===Post-Cold War=== The [[Kosovo War]], which pitted Yugoslav security forces (Serbian police and [[Armed Forces of Serbia and Montenegro|Yugoslav army]]) against Albanian separatists of the guerrilla [[Kosovo Liberation Army]], is an example of asymmetric warfare, due to Yugoslav forces' superior firepower and manpower, and due to the nature of insurgency/counter-insurgency operations. The [[NATO bombing of Yugoslavia]] (1999), which pitted NATO air power against the Yugoslav armed forces during the Kosovo war, can also be classified as asymmetric, exemplifying international conflict with asymmetry in weapons and strategy/tactics.<ref> {{cite book | last1=Bell | first1=Coral | title=First War of the 21st Century: Asymmetric Hostilities and the Norms of Combat | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=77grAAAAYAAJ | series=Working paper (Australian National University.
