All burger planes would get one clapped and NATO would have to decide between doing an amphibious assault ala WW2 and lost thousands of troops or just call it quits
Serbs cant fight

Chinese military in 1999 was not even Iraq tier.
>Russia
Could’ve supplied some modern SAM but the problem is there‘d be only one route for them to come into the country which is through the ports in MonteBlack. America would just cease any Russian shipping going into Yugoslavia.

Couldn't they fly in supplies via Ukraine/Romania? Romania wasn't in NATO and Ukraine wasn't even Western-aligned back then so I doubt there's anything the United States could have really done about.
Romania blocked them from flying something into Yugoslavia back then iirc.
Didn't know that.
>if Russia or China decided to support Yugoslavia?? In 1999??
You know Wikipedia exists for a reason right? You should know something about the conflict before asking this moronic of a question. Yugoslavia was part of the greater Soviet Union. When the SU collapsed in 91, it obviously sent out shock waves that crumbled the empire.
The Balkans, being known for fighting each other all the time, did not disappoint and immediately fractured back into the separate ethnic states that had always been there. So, your question doesn’t make sense. Once the money and enforcement stopped, the Balkan's went right back to fighting each other.
>But what if Russia decided to support Yugoslavia?
Russia collapsed and Yugoslavia fractured and likewise collapsed because Russia fell. It wouldn’t matter if Russia “supported” Yugoslavia. This question doesn’t make sense.
>what if china supported?
How? By 1999, Yugoslavia was split. Are you implying it was a potential proxy war between the reds and the west? No absolutely not. Everyone wanted to stay as far away from that as possible because you have 8 different ethnic groups scattered amongst each others countries and they all hate each other and have different religions (Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim)
TLDR no one would or could “support” “it” and none of the “support” would have mattered anyway
was part of the greater Soviet Union.
Nope.
Yugoslavia was part of the Soviet Union until Tito split in the 60s but by all intents and purposes it basically remained a state of the Soviet Union

What the frick are (you) on about?
Yugoslavia was never, ever part of Soviet Union. You absolute mongrel.
>Yugoslavia was part of the greater Soviet Union
Russia directly intervened by independently capturing Pristina airport, which is already far more than anything the US has done for Ukraine, but overall it didn't change anything.
