History

Historical Context

In 1999, NATO launched a 78-day air campaign against Yugoslavia, compelling the Milosevic regime to withdraw its forces from Kosovo. The alliance deployed 1,000 aircraft, delivering roughly 1,000 tons of ordnance and striking over 1,200 targets, including logistics hubs in Belgrade. Ukrainian drones in August 2026 hit Ozon warehouses in Rostov and Ufa, and SBU Alpha struck Engels Air Base, prompting Mayor Sergey Sobyanin to tighten security. The echo of 1999’s air campaign shows that targeting supply chains now forces Russia to allocate additional air-defense resources, reshaping regional security calculations.
