ABOUT THE BOOK

“MASKIROVKA stands out from other military thrillers because it blends meticulously researched realism with a rarely explored angle of modern conflict: Belgrade’s use of Maskirovka, the Russian art of deception and surprise.

Readers are taken into cockpits, submarines and destroyers of the French Navy. Drawing on true events and authentic technology, the book offers not just action, but a fresh “what if” scenario that rewrites how the Kosovo War could have unfolded—making it both thought-provoking and pulse-pounding.”

Kosovo War 1999.

The air campaign does not go as planned.
Despite NATO’s overwhelming firepower, the Yugoslav defences are far more dangerous than expected. Worse, daring operations launched against allied forces suggest significant foreign support.

Without complete air dominance, the ground offensive to liberate Kosovo cannot start.
Before the war, a resurgent Cold War superpower made Belgrade an offer impossible to refuse. Russia is ready to send its best expert on Maskirovka, the Russian art of surprise and deception, to help Yugoslav forces to fight off NATO’s air power.
Moscow hopes to ridicule NATO and reclaim its place on the world stage.

In the air, on the ground and at sea, the French and their allies are facing an enemy equipped with some of the most advanced Russian weapons while trying to restrain a partner on the verge of sparking World War III.
