Talk:Operation Storm

User Polsko-Gruzinski deleted several sourced paragraphs without any explanation. After taking a look at his other edits on Wikipedia on several Yugoslav wars topics it's clearly he is pushing some pro-Serb agenda. Please restore sourced content and ban this user. ~2025-43620-36 (talk) 20:57, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Please refrain from personal attacks. Based on my observations, Polsko-Gruzinski has removed content that was unsourced; my only concern is the removal of Europe from the Balkans to the Urals: the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, which is an Oxford University Press source. The remaining removals appear reasonable. Marshal of Italy talk 20:28, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

They've also Davor Marijan's Oluja. While it may be biased it would be good to understand the reasons behind this decision.

As to the Europe from the Balkans to the Urals: the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union the removed content wasn't *fully* supported by the source. It says nothing (at least on page 204) about who developed the Ram plan and when. Alaexis_¿question? 21:17, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Quote from Davor Marijan's book Oluja only expanded already present paragraph about Mačkovac (Nova Gradiška area) bombing by the Republika Srpska Air Force. Only targets (a church and a house) and victims (Croatian soldiers and civilians, including children) were added. Since Marijan is quoted more than dozen times in this article I don't see where is the problem.

MOD: TWO SERBIAN AIRCRAFTS SHOT DOWN

ZAGREB, August 7 (Hina) - Last night at 7:30 PM, two of Karadzic's fighter jets fired 57 mm projectiles at a chemical plant. In doing so, they committed a terrorist act that international law considers international terrorism. At 8:53 PM, Serbian terrorists fired a full charge of VRB at Karlovac. This attack on civilian objects in the city center caused great material damage, the Political Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Croatia announced today.

Today, between 10 and 11 AM, enemy aircraft, the so-called of the Army of the Republika Srpska took off from the airfield in Mahovljani and committed another act of international terrorism against the civilian population in the Croatian cities of Sisak, Županja, Požega, Daruvar, Novska, Orahovica and Slatina, where they fired at civilian targets.

The towns of Mackovac and Savski Bok were also rocketed. So far, it is known that two people were killed, eleven people were wounded, and material damage was also caused.

The Croatian air defense shot down two enemy "Orao" type aircraft, which had previously rocketed Mackovac and Savski Bok.

It should be noted that the enemy air force violated the flight ban over Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is monitored by NATO. Since this is an act of international terrorism, which, as the press release points out, given that terrorists do not shy away from targeting chemical plants, could cause a large-scale ecological disaster, endangering human lives and polluting the environment, the Croatian public expects Europe and the world to finally take some measures against such unprecedented actions. Such an action in the military sense has no meaning and can only be evaluated as a crime against civilian shooting in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. As the threat of an ecological disaster threatens, it may have wider international consequences, announced the Political Administration of the Ministry of Defense.

"In the mid-1990s, the Balkan conflict involved frequent attacks on chemical production facilities. From 1993 to 1995, for example, Serbian forces launched six attacks on a Petrochemia facility near Kutina, Croatia, that stored large quantities of anhydrous ammonia as well as a variety of other potentially hazardous chemicals; these attacks involved rockets, bombs, artillery, and mortars. Serbian forces are also known to have targeted a pesticide production facility at Sisak and a natural gas refinery in Ivanic. Although none of these attempts was wholly successful, subsequent U.S. modeling efforts indicated that if the attacks had destroyed existing stored chemical containers, lethal concentrations of chemicals would likely have spread over a wide area."

RAM Plan has it's own article on Wikipedia with sources about it's timeline and creators.

"The RAM (lit. "frame") Plan was developed over the course of 1990.^[1] It was finalized in Belgrade, Serbia during a military strategy meeting in August 1991 by a group of Serb officers of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), including General Blagoje Adžić, General Major Milan Gvero, Major Čedo Knežević, Lieutenant Colonel Radenko Radinović, and General Aleksandar Vasiljević,^[2] and experts from the JNA's Psychological Operations Department.^[3]" ~2026-27005 (talk) 11:09, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
