I see you don't like it, Gordon. Good!. BTW where are the planes
which tracks were lost by Pentagon? It is not sewing-machines.

But you're in the USAF no? How can you possibly know about
the secret aircraft that the Army has, and flew and lost in
operations over Yugoland?
The $100B of "missing" Pentagon money could easily be mapped
to 56 "missing" US aircraft of some combination of types.
If the mapping becomes difficult, all you need to do is throw
in some secret types that no one knows about and charge what
you need for them! If 55 aircraft come to only $25B, then
you only need throw in the BS-99 Aurora-Orion disc hovercraft
with plasma stealth and quad laser canons. Cost? A nifty
$75B per copy (which is why there just ain't many that anyone
knows about).
We're in anti-US, conspiro-whacko land here! Historical
record, fact and logic are useless in this place.

Personally, I'd much rather have $1T in "lost" stuff, due to the guys in the
field taking the initiative and moving stuff around where it's needed,
versus having warehouses full of well-accounted-for stuff that is too much
trouble for folks to requisition.

Aren't Michael and Venik one and the same? They still can't believe only
two fixed-wing aircraft were lost in ALLIED FORCE, no matter what even the
Yugos say admitting only two kills (interesting they've now admitted as such
now that old Slobo is now in The Hague).

Of course I see you ignored my post that pointed out the "lost" aircraft in the
GAO report were *U.S. Army* aircraft and the ones claimed shot down over Serbia
were USAF, USN and USMC. No US Army aircraft flew over Serbia, thus they could
not have been the ones claimed lost by the envious Russians. Conversely, since
the GAO didn't report lost USAF, USN or USMC aircraft that must mean the
Russian report isn't woth its weight in crap <shocking>

The Serbs are allowing me to use a computer hooked up to the internet? Mighty
nice of them. What has my family been told? Aren't they (and the media) a bit
curious about a B-52 pilot who deployed to a conflict 5 years ago and never
returned?

Shhhh. Ever wonder what happened to Mladen? The kid knew too much. The
black helos took him away in the night as he had intimate knowledge of
the 'missing' aircraft in the report. Mladen's website from 1999
claimed that he had a friend who knew the person in charge of the
Eastern part of Yugoslav airspace who had a video of 59 downed
aircraft! Maybe Michael can do some research on the video and track it
down for all of us to see?

Did Venik go back to Russia?
Last I heard, he was supposed to be a fat cat driving a
Caddy running some sort of business here in the US, but
I figure there may soon be openings for political
commissar positions in Russia before too long.

Venik, you know my real job. It is to keep all those substantial NATO
losses covered up from dedicated professional researchers like
yourself! My team is literally on breaking point after all the
detailed research that you compiled. One of the hardest jobs is
covering up all the START accountable heavy strategic bombers missing
from the US inventory. Your research, I must say, was absolutely
fantastic <g>

Now, let's get to the B-52 issue: the Pentagon announced that 11 of
these aircraft will be returning to the US. Here is the complete list
of those American aircraft that are expected to return to the US by
July 8, 1999:
"The Pentagon is ordering 300 of the aircraft it used in the Kosovo
campaign back to their bases in the United States and Europe. These
warplanes are returning to their bases in the next two weeks:
12 F-117s to Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
2 EC-130s to Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz.
4 EA-6Bs to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Wash.
3 EA-6Bs to Cherry Point Marine Air Station, N.C.
12 F-16s to Shaw AFB, S.C.
1P-3 to Brunswick NAS, Maine.
11 B-52s to Barksdale AFB, La.
6 B-1s to Ellsworth AFB, S.D.
27 KC-135 tankers to various bases.
26 F-15s to the U.S. air base at Lakenheath, England.
20 F-16s to the U.S. air base at Spangdahlem, Germany."
(source: ABC News)
A total of 18 B-52s were deployed to England at the beginning of the
aggression - 16 planes from 2nd Bomb. Wing (Barksdale AFB) and 2 from
the 5th Bomb. Wing (the latter two returned to the US earlier during
the conflict). CNN reported that all American B-52s returned to the US
(by "all" CNN meant 11.) This either means that CNN messed up or that
the 11 B-52s is in fact all that survived the war. Curiously, Serbs
claimed to have shot down or damaged five B-52s. Again, the math is
rather straight forward: 16 - 5 = 11."

entry #284: on May 20 at 3:03 a B-52H was hit over Borca (near

Dec,
Pecinci district, between Simanovci and Kupinovo."

is still unconfirmed."
"8th of May - Airfield Petrovec, Skopje Heavily damaged B-2A, after a

hit by Yugoslav air defense tried to crash-land but 'cut off' a
mountain top
instead and exploded."
"Reports that the B-2A, downed on May 20, 1999, crashed in the Spacva
forest
in Croatia are false. This information is being spread by certain
Yugoslav
officials (?) to divert public attention from the fact that B-2A wreck
is
being studied at the VTI research facility in Yugoslavia. As was
originally
reported, the aircraft crashed near Lake Obedska bara in the Dec
area."
"May 20 One American B-2A Spirit strategic stealth bomber (possibly
AV-8
88-0329 Spirit of Missouri) was shot down on 05-20-99 over Surcin at
01:00
local time. The aircraft crashed near the village of Dec (Detch),
Pecinci
county (in the field between Simanovci and Kupinovo; map 1; map2; map
3).
The flight of three B-2As (normally B-2A fly in pairs, one acting as a
backup for another) entered Yugoslavian airspace from the northwest
and was
escorted by several fighter aircraft (B-2As are usually escorted over
Yugoslavia by F-15C fighters and F-16CJ fighter/bombers in SEAD role;
every
mission of B-2As requires about 50 escort and support aircraft). The
B-2As
were detected by long-wave early-warning radars. The bombers reduced
altitude and attacked its targets in Belgrade. One of the B-2As was
hit by a
SAM in the area of the cockpit and crashed shortly after. Crew was
killed in
the crash. The incident was reported by Ilustrovana Politika magazine
on
06-01-99.
The loss of the B-2A "Spirit" on May 20, 1999, was confirmed by the
Foreign
Military Review magazine - the official publication of Russian Defense
Ministry. ITAR-TASS report here. Tanjug report here. According to the
latest
reports, the B-2A crashed near the Obedska Bara Lake in the Dec area
(villages of Simanovci and Kupinovo). An eyewitness report by a senior
Yugoslav army officer indicates that the B-2A was picked up by a radar
and
sustained a direct hit. The aircraft caught on fire and crashed not
far from
where it was intercepted by the missile. Parts of the B-2A, including
the
forward landing gear cover and pieces of the leading edge of the wing,
have
been seen at the VTI (Military Technology Institute) research facility
in
Yugoslavia. Reports that the B-2A, downed on May 20, 1999, crashed in
the
Spacva forest in Croatia are false. This information is being spread
by
certain Yugoslav officials (?) to divert public attention from the
fact that
B-2A wreck is being studied at the VTI research facility in
Yugoslavia. As
was originally reported, the aircraft crashed near Lake Obedska bara
in the
Dec area."

Again, I am flattered that you know my site by heart. Sometimes you should click those links and see my sources. As you may
suspect, I am not Milosevic or General Pavkovic, so I must be getting the info from sources other than my chief of staff
(incidentally, all of the sources are mentioned on my site).

Yes, but sadly Venik you actually believe these things happened! Again
I'll ask you how the START accountable heavy strategic bomber losses
are being covered up?
http://www.aeronautics.ru/nws001/countingmigs.htm
The above is an absolute joke. Are you aware that the Serbs came back
to the Vienna and Dayton Accord at the end of 1999 and admitted to
having lost 50 combat capable fixed wing aircraft? Out of those 11
were MiG-29s lost to all causes between 24 March 1999 and the end of
conflict. Since the end of the conflict the 127th at Batajnica has
four Fulcrum A and 1 Fulrum B left. To make up the squadron numbers
the Serbs have to rely on the 127th being predominately made up of
Fishbed and Mongol. To justify your claim you are relying solely on
the gaff made by Jamie Shea when he mixed up 29s with 21s. The only
type that left Slatina under technical agreement were those MiG-21s
filmed by UAV and caught on camera by the media as they tranisted
north.
http://www.aeronautics.ru/fakemig.htm
Please explain why you have ONE still from a near 3 minute video?. I
even offered to send you a copy of the tape and I sent you the stills
that show nothing more than the remains of a 600 gallon F-15 fuel
tank. Major Peric even admitted in interview that no ordnance was
fired by either him or his wingman and both MiGs fell in Bosnia with
their weapons load of R-73 and R-27s.

So your problem is not with my sources but with my beliefs? You are an interesting person. I don't think you are in charge
of the Russian START inspections and neither am I, so you are addressing the question to a wrong person.
