Editing AGM-88 HARM (section)

==Evaluation==
During [[Operation Allied Force]], NATO reportedly fired 743 HARMs during the course of the 78-day campaign, but could confirm the destruction of only three of the original 25 [[SA-6]] batteries. Over half of the HARMs expended were preemptive targeting shots (PETs), fired at suspected SAM sites, but without a radar to target. During the campaign, Serbian SAM sites fired more than 800 SAMs with only two NATO aircraft downed; the majority from fixed sites were fired without radar guidance. Radars were also forced to operate for only 20 seconds or less to avoid destruction by HARMs. According to Benjamin Lambeth, the [[F-117]] that was downed did not have support from HARM-carrying F-16CJ aircraft.<ref>{{Citation |last=Lambeth |first=Benjamin |date=2001 |title=NATO's Air War for Kosovo: A Strategic and Operational Assessment |location=Santa Monica, CA |publisher= RAND |url=https://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1365.html |pages=106–118 |jstor=10.7249/mr1365af |doi=10.7249/MR1365 |isbn=978-0-8330-3050-4}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Lyon |first=Charles |date=1 December 1999 |title=Operation Allied Force: A Lesson on Strategy, Risk, and Tactical Execution |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA431703 |location=Washington, D.C. |publisher=National War College |pages=13–23 }}</ref>
