I've done some research and haven't found anything regarding aircraft being shot down by SAM missiles due to misidentification of an enemy target due to the use of microwave ovens. However, it is an established fact that microwave ovens were used to simulate tanks and other ground targets in order to "waste" NATO missiles, and were usually promptly destroyed, allowing the Yugoslavians to save some of their equipment. SAM missiles were NOT used in conjunction with the decoys, from what I've read from both NATO and Russian reports. The only controversy surrounding NATO losses is regarding the number of aircraft downed, not the cause behind the destruction of any aircraft. If you can find another link, please do so. I'm always willing to learn something new.
