That Prishtina affair nearly started ww3, not to say Nato's involment in Yugoslavia spoiled relations between Rus and Nato for good

Remember the build up, all the traffic suddenly. Mozdok getting very active. Momon troops getting ready. We had a map showing all the troops on it moving.
48-72 hours later russians collumns in the town of Grozny, some of them basically fighting for their life. First heli that crashed. Momon troops not armed/trained for this taking casualties. Sometimes no crypto or code used in those situations. Collumns still in route stopped, waiting for fuel. Logistics in those earlier days where really pooh-pooh imo.
Already quit some reports of soldiers with 1-shot through their foot wounds....

Beers to you!
As for me . . . US Army, Armored Cavalry, 1981-86. Platoon Leader and Troop XO, mostly in Germany in the Fulda Gap area - Bad Kissingen, to be precise. Glad to see several Bundeswehr veterans on the board . . . I enjoyed my time in Germany, the
deutsche were very good to me, and much more tolerant of tanks rolling around their neighborhoods than American civilians would have been in similar circumstances.
