What are these people smoking?
They have been at it for years! Numerous groups and individuals still believe to this day that those losses actually occurred. I feel sorry for the Serbian and Montenegro air defence conscripts. They have probably been taught this hogwash regarding 'NATO losses' since the end of the conflict.
PPRuNe even gets a mention!
"Pilots Vent Fury at RAF on Web, Antony Barnet writes: "Pilots currently serving in the Gulf, and others recently back from Kosovo, are so angry about defective equipment and low morale they are flooding the secret site with complaints aimed at senior officers." The "secret" site is the PPRuNe message board for military pilots. I've spent several days at that site fishing for information until that Sherlock from The Observer scared everyone away with his article."

Any Tonka crew want to admit to leaving their fuel tanks in Serbia on 26 May 1999?
