RJ,
No. Lots of opportunities but the UN ROE chain at the time was far too unweildy to be of use. All warring factions knew this and often replied with abuse or sarcasm to the standard warning transmitted over guard by AWACS and the fighters.
The only time anything was shot down was in Feb 94 when a load of Serb Super Galebs were splashed by USAF F-16s when witnessed attacking the Muslim enclave at Bihac. One of the pilots involved in that engagement was one Capt Scott O'Grady although he didn't get any kills himself.
Regards,
M2
