Nikad vidjela ni čula za naše bespilotne letjelice i njihove izviđačke misije? Pa ti nemaš pojma s pojmom.
Jebote, pa čak se ni Mile Mrkšić koji je ipak nekakav vojnik nije mogao načuditi kako naša artiljerija tako precizno gađa njihove položaje na Crvenoj zemlji kod Knina. Naravno da je bilo precizno kada smo ih navodili interaktivno iz zraka, a Srbi su bili preglupi da shvate što se događa. JNA im nije ostavila tradiciju tehnologije bespilotnih letjelica tako polupismenima pa što će im to, premda svaka ozbiljnija vojska ima takve uređaje, a Izrael ih često koristi i tada ih je već koristio i u preciznim napadima na točkaste ciljeve u gusto naseljenim područjima gdje je rizik od civilnih žrtava jako visok.
Bilo je dokumentaraca u kojime s eto lijepo dalo vidjeti i prvi su emitirani već nakon sporazuma o mirnoj reintegraciji istočne Slavonije i zapadnog Srijema, nije baš bilo razloga da neprijatelju pokazujemo sve detalje kako smo ga dobili oko Knina.

[size=21]Did US Army help Croatia during the Homeland War in Croatia 1991-1995?

The US policy changed on a few occasions over time, so we could analyze this from multiple perspectives.
The LIC (Low Intensity Conflicts) started one year prior to the Croatian War of Independence, in 1990 when Chetnik armed paramilitary groups assisted by volunteers from Serbia seized control of main roads and some police outposts in certain regions of Croatia. Crimes started, civilians were massacred in some areas just because they were not approving the Greater Serbian or Yugoslavian idea. The US Army at that time had problems with resolving peace in the Gulf area, so the US policy concluded JNA would storm over Slovenia and Croatia and impose it’s power. The Gulf War ended in February 1991 with the win of the US Army, and the US Army was neither willing nor prepared to assist the Yugoslav Army in crushing the rebelled Slovenians and Croatians. When Croatia declared independence exactly 26 years ago on the 25th June 1991, the Yugoslavian government asked the US President of the time (then George Bush senior) not to protest against a military strike against the Croatian Government. The Yugoslav officials persuaded George Bush that this will be quick and that casualties will be down to a minimum. George Bush sent James Baker who authorized military force and allowed JNA (Yugoslav People’s Army) to strike. JNA started it’s armed campaign against the elected governments and the police in Slovenia and Croatia simultaneously in June 1991. The JNA did not know at the time that both the Slovenians and Croats were prepared, gathered arms, and resisted with road blocks. Without full excalations of this conflict to a war, there was little the Yugoslav Army could do.
Seeing that Croats and Slovenians could resist such a strong army (the JNA at the time was the fourth largest and strongest army in Europe), it made George Bush withdraw assistance and support to the Yugoslav idea. The US Army was still in Kuwait, preparing for an intervention in Iraq and search for ‘weapons of mass destruction’. When the LIC in Croatia developed into a full scale war by the end of 1991, the US policy started to change. The downing of a UN helicopter by the JNA made the US analyst recalculate the odds as less favorable for a quick resolution and Yugoslav dominance. Then the reports from the battlefield reached the US Army analysts and most showed the Croatians will not give up their homes, country, independence and resistance. In such a situation, the official US policy became to withold from any support to any side, and even imposed sanctions to Croatia to import weapons. Serbia&Montenegro still pretended to be a Yugoslavian state even though such ‘yugoslav’ administration was falling slowly apart, and they were not affected by these UN/US sanctions at all. In January 1992, some European countries acknowledged Croatia as a sovereign and independent country and it was clear that the Yugoslavian idea was lost for all times. The US Army prepared the strategic command of Iraq invasion at the time, and had no means (or power) to participate in a conflict anywhere in ex-Yugoslavian countries. However, in January 1993 Bill Clinton came to power in the USA and he changed the US policy to switch to support the Croatian and Bosnian side and allow Croatians and Bosnians to arm themselves and defend against a much stronger and heavier armed oppressor: the JNA that switched it’s name to Army of Kraina in Croatia and Army of Serbska in Bosnia Herzegovina. This was a game changer, because at least the Croatian army could buy weapons at the black market because the sanctions to import weapons for self defense was not fully lifted until late 1994. As the Croatian Army started to evolve, it used both the knowledge from ex-Yugoslavian tactics and knowledge of Croatians who served in Western armies, including the US Army. Thus the only soldiers who were ever serving in the US Army to fight during the War of Independence were Croatians who came back to Croatia to fight against the Chetnik movement and Greater-Serbia paramilitary terrorist formations. There was cooperation with US Army generals at advisory levels, but this is far from any military involvement. In 1995 the Croatian Army planned three military actions: Operation Flash, Operation Storm and Operation Thunder. Operation Flash started on May 1st 1995 and lasted 48 hours, and this suprised both the US and Izraeli military diplomats in Croatia - the Croatian Army restored a large portion of it’s territory in only 48 hours. Our senior commanders did share some of the information with US Army and Israeli Defense Forces about tactics, strategies and dates of actions, but could not reveal more to them because this information was classified for operation Flash. By Operation Storm in August 1995, information about the military action of Croatian Army has already leaked from some American officials to Serbs in the rebelled Krajina, but there was not much they could do to stop such a well planned military action. After Hanibal in ancient history, this was the second time heavily armed units were used over high elevation territories to surprise an enemy. There were many US Army and IDF officers interested in how the Croatian Army managed to do that. The third military action called Thunder (Operacija Grom) planned for November 1995 (at the exact date of the Fall of Vukovar) to restore order in Eastern Slavonia, transfer the frontline into Vojvodina and get heavy artillery in the range of Belgrade was never conducted because Croatian President Franjo Tuđman was warned the USA will not tolerate a direct war between Croatia and Serbia.
After the success of Operation Flash in May 1995, the US Army started to have even better contacts with Croatian Army. The US Air Force also had a downed F-16c by a Serb Sam rocket in June 1995, so after seing with the Operation Storm that the Croatians are winners and have what it takes to be a good ally, they launched the Operation Deliberate Force from August 30 1995 to September 20 1995. This was done after a series of successful Croatian advancements in Bosnia Herzegovina, the US Army wanted to be the last one to give the ‘final blow’ to the Serbs and call it the end of war in Bosnia. On September 20 1995, the US Army even stopped the Croatian forces in mid action going over the river of Una claiming that the US Army finally restored peace, and even threatened to turn against Croatian forces on the ground with air strikes if the Croatian Army does not obey. The US Army justifed this move by saying that the Serbs have finally understood the lesson and are ready to sit at the table and resolve all problems in Bosnia & Herzegovina with peace talks. It did not last long, the Serb command made regrouping and plans to attack Croat forces and Bosnian forces on the frontline and the Croat Council of Defense and Croatian Army had to advance towards Banja Luka in Operation Southern Move, getting Banja Luka within Croatian heavy artillery range. This was the end of all conflicts in Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina and later politicians traded territories and negotiated to have peace in both countries.
Thus the Operation Deliberate force is the only US Army (US Air Force) military intervention during the War of Independence. The US Army did not help the Croatian Army, but the US Army generals did have good cooperation and coordination with Croatian Army officials. Even intelligence info the Americans were providing (or selling) were often of less quality than expected. For example, the satellite images of ground forces the US Army could provide were not even close to the quality of the video and photo footage that Croatian Army drones gathered from 1991 to 1995 in the battlefield for artillery damage assesment. At that time, the Croatian Army and Israeli Defense Forces were the only ones in the World successfully using drones effectively for artillery and MLR fire or real time damage assesment. The US Army got more in return than what they provided during the War of Independence from 1991 till 1995. The US Army did send some retired officers to Croatian Army AFTER the war, through the program MPRI. These guys were mostly retired US Army officers who were more like tourists than of any practical use, but they were fun to have around. It was good to know we had Americans at our side, because we really believed in democracy, freedom and human rights just as most Americans do.
In short, the US Army did not help in a military way during the War of Independence in Croatia during 1991 to 1995. They did help in Bosnia with operation Deliberate Force, mostly to Bosnians as the Croatian Army did too. The Croatian president of that time Franjo Tuđman told the Clinton Administration in 1995 that Croatia will NOT allow Bihac to become another Srebrenica, and Croatia WAS threatened with sanctions shall the Croatian Army continue helping Bosnians in the North of Bosnia Herzegovina. The US Army somehow wanted an exclusive right to do that in Bosnia, and actually Bill Clinton did stop that war (for a few years) and imposed peace talks. Had he not stopped the war, Croat forces would most probably have to take Banja Luka, invade Vojvodina and advance towards Belgrade. More Croats as soldiers would die, more Serb soldiers would die, politicians would eventually trade territories and make everything irrelevant.
In a way, the US Army prevented more bloodshed in Bosnia, at the time Croatian Army had impressive advancements and territory gains for the Croat Defence Council and Army of Bosnia&Herzegovina. The US Army thus helped the Serb Army to keep Banja Luka, and prevented half a million of Serb refugees fleeing to Serbia.

The downing of a UN helicopter by the JNA made the US analyst recalculate the odds as less favorable for a quick resolution and Yugoslav dominance. Then the reports from the battlefield reached the US Army analysts and most showed the Croatians will not give up their homes, country, independence and resistance. In such a situation, the official US policy became to withold from any support to any side, and even imposed sanctions to Croatia to import weapons. Serbia&Montenegro still pretended to be a Yugoslavian state even though such ‘yugoslav’ administration was falling slowly apart, and they were not affected by these UN/US sanctions at all. In January 1992, some European countries acknowledged Croatia as a sovereign and independent country and it was clear that the Yugoslavian idea was lost for all times. The US Army prepared the strategic command of Iraq invasion at the time, and had no means (or power) to participate in a conflict anywhere in ex-Yugoslavian countries. However, in January 1993 Bill Clinton came to power in the USA and he changed the US policy to switch to support the Croatian and Bosnian side and allow Croatians and Bosnians to arm themselves and defend against a much stronger and heavier armed oppressor: the JNA that switched it’s name to Army of Kraina in Croatia and Army of Serbska in Bosnia Herzegovina. This was a game changer, because at least the Croatian army could buy weapons at the black market because the sanctions to import weapons for self defense was not fully lifted until late 1994. As the Croatian Army started to evolve, it used both the knowledge from ex-Yugoslavian tactics and knowledge of Croatians who served in Western armies, including the US Army. Thus the only soldiers who were ever serving in the US Army to fight during the War of Independence were Croatians who came back to Croatia to fight against the Chetnik movement and Greater-Serbia paramilitary terrorist formations. There was cooperation with US Army generals at advisory levels, but this is far from any military involvement. In 1995 the Croatian Army planned three military actions: Operation Flash, Operation Storm and Operation Thunder. Operation Flash started on May 1st 1995 and lasted 48 hours, and this suprised both the US and Izraeli military diplomats in Croatia - the Croatian Army restored a large portion of it’s territory in only 48 hours. Our senior commanders did share some of the information with US Army and Israeli Defense Forces about tactics, strategies and dates of actions, but could not reveal more to them because this information was classified for operation Flash. By Operation Storm in August 1995, information about the military action of Croatian Army has already leaked from some American officials to Serbs in the rebelled Krajina, but there was not much they could do to stop such a well planned military action. After Hanibal in ancient history, this was the second time heavily armed units were used over high elevation territories to surprise an enemy. There were many US Army and IDF officers interested in how the Croatian Army managed to do that. The third military action called Thunder (Operacija Grom) planned for November 1995 (at the exact date of the Fall of Vukovar) to restore order in Eastern Slavonia, transfer the frontline into Vojvodina and get heavy artillery in the range of Belgrade was never conducted because Croatian President Franjo Tuđman was warned the USA will not tolerate a direct war between Croatia and Serbia.
After the success of Operation Flash in May 1995, the US Army started to have even better contacts with Croatian Army. The US Air Force also had a downed F-16c by a Serb Sam rocket in June 1995, so after seing with the Operation Storm that the Croatians are winners and have what it takes to be a good ally, they launched the Operation Deliberate Force from August 30 1995 to September 20 1995. This was done after a series of successful Croatian advancements in Bosnia Herzegovina, the US Army wanted to be the last one to give the ‘final blow’ to the Serbs and call it the end of war in Bosnia. On September 20 1995, the US Army even stopped the Croatian forces in mid action going over the river of Una claiming that the US Army finally restored peace, and even threatened to turn against Croatian forces on the ground with air strikes if the Croatian Army does not obey. The US Army justifed this move by saying that the Serbs have finally understood the lesson and are ready to sit at the table and resolve all problems in Bosnia & Herzegovina with peace talks. It did not last long, the Serb command made regrouping and plans to attack Croat forces and Bosnian forces on the frontline and the Croat Council of Defense and Croatian Army had to advance towards Banja Luka in Operation Southern Move, getting Banja Luka within Croatian heavy artillery range. This was the end of all conflicts in Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina and later politicians traded territories and negotiated to have peace in both countries.
Thus the Operation Deliberate force is the only US Army (US Air Force) military intervention during the War of Independence. The US Army did not help the Croatian Army, but the US Army generals did have good cooperation and coordination with Croatian Army officials. Even intelligence info the Americans were providing (or selling) were often of less quality than expected. For example, the satellite images of ground forces the US Army could provide were not even close to the quality of the video and photo footage that Croatian Army drones gathered from 1991 to 1995 in the battlefield for artillery damage assesment. At that time, the Croatian Army and Israeli Defense Forces were the only ones in the World successfully using drones effectively for artillery and MLR fire or real time damage assesment. The US Army got more in return than what they provided during the War of Independence from 1991 till 1995. The US Army did send some retired officers to Croatian Army AFTER the war, through the program MPRI. These guys were mostly retired US Army officers who were more like tourists than of any practical use, but they were fun to have around. It was good to know we had Americans at our side, because we really believed in democracy, freedom and human rights just as most Americans do.
In short, the US Army did not help in a military way during the War of Independence in Croatia during 1991 to 1995. They did help in Bosnia with operation Deliberate Force, mostly to Bosnians as the Croatian Army did too. The Croatian president of that time Franjo Tuđman told the Clinton Administration in 1995 that Croatia will NOT allow Bihac to become another Srebrenica, and Croatia WAS threatened with sanctions shall the Croatian Army continue helping Bosnians in the North of Bosnia Herzegovina. The US Army somehow wanted an exclusive right to do that in Bosnia, and actually Bill Clinton did stop that war (for a few years) and imposed peace talks. Had he not stopped the war, Croat forces would most probably have to take Banja Luka, invade Vojvodina and advance towards Belgrade. More Croats as soldiers would die, more Serb soldiers would die, politicians would eventually trade territories and make everything irrelevant.
In a way, the US Army prevented more bloodshed in Bosnia, at the time Croatian Army had impressive advancements and territory gains for the Croat Defence Council and Army of Bosnia&Herzegovina. The US Army thus helped the Serb Army to keep Banja Luka, and prevented half a million of Serb refugees fleeing to Serbia.

To the best of my knowledge, the US defense / intelligence establishment helped Croatian forces with intelligence, procurement of military equipment and armament (via deniable and off-the-books agents due to the bugfuck-crazy and downright genocidal international embargo on armament sales to Croatia imposed by the loosely defined “International Community”), maybe some electronic warfare, and funds. And of course, curtailment of air superiority of the YPA / Serbs, by the institution and enforcement of the no-fly zone, early on while they still possessed the technical and logistical ability to fly meaningful sorties. Some military advisers and military diplomatic personnel on call and on specific missions in Croatia.
It is within the realm of possible that there might have been small groups of special operatives sent on specific missions with critical mission profiles, but I have no direct knowledge of this. There were probably some extraction operations of pilots who might have gotten downed while flying reconnaissance or sortie missions over Croatian soil (either in Croatia or, more likely, Bosnia).
However, to the best of my knowledge, there was no overt and active American “boots on the ground” (Army, Air Cavalry, or Marines) military presence in Croatia or on the fronts. There are every so often some wild stories about an unrealistic level of active military support granted to Croatia by the US but those are exaggerations by overly enthusiastic fans of the US military.
To explain, the US military and diplomatic establishment has quite a knight-in-shining-armor reputation with Croatians due to their diplomatic, logistics, and intelligence support. That’s why sometimes people like to believe that the Americans also “must have been with us” on the ground. The reputation is due to the fact that American policy was such that help and active support were much more readily and evidently given than the meandering, confused, and sometimes actively criminal (by negligence) activity, or more properly said — lack thereof, of the diplomatic and military establishment of Europe, or the UN (notwithstanding the Vatican and Germany).
President Clinton is considered a shining example of moral diplomacy, having in mind that Croatia really doesn’t have any kind of resource that the US might cynically and self-servingly have been interested in the 90s, in order to account for even the level of support that was given. It is precisely because of Clinton Administration’s involvement in the Balkans, that I tend to scoff and ridicule the dismissals of Pax Americana as self-serving imperialism and aggrandizement. There were no cynical or zero-sum-game motivations for the US to get involved in the Balkans.
Of course, there were incentives in the form of nuances related to international stability, the state of affairs in Europe etc. However, such as they might have been, the diplomatic minutiae of this kind are usually not driven to the front of the debate by the old tired critics of American overseas military activity, since they are too abstract and too far conceptually removed from some easily understandable immediate gain in resources and wealth. For sure, there are opportunities for American companies and contractors wherever the American military goes, but Croatia was very much a morally motivated diplomatic effort. Even having a grateful population predisposed to a “vassal” view of their relationship with the US, in such a small, poor, and unimportant country cannot easily be said to constitute a meaningful return on the investment made on their behalf (even though it didn’t amount to “boots on the ground”). And Croatian population’s opinions of the US are far from unanimously harmonious and uncritically optimistic.

Amerikanci nisu nista organizirali niti konkretno pomagali.
Osloboditeljske akcije odradili su nasi ljudi, to se sto puta moglo cuti ali vi kojima se svidjaju srbaljski mitovi to ignorirate.
Vjerojatno mislis na MPRI program koji veze nema s osloboditeljskim akcijama.
Mislim, sto da ti pricam o tome.
