*OT* >>the Serbian air defenses may be more sophisticated than the Iraqi's had and, therefore, our air strikes may not be as successful as in Iraq. <<

Iraq had the best air defense we have seen in a long while and I doubt Serbia will be much of a threat technology wise. HOWEVER, the increased danger lies in that targets are hidden better since it is not a wide open desert but instead has trees, cities etc. The terrain also is hilly and means we have to fly low level into valleys etc to evade radar rather than just launching anti radiation missiles from safe distances. It will be a challenge for sure. The other bad side affect of this conflict is there are friendlies in the area which means we can't just carpet bomb the whole stinking place with B-52s but instead must smart bomb targets as needed. Expensive and more limited damage slows the effect.

FWIW,

Lee
