Is This the Wildest F-16 Dogfight Story You’ve Never Heard Of? | Banja Luka Incident Reaction

In this When F-16 Falcons Ate Hawks for Breakfast reaction, we break down an animated retelling of the 1994 Banja Luka incident — the first combat engagement in NATO’s history. Six Bosnian Serb J-21 “Hawk” jets violate a NATO no-fly zone and end up being intercepted by U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons, with multiple jets shot down in a matter of minutes.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
We are reacting to “When F-16 Falcons Ate Hawks for Breakfast” and diving into what makes this dogfight so intense to watch. In this reaction, we talk about:
• The setup (volunteer J-21 pilots on a bombing mission in violation of a NATO no-fly zone)
• The intercept (how the patrolling F-16s get vectored in, lock up the targets, and go weapons free)
• Missiles & tactics (AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder shots, low-level chases through valleys, and desperate evasive maneuvers)
• Human side of the story (pilots ejecting, near escapes, and even an F-16 pilot choosing not to finish off a crippled enemy jet)

It’s a wild look at how modern air power, radar, and missile tech turned one morning mission into a historic air battle.
