NATO to hold Determined Falcon drills over Albania and Kosovo
NATO will deploy warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft over Albania and Macedonia on Monday in a tough show of force named Determined Falcon. The exercise aims to press Yugoslav President Milosevic to halt the Kosovo fighting, with projected high altitude attack runs to avoid ground visibility and to be detectable by Yugoslav radar. More than 300 people have died in the conflict.
