Currently this article "smells" of Serbian heroism propaganda! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.12.42.237 (talk) 23:17, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Occupation

According to the documentary Thhe 21th Second Zoltan is not a banker but a BAKER! See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XNKWeXDmCk 17 Seconds in to the movie. The serbian word for Baker is PEKAR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.30.9.224 (talk) 11:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Awesome

What a guy. He definately should have a page and more should be added about him, his personal life et cetera. But which ever way you look at it there are less important people on this and who else has shot down two of the most technically advanced warplanes with 60s era Soviet weaponary?

Well, considering that there is article about Scott O'Grady, and evetything he did is ejecting from his downed F-16, Dani well deserves article on wikipedia.

Although, article lacks date of birth and more info about his education within JNA, and pre 1999 biography details. Dragoljub Kojadinovic (talk) 02:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Golden Eagle

The november 2009 issue of hungarian military aviation magazine "Aranysas" (Golden Eagle) has the definitive article on Dani Zoltán and what he achieved as a serbian military SAM unit commander. Now all this info has been added to the article. It took me a good hour and a half or so. 87.97.109.177 (talk) 00:05, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

So why Zoltan Dani was unable to shut down another F-117a during the campaign inspite of the presence of another 24 F-117a with NATO forces !!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.8.246.12 (talk) 06:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

After the F-117's loss, NATO started to "pamper" the stealth planes, with many airborne jammers and HARM shooters providing close-in top cover and actively hunting for any SAM radar guidance radar that started to emit. Also, the serbian spy network in Italy was dismantled around the middle of the air war campaign, so Belgrade was no longer real-time aware of sorties flying out of Aviano and thus it became very difficult to interdict the NATO attack planes in time.

The downing of the F-117 was an exceptional event, mostly done deal by the hubris of the NATO Air Forces commanders feeling invulnerable. The other downed plane, the F-16, well, its pilot acted like a lone Colt hero from a cowboy movie, stupidly trying to duel with an SAM site alone, rather then running away and calling for wild veasel reinforcement to make a big coordinated NATO strike. No wonder he was nailed by a "flying telephone pole".

The initial silly behaviour of NATO was a necessary factor to allow Zoltan Dani make shootdowns with his unit's obsolete equipment. After NATO smartened up, there was little the serbs could do because the russian "humanitarian" shipment of modern SA-10 missiles on Kamaz trucks was not allowed to cross the border by hungarian authorities. 91.83.15.117 (talk) 20:02, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Fishy distance travelled numbers

"with the trucks travelling more than 100.000 km during the 78 days of Kosovo War" 100,000km / 78 is 1282km a day, which is 53km/h, constantly 24/7 for 78 days. That number seems beyond fishy, it's wrong. So I'm deleting it. Hammerfrog (talk) 05:26, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

His ethnicity

I just saw an interview with him with the occasion of the National Day of Romania. He and his mother both spoke Romanian. His mother is Romanian and he is at least half Romanian. I don't know anything about his father, maybe his father is a Hugarian originating from Bucovina like it is written in the article. Does anybody know more about this? Maybe Zoltan Dani can clear the things up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.116.99.5 (talk) 21:27, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
