film about the US military , the F16 was replaced by the carrier fighter F18. But the basic plot was inspired by the crash that occurred in 1995. The specific event is as follows:
On June 2, 1995, Captain Scott o'Grady and a wingman pilot flew to Bosnia. In the sky above, he accidentally entered the no-fly zone of the former Yugoslav Republic and was tracked by a Serbian surface-to-air missile placed in the South Banja Luka area. In order to conceal the position of the Allied forces, the Serbs turned on the missile tracking system. Since they were convinced that there was no threat in this area, the two American F-16 fighter jets did not have electronic jamming aircraft, nor anti-radar missiles for automatic radar tracking missiles. A missile exploded between the two planes, hitting the middle of Ogedi's plane. The plane was damaged, and Ogedi pulled up the lever to eject the seat from the cockpit.
After landing safely, he quickly hid in a nearby forest. He dared not send a radio signal right away, because once the signal was sent, the Serbs would soon find out his location. On the fourth day, Ougedi sent out a rescue signal to inform him of his location. On the fifth day, he contacted the radio, and the US aircraft carrier KEARSAGE received his distress signal.
The rescue operation was carried out at night and a total of 40 aircraft were used. Two "Cobra" helicopters of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit landed at the position where O'Gedi was. At the last minute, he lit a smoke bomb and the Marines on a fighter plane rescued him. Up him.
Although their military power is very powerful, the danger still exists. Serbian ground forces began to attack helicopters with hand-held missile launchers and small arms. When the plane took off, the soldiers heard gunfire around the fuselage. American combat pilots reported that Serbian missile forces were scanning the area, but they were not given orders to destroy them. Within half an hour, the helicopter flew over the ocean and completed the mission.

film about the enemy’s history , the US military plane was shot down by the Serb army, during which the war between the Serbs and Bosnia and Herzegovina was described. The relevant background is as follows.
Bosnia and Herzegovina (abbreviated as Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a mountainous western Balkan Peninsula. nation. It is one of the six federal units that make up the former Yugoslavia, and its capital is Sarajevo. This country was independent during the Yugoslavia War in the 1990s, and according to the Dayton Agreement, she is currently a protected area of the international community, managed by a high-level representative selected by the European Parliament. The country is divided into two entities in terms of administration and management, one is the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (also known as the Muk Federation in Chinese), and the other is the Republic of Serbia.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has been inhabited by humans since the Neolithic Age. In 1377 Tvrtko Kotromani established an independent Bosnian kingdom, but in 1463 the Ottoman Empire invaded and Bosnia was annexed.
Under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, many Bosnians converted from Christianity to Islam and gradually formed the Bosnian Muslim nation. In 1878 Bosnia and Herzegovina became the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Prince Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serb nationalists in Sarajevo (see the Sarajevo Incident), leading to the first The outbreak of the world war. After the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina became part of the Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, which was later renamed Yugoslavia. During the Second World War, Bosnia and Herzegovina became part of the independent state of Croatia, the puppet state of the Axis, and returned to Yugoslavia under Tito's leadership after the war. At this time, Bosnia and Herzegovina was officially recognized as a republic of Yugoslavia, and its borders were those of the Ottoman Empire, which was quite different from the actual ethnic distribution.
Bosnia and Herzegovina declared sovereignty in October 1991 and held a referendum in February 1992 to seek independence. The Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina immediately sought to join Serbia by force with the support of Serbia, and the civil war broke out. In March 1994, the Polish (Mu) and Croats agreed to form a federation together against the Serbs. On November 21, 1995, the parties signed the Dayton Peace Agreement, ending the civil war and dividing Bosnia and Herzegovina into two entities, the Muk Federation and the Serbian Republic. In the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 200,000 people died and more than 2 million people were displaced.
After the war, NATO continued to station peacekeeping forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was replaced by the European Union at the end of 2004.

play, the U.S. pilots were hunted down by the Serb army for filming
the mass graves in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Regarding the mass graves, the details are as follows: More than 1,000 pieces of the 1995 Srei were unearthed in the largest mass grave in Bosnia. The bones of the victims of the Brienica massacre.
Murat Kultik, leader of the excavation team, said, "This is the largest mass burial site found in Bosnia and Herzegovina so far." These bones were severely damaged. This situation is in the "secondary" mass burial site. It is very typical in China. This is because the butcher moved the body from the original burial site to another place in order to conceal the crime.
In addition to these bones, the experts found 14 documents. These documents show that the victims died in the Srebrenica massacre. This was the cruelest massacre in Europe since World War II. In 1995, the Serb tribes invaded the Bosnian enclave of Sri Brenica. This area is a safe zone stipulated by the United Nations. Serb soldiers killed 8,000 adult Muslim men and boys.
Since then, the excavation team has found several mass graves throughout Bosnia, collected the corpses and performed DNA testing to determine the relatives of the deceased. Once they have determined the identity and kinship of the deceased, they will return the bones to their family members for burial.
The excavation team said they found bullets in the deceased’s body, plastic ropes and cloth strips that had been used to bind the victim’s arms.
Among the 3,500 corpses of massacre victims that have been unearthed, 2,500 have been confirmed by DNA testing. Approximately 2,000 bodies were buried in Botokali on the outskirts of Srebrenica. People saw them here for the last time. Later, they were surrounded and slaughtered by Serb soldiers here.
