A weary soldier of the Bosnian Army Fifth Corps' elite 502 "Tigers" brigade rests against a wall before heading home October 14, 1995, after his unit captured a strategic town from separtist Serb forces in the last government offensive of the Bosnian war.

On the left is Radovan Stojicic , Serb police general and former commander of the Police Special Forces and active to many operations in Kosovo and Eastern Slavonia. He was assassinated in Belgrade in 1997 three years before Arkan's murder. He was a top judoka.
Yeah, this was done almost exclusively for show. Jets flying 15.000 meters up can't really be hit by flak, and the last thing you want to do is hit a Tomahawk mid-flight over a city of two million whose inhabitants are generally out and about at all times (because F*** them, that's why).Anti-aircraft fire lights up the skies over Belgrade, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia during a NATO bombing run. June 2nd 1999
It was a spectacle, though. We used to gather on the roof of our apartment building and watch the show, high as kites.
EDIT: Oh, and I just remembered my neighbour's outburst when they started a bombing run at about 2 AM.
He was yelling from his balcony "You fascist motherfuckers, people are sleeping over here!"

german transfer tm-190 in 1999?and why transfer?

Military aid. When the JNA withdrew, they took with them everything not nailed down. So the West and Bulgaria pitched in. Later, a few arms sales deals were made with the Ukraine (T-72As, BMP-2s, Mi-24s and 17s, Su-25s).
You're welcome.

The photographs are very good, the background of them is very sad, I am not an expert in European history, but it could be said that the tough government of Marshal Tito generated many wounds that in the end ended up creating this situation

In my opinion Tito's period held together rather well, he kept all sides under control particularly those with ancient grudges to settle.

Completely agree, dear friend, I made the comment making the clarification regarding my little knowledge of politics in Europe, here in Colombia (my country), very little is spoken or known, rather it is necessary to enlighten by their own means for whom be interested, during my master's degree in international relations I read a little about it and in my master's degree in military history I met a Colombian military observer who was kidnapped during that confrontation
