Which is why over the course of a multi-month aerial bombing campaign in Yugoslavia in ‘99, American and NATO aircraft equipped with smart bombs wound up blowing up little more than wooden decoy tanks and microwave ovens. By good use of camouflage, decoys, and fake movements and electronic emissions, the Serbs were able to blunt and, for the most part, nullify the effects of NATO air strikes. Assuming that all of America’s enemies are going to be as inept as the Iraqi military seems like the same kind of overconfidence that allowed a Serbian air-defense commander in charge of an antiquated SA-3 SAM battery to down a F-117 stealth fighter.
True.
