Spanish Fighter Pilots Admit NATO Purposely Attacks
Civilian Targets

June 14, 1999

Articulo 20 (Spain-weekly) By Jose Luis Morales
(thanks to Bill Blum for finding and sending this to ZNet)

The pilots of Spanish planes who participated in bombing raids
against Yugoslavia do not feel like "supermen" nor masters of
aerospace. Quite the contrary, they say that our forces play to
the tune of music played by the North Americans, and accuse NATO
of having honoured with medals the bombing of civilian targets,
what they otherwise name "collateral damages".

Captain Adolfo Luis Martin de la Hoz, who returned to Spain at
the end of May after having participated in the bombings from the
beginning, an "authentic expert for the dreadful F-18", the war
plane most often used in the war strategy of "scorched land" in
the Balkans, is very categoric: "First of all, I want to make it
clear that the majority, I say the majority, of my colleagues,
even if not all, are against the war in general and against this
war of barbarity in particular." "A few days ago, there appeared
in the papers certain statements of Commander Maches Michavilla,
who is now in the air base at Aviano with the pilots who replaced
us, in which he said that our main helper in the air was mental
and physical health. But I tell you that our worst enemies are
our own authorities, the Defence Minister and all his team, the
members of the Government, who know nothing about war and go
along with it without informing themselves about anything and,
what is gravest, who are guilty of lying to the Spanish people
through the papers, radio and television, foreign correspondents
and press agencies."

The suspicions that NATO's repeated bombings of civilian victims
and non-military targets are not the result of war "errors", are
confirmed by Captain Martin de la Hoz:

"Several times our colonel protested to NATO chiefs as to why
they select targets which are not military targets. They threw
him out with curses, saying that we should know that the North
Americans would lodge a complaint to the Spanish Army, once
through Brussels and again to the Defence Minister. But there is
more, and I want to tell it to the whole world: once there was a
coded order from the North American military that we should drop
anti-personnel bombs over the localities of Prishtine (Pristina)
and Nish (Nis). The colonel refused it altogether and, a couple
of days later, the transfer order came. But what I say now is
nothing compared to what I shall have to say when the time
comes."

The Spanish military denounces that "the Spanish Government not
only does not try to inform themselves, but that they also accept
the false reports that are edited for them in Aviano, where there
is a sort of military press cabinet in the hands of North
American generals and functionaries. Ever since we arrived in
Italy - the captain goes on - there is no end to humiliations and
insults. The only order-givers are the North American generals,
and no one else. We are zeroes, just as our replacements are
going to be.

But there is still more to that. Here, they say that several
operations were directed by Spanish commanders and pilots. Lies
over lies. All the missions that we flew, every single one, were
planned by high U.S. military authorities. Even more, they were
all planned in detail, including attacking planes, targets and
type of ammunition that we have to drop. We never directed
anything, and our missions were limited to flying over the
borders of Macedonia, Albania, Bosnia and Slovakia (Slovenia?)."
