An authentic video of the fall of Serbian hero Milenko Pavlovic: The entire Valjevo watched his last battle (VIDEO)

Milenko pulled out a young pilot from the cockpit and flew away from his birth place. He approached the plane and said: "Damn it, children, you won't die, I will!"

Milenko Pavlovic, the commander of the 204th Hunting-Aviation Regiment, sacrificed himself to save his younger colleague from a certain death which was waiting for him in an unequal battle with NATO aviation. The footage of his fall causes great sadness and anger.

When the order arrived to take off on NATO planes who flew over Valjevo on 4th May 1999, Pavlovic was on duty in the command center in Stara Pazova. He told his deputy to stop the younger colleague from flying and he went to Batajnica.

Milenko pulled out a young pilot from the cockpit and flew away from his birth place. He approached the plane and said: "Damn it, children, you won't die, I will!"

The battle took place over Valjevo, 50 kilometers from Pavlovic birth place Gornje Crniljevo, and when a fireball appeared in the sky in front of a large number of eyewitnesses, people of Valjevo thought that NATO plane was shot.

Soon, however, there was a news that the remains of the "Mig 29" fell down in Petnica.

Milenko Pavlovic did not eject. Right upon the takeoff, his alternating current generator failed, and virtually made him "blind", his radar wasn't working, and he had 16 NATO fighters against him in the attack on military factory "Krusik".

He managed to scatter them at first, but then he was struck by rockets of the Dutch F-16 from Tuzla region.

It was Milenko's last flight, and the last flight against NATO aggression - 11 "Migs" were destroyed till then, six in the air and five on the ground.

Pavlovic was posthumously decorated with the Order of Courage and the Golden Flight Badge.
