NATO Yugoslavia Air Campaign Shows Mixed Results
NATO and U S led airstrikes against Yugoslavia demonstrated coalition limits and costly outcomes. Milosevic conceded after 72 days but no ground invasion occurred, casualties cited 5 000 to 10 000 for Yugoslav forces. Lessons include leadership flaws and enduring alliance unity despite split views. The B 2 stealth bomber proved capable for long range missions from the United States.

NATO peacekeepers aim to secure a slow, orderly return for about 855,000 refugees amid mines, water shortages, damaged roads, and ongoing tensions with Serbs and the Kosovo Liberation Army.
