...these are muslim countries with low education officers,soldiers, population etc...in war 1999 in Serbia,NATO managed to destroy only 13 Serbian tanks for 78days of bombing because Serbian army had a lots of forests for hiding and puting fake tanks made of paper and wood...stealth improves,but doesnt make plane invincible...F117 was shot down in Serbia 1999 with 30yrs old system NEVA,and 2 more were damaged...if you want to survive,you must be smart to hide and deceive your enemy...Serbian engeneers were making fake airstrips and fake MiGs29 of thick paper,dressing dolls from stores in military uniforms etc...
The Serbs were only there to survive, a sensible tactic. Hiding was their only option, to live to fight another day. Preservation of forces. The Serbs never went on the offensive against NATO,
not like fighting unarmed civilians........right?
Kind of reminds me of the Iraqi "Burying my MIGs under the sand" tactics.
A major factor in the sometimes lousy NATO bombing accuracy, except for the USAF, was the absence of PGMs that could be used in poor weather. This was a major deficiency in other NATO airforces and has since been addressed. If the F-22 was available in 1999 along with the F-35, the whole episode would have been over much sooner. The NATO forces still got the job done, with minimal casualties. Getting the leaders around the negotiating table was the objective. |
