General Estimate: Damage Report

Sun., April 16, 2000

The Yugoslav Army’s top commander claimed in an interview published Saturday that his forces suffered scant losses in last year’s air war with NATO.

Col. Gen. Nebojsa Pavkovic told the state-run Tanjug news agency that he lost 13 tanks and 10 other armored vehicles out of a total of about 600-800 combat vehicles deployed at the time in the southern province of Kosovo.

NATO estimated it hit 389 artillery and mortar pieces, 153 armored personnel carriers, 93 tanks and 339 military vehicles.
