On 28 June, 105th Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment carried out its first combat assignment from Zemunik AB. The first jet to take-off was this G-4 Super Galeb, serial number 23727, from 249th Fighter-Bomber Aviation Squadron, armed with a pair of L128-04MD pods for 128mm unguided rockets (inboard pylons) and carrying two 350-litre drop tanks (outboard pylons). M74 (HE warhead) and M-80 (HEAT warhead) unguided rockets were deployed in large numbers during the wars in Slovenia and then in Croatia, but for operations over Slovenia, usually only two or three were loaded per launcher, to lessen the total weight of the aircraft and thus extend the range. 249th Squadron later moved to Udbina AB, where it was much closer to most of the battlefields in Croatia.
