Скачать или смотреть ITALY: NATO WARPLANES AT AVIANO AIRBASE

(21 Apr 1999) Natural Sound

Air raids from the Aviano airbase continued on Tuesday night as NATO
accused Serb forces of flushing out ethnic Albanians hiding in the province's hills.

Earlier in the day, NATO launched daylight attacks in Pristina and other parts of Kosovo.

Among the jets in action are prowlers and all-weather tactical F fighters.

The 20 (M) million U-S dollars Prowler jet is designed to jam enemy radar and communications and can prevent strikes on U-S aircraft.

In combat, the Prowler is usually sent off before the fighter jets.

The F fighters have combat radius which exceed that of all potential enemies' fighter aircraft.

They can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low-flying aircraft in radar ground clutter.

In another development, U-S helicopters and troops were headed toward Albania in a new phase aimed at boosting the alliance's ability to attack Yugoslav ground forces and stop their campaign to rid Kosovo of its ethnic Albanian majority.
