Why didn't NATO resist bombing Yugoslavia?

At that time, Yugoslavia's air defense force was technically equivalent to China's, but under the bombing of NATO, there was no room for resistance at all, not opposition, but the strength was too far apart. 1999 NATO's air attack on Yugoslavia can be said to be one of the most disparate wars in history.

The Yugoslav Air Force is equipped with castrated MIG -2 1 and MIG -29 fighters provided by the Soviet Union, and wants to violently counterattack the NATO tactical fleet. However, just like the Gulf War, every fighter plane flew together, and the wine was immediately monitored by the US high-altitude early warning aircraft and shot down by NATO's superior forces.

Even the commander of the Yugoslav air force was not spared in this war. At the same time, NATO fighters also carried Hamm anti-radiation missiles to conduct "normal patrols" over Yugoslavia, specifically attacking the radar that was being turned on for search. In this way, Yugoslavia, which has the most complete air defense system in Eastern Europe, can't start to search for targets under the all-weather surveillance of NATO fighters, which leads Yugoslavia to passively bomb or attack NATO fighters through intermittent start-up.

Finally, with the efforts of Yugoslav air defense forces, an American F- 1 17 stealth fighter was finally shot down on March 27th, 1999. As a result, the myth that stealth fighters were invincible in the Gulf War was broken, so that the United States spared no effort to find various ways to recover the wreckage and avoid further leaks. Some people even said that the bombing of the Embassy of China was due to the suspicion that the Embassy kept the wreckage of the F- 1 17 fighter plane to avoid technical leakage.

But shooting down an F- 1 17 did not change the final solution of the Kosovo war. After that, NATO carried out 78 days of high-intensity air strikes on bridges, power plants, waterworks and other targets. Yugoslavia finally gave up its resistance and chose disintegration to ensure that the Yugoslav people would no longer suffer from the war, and the Kosovo war came to an end.
