「現在までのところA-10がユーゴ攻撃で投入されたとい
う情報はあるのでしょうか。
もしA-10が使われれば、当然劣化ウラン弾使用の可能性が非常に濃厚なわけで
す。劣化ウラン弾が使われれば、当然民間人にも長期的な線被曝などの影響が
避けられません。これは人道上許されない兵器なのですが、このことについて
NATOやペンタゴンがコメントしているかどうかご存じの方は教えてください。」
A．ベーコン 補佐の発言では A-10sは常駐しているようです。また攻撃陣にも加わって
きたとはいえ、size=3>劣化ウランを使用した攻撃を行ったかどうかは
彼の発言だけではわかりません 下記の４月５日付、国防総省のブリーフィングを
ご覧ください。しかし攻撃に出かけて何もせずに引き返す確率は高いのでしょうか。
DoD News Briefing
Monday, April 5, 1999 - 3:15 p.m. <http://www.defenselink.mil/ >http://www.defenselink.mil/
Presenter: Mr. Kenneth H. Bacon, ASD PA （ 国防総省補佐/公務
）
Q: Ken, have the Apaches started to move? And if not,
how are they going to move? And with the good weather,
have you started using A-10s yet?
Mr. Bacon: First of all, the Apaches have not yet started to move. How they
move is still being worked out. They could fly down themselves.
They could be carried in other planes, and that will all be worked
out as we work out other details, such as the precise placement. I had said
they could go to Tirane. It turns out they could go someplace else now.
We may decide not to put them in Tirane in order not to clog up that
airport for a period time while humanitarian aid is coming in.
Q: Two quick things. By somewhere else, do you mean somewhere
else in Albania?
Mr. Bacon: All in Albania. That's where they're going. Albania.
Q: Have you started using the A-10s yet?
Mr. Bacon: Well, as I've explained many times, we are using the A-10s
regularly in an observation capacity. I'm not aware yet that
they have dropped any ordnance. They have been in strike packages,
but I don't know whether they've stuck（struck では？）anything yet.size=4>
