| Popis: | Na temelju izvorne dokumentacije vojnih i civilnih ustanova pobunjenih hrvatskih Srba te postrojbi Jugoslavenske narodne armije prikazano je stanje i djelovanje srpskih snaga, uključujući Jugoslavensku narodnu armiju, na okupiranom prostoru općina Glina i Petrinja, na kojem je u prosincu 1991. izvedena operacija Hrvatske vojske „Vihor”. Opisana su i borbena djelovanja hrvatskih snaga u tom dijelu Pokuplja koja su prethodila operaciji. Dan je temeljit uvid u pripremu i tijek protunapada srpskih snaga, iz kojega je očita njihova nadmoć u artiljeriji i oklopu te doprinos starješina Jugoslavenske narodne armije izvedbi protunapada. Na kraju su izneseni i uspoređeni gubici obiju strana u ljudstvu i borbenim sredstvima, čime su sumirani učinci i posljedice operacije „Vihor”. By referring to original documents of the military and civilian institutions of the rebel Serbs as well as those of the Yugoslav People’s Army, this paper outlines the state and the activity of the aggressor forces in the occupied area of the Glina and Petrinja Districts, where Operation Whirlwind was carried out in December 1991. The military activities of the Croatian forces in this part of the Pokuplje region that preceded the operation are also described. A thorough insight into the preparation and course of the enemy counterattack in Operation Whirlwind is given, with a comparison of losses on both belligerent sides. Considering everything stated, the aggressor’s superiority in artillery and armour is obvious, as is the contribution of the Yugoslav People’s Army in carrying out the counterattack. |
