lewinsky scandal also I don't beleive anything the western media says and this also includes Human Rights Watch which by the way is an american based organization. Also I think that if we did commit any "crimes" in kosovo that they were justified as revenge for all the oppression the serbs have suffered under muslims since Ottoman rule.
This is just my view so please don't flame me, let's just move on okay? :D :hug:
The funniest thing I ever read about the break up of Yugoslavia was when a few Croatian farmers with Ak-47's routed an entire army of Serbian forces who ran like babies for the hills when faced with real men. Sure, a Chetnik might be ferocious when he is burning villages, stealing jewelery, raping women, slitting babies thraots, torturing children and sniping at journalists but when he encounters professional soldiers he either surrenders or runs for the hills
I absolutely would have loved to see American infantry give the Serbs bloody noses. You say if Bush had been around he would have helped you? How little you know. If Bush had been around when you bastards captured those three Americans then your entire nation would be a steaming pile of mud right now....Oh waite thats right, just like the Somali's who gave back Michael Durant: When we told you to either give them back or face an all out American infantry assault hell bent on revenge and killing everything in area, you bent over, took it up the ass, and gave back our boys. Very smart move for if you hadnt then maybe the world would have been a better place and idiot serbs like you wouldnt be alive right now. No doubt you would have taken up arms and gone out to fight only to take a 7.62 match grade between your eyes you moron.....
Serbia is the trailer park of Europe.
Oh and just in case you are wondering, one of my friends who I met in a military studies class fought for Croation forces in the Hrvatska Oruzane Snage (HOS) for a little while against the Serbs who tried on several occassions to committ attrocities in Croatia. He fought in many battles that turned back Serb forces. He ended up leaving the HOS in early 1992 because they were too radical and because the Croation government paid him a little money and said "thank you but we dont want you here any more". He ended up going in and out of Croatia several times because he had some family connections there.
One of the biggest battles he was in was the Serb seige of Vukovar in Slovenia. He was part of a group of around 1500 or so Croat militia and HOS and they held off something like 10,000 Serbs for almost 3 months. He was almost killed after the JNA started using artillery. He was also one of the few to escape the seige alive. After that one he had enough of fighting and decided he liked the peaceful life back in America and wanted to go to college which is where I met him.

u realise that the peacekeepers entered kosova only after the Serbs surendered? Russian paratroopers landed in Serbia (AFAIK Belgrade Airport) and then transfered to Pristina Airport after the bombing campaign was OVER?
And no Russians did not want to protect "Serbian brothers" yet to protect Slobodan Milosevic, because they were afraid ousting him would destroy any influence Russia might have in the Balkans. The Serbian Revolution and sending Slobo to the Hague actually proved the Russians were right. Serbia want's to join both the EU and the NATO (they are actually a part of Partnership for Peace which is something like a NATO Kindergarten). During the Slobo times there were plans of starting a union of Russia, Belarus and Serbia and now they sound like someone's crazy nightmare.
NATO reached its objectives.. Serbs capitulated and retreated from Kosovo. Sometime later a revolution sweeped Slobo from power. Now you have democracy in Serbia and a free market - that is a chance to prosper after many years of nationalistic negligence (look at Slovenia.. back in 1990 this country was comparable economicaly with Serbia, now it is around 6 to 8 times richer then Serbia per capita). Wars brought you nothing but casulties, economic collapse and bribery.
take care
