History

Historical Context

During NATO’s 78-day Operation Allied Force (24 Mar – 10 Jun 1999), the alliance flew more than 38,000 combat missions, striking Yugoslav bridges, power plants and the Pancevo oil refinery. That air-power precedent now echoes in Ukraine’s use of FP-5 Flamingo missiles and drones against Russian logistics such as the Kuibyshev refinery, showing how precision strikes shape supply lines.
