Is that a '' throw away '' remark or do you have examples ? BTW I have upmost respect for Maurizio , he posts regularly and he has to keep his homebase contacts happy,so it's fully understood from him.Wildpicture wrote:Very wise!

From the Balkan conflict we learned how valuable information from "spotters" can be.

If my memory serves me right you may be referring to the F117 Nighthawk which was downed after information leaked from within NATO about its intentions......Wildpicture wrote:Very wise!

Not just the F117. Communications on cell phones were intercepted, indicating that there were people who transmitted info on the exact times and numbers of the planes taking off. Based on that info the Serbians could predict quite well when the planes (and how many) would arrive, which was very valuable info to their air defence.Bennie wrote:If my memory serves me right you may be referring to the F117 Nighthawk which was downed after information leaked from within NATO about its intentions......Wildpicture wrote:Very wise!
