Hello friends.

I have question regarding the circumstances of downing of Vega-31. It has long been said that on that night only the Stealth aircraft flew over Serbia, no SEAD and no ECM. But the book "NATO's Air War for Kosovo A Strategic and Operational Assessment" by Rand...

...in Chapter 6, page 118 claims the following:

"The second alleged procedural error entailed an EA-6B support jammer that was said to have been operating not only too far away from the F-117 (80 to 100 miles) to have been of much protective value, but also out of proper alignment with the offending threat radars, resulting in inefficient jamming."

Though this jammer would not impact the operation of SNR-125, it might had impact on operation on P-18 radar, which might explain why the F-117 was detected at such short range. Does anyone has any information if the meter-wave jamming was actually present on that occasion?
