Serb tactics seem to have consisted solely of trying to make themselves invisible to NATO, their offensive capability, (except against civiians), was nil.

That's what happens when the mightiest alliance in the history of mankind "shows off" beating a 10th rate power from 20,000 cowardly feet.

Ever since the Serbs brought offensively down the invisible "stealth" bomber over Srem, sorties resumed at 20,000 feet, well above anything Serbs possessed that could inflict any offensive damage. It seems ot me, it was NATO that was playing defensive tactics, after being told Serbs would fold and wither away in a mattewr of three days (Sandy Burger's most famous statement).

The Serbs had no choice but wait for the cowards to come down from their ivory towers. In the meantime, they captured three US soliders with an offensive incursion into Macedonia, just to show that it can be done. It's easy being "brave" from 20,000 feet, safe and secure from being shot at.

The real situation was quite diferent. You should consider reading grown up sources on this subject. This is not a high school forum.

Dear "Son of Eagle" your post 112 looks more likely desperation than intelligent answer!

You see,it is a duty of a well trained army to be invisible for the enemy force!You gott that?You hide to fight another day.I`ll give you one of the best known examples:at the battle of Some in WWI Germans dugg their trenches so well and so deep that when British barage arrived and lasted a couple of days,they had ,almost no casualities!When British sharged and came into open,Germans came out and slaughtered 62 000 of them in one day!It is called,skillfull defence,stupid!

As far as offence go,every NATO report from Allied Farce claimed that "VJ had routed KLA almost to extinction ".

VJ was waiting for you intact!For your information Shoku Brit,when French legionares had entered Kosovo from Albania and when they had seen Yugoslav defences and spot on army leaving in full battle order their commander said:"Thank`s God we didn`t have to invade!"

I believe,that now is the time for you to shut up or start swearing ,or criticize my spelling...or the color of my hair...that`s the way Hoplite is ending his lost debates with tail between his legs!
