Corrections

Møller didnt really give the order,he didnt have radio contact to the platoon who fought the serbs. The danes had 10 leopards,but one platoon (3 tanks) were kept in reserve. The rockets used for the initial attack against the danes were sagger. It was an prepared ambush by the serbs,targeting a small NATO country.Probably the serbs were not aware of the thermal sight capabilities of the leopard 1a5(personel opinion) The danes took a heavy toll on the serbs ,according to most unoficcial information. Later the serbs kindda admitted "we tried but lost" The previous unsigned comment was added by 195.215.95.208(contribs/talk), at 18:06 (UT) on 19 April 2008.

As contrary to information given in the discussion section, Möller did have full contact with the 7 Leopard tanks from the Swedish FTCP APC of type PBV302, which was equiped to handle simultanious communication between 4 different Radio Networks.

Möller ordered himself, without hesitation, QL1, CO of the Danish Tank squadron to return fire onto the BSA side, over QL radio frequency.

This APC also carried the Nordbat 2 CO Colonel Christer Svensson, who formally had command over the party of 7 tanks, 1 Swedish APC and one Norwegian medical APC, Möller being executive officer.

Furthermore its stated that the initial missiles were soviet SAGGER type, which was judged unlikely at the time, due to the fact that they were too accurate under night conditions to lack night visibility gear.

Type was stated as unknown.

Interesting to note is that Danish tank crews experienced a problem never before thought of during the battle.

The used 120mm shells were ejected into the tank crews working area and proposed a serious threat to their ability to function under fire, due to the fact of large brass shells rolling around inside the tank.

This was solved by simply throwing them out through small-arms ports in the tanks turrets.

In the German version it is said, that the Leopard1 tanks (at the beginning there is sth. with "Snow Leopards" - that doesnt exist as a tank, btw) kept the T55 unharmed, because they didnt shot and because of the UN-mission only shooting back would have been allowed (" Die anwesenden drei T-55 des serbischen Militärs wurden nach Angaben Møllers vom dänischen Militär bei dem Gefecht verschont, weil die Infrarot-Beobachtung der (kalten) Panzerkanonen belegte, dass diese zwar ihre Zieleinrichtungen aktiviert, aber nicht direkt an den Kampfhandlungen teilgenommen hatten. Nach den strengen UN-Mandatsregeln dürfen nur gegen feuernde Einheiten das Feuer erwidert werden.[2]") — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.254.16.84 (talk) 16:17, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Confusing picture

This article is regarding combat between Serbs and UN-forces. Showing a picture of "Bosnian Serb army T-55 tank protecting UN forces." will IMO confuse the majority of the readers. Kos93 uploaded the picture and is the only one who knows when and exactly where it was taken, and who's on the picture. Later he revealed that it was Bosnian-Serbian army T-55 protecting UN forces, which is a bit out of place here!
Perhaps I’ve overlooked the fact that it was meant ironic, but I don’t think that irony belongs to a serious encyclopaedia. Necessary Evil 14:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

what is confusing is why Nato set up stupid rules — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.191.14 (talk) 18:36, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Bad translation

I don't think "Operation Hooligan Bashing" is a good translation. A better would be "Operation Bully Bash", in my opinion.

In Danish, a "bølle" is a rough, rude, and violent person, just like the English word "bully". Whereas a "hooligan" implies a violent sports fan.

"Bøllebank" is a term in Danish that implies a rough beating, as a bully might do. But it can also be interpreted in the opposite way: that it's when the bullies get beaten up. And I think that is the meaning intended for the operation. 77.233.228.141 (talk) 10:03, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
