15 % ? See below for the aircraft involved in the Kosovo / Serbia operation. Note that US forces (bolded) list the numbers of F15, F16, and A10 squadrons and the numbers of other selected aircraft from the specified airbases. The number of aircraft in a squadron varies but I think 24 is usual. Compare this to the other contributing countries - Italy is highest with 42 aircraft involved. NATO forces involved: USA Italy (Aviano AFB): Two squadrons of F-16C/D Falcons 12 x F-117 Night-hawks 10 x EA-6 Prowlers 4 x KC-10 tankers E-3 Sentry (AWACS) 1 x squadron of A/OA-10 Thunderbolts II Italy (Cervia) 1 x squadron of F-15 Eagles UK (Lakenheath) 2 x squadrons of F-15 Eagles UK (Mildenhall) 1 x KC-135 refuelling squadron UK (Fairford) B-52s Germany (Spangdahlem) 2 x squadrons of F-16C/Ds 1 x squadron of F-15 Eagles USA (Whiteman AFB, Mo) B-2A Spirit UK E-3 AWACS; 8x Harrier GR7s; Tristars (L-1011) Belgium 12 x F-16A/Bs Canada 6 x CF-18A/Bs Denmark 6 x F-16s France 2 x Jaguars, 8 x Mirage 2000-C, 4 x Mirage 2000-D, 1 x Mirage IV, 1 x E3-F AWACS aircraft, C-160s, 2 x C-135-FRs Germany 14 x Tornados Italy Total: 42: mostly Tornados ADVs and F-104s; with some AMX and Tornado IDSs Netherlands 16 x F-16A/Bs; 2 x KC-10s Norway 6 x F-16A/Bs Portugal 3 x F-16A/Bs Spain 4 x EF-18A/Bs Turkey 11 x F-16A/Bs janes.com
