This enabled the JNA's 252nd Armoured Brigade to retake the ground that it had lost.

The plan was abandoned after the Battle of Vukovar exhausted the JNA's ability to prosecute the war further in Croatia.

Kadijević later justified the JNA's offensive against Vukovar on the grounds that it was part of the " backbone of the Croatian army " and had to be " liberated ".

The JNA's periodical Narodna Armija claimed after the battle that Vukovar " had for decades been prepared to support German military penetration down the Danube.

It mounted a heavy bombardment of the JNA's access routes to Vukovar and a tank attack on JNA lines.

Croatian forces countered the JNA's attacks by mining approach roads, sending out mobile teams equipped with anti-tank weapons, deploying many snipers, and fighting back from heavily fortified positions.

JNA General Mladen Bratić was killed when his tank was hit by a shell, but the JNA's advantage in artillery and rockets enabled it to halt the Croatian advance and inflict heavy casualties.

Although the JNA's intervention successfully brought an end to the fighting, it had the effect of consolidating the front lines in the region and preventing any further Croatian operations against the rebel Serbs.

The JNA's soldiers appeared to have little understanding of how to conduct urban operations and its officers displayed slow and reactive decision-making on the ground.

The JNA's lack of infantry support was due to a disastrously low level of mobilisation in the preceding months.

He established new headquarters and command-and-control arrangements to resolve the disorganisation that had hindered the JNA's operations.

The JNA's Operational Group South now began to systematically clear the town centre, cutting off the remaining groups of defenders.

According to Anton Tus, the JNA's Novi Sad corps alone lost 1, 300 soldiers during the campaign in eastern Slavonia.

Although the battle was publicly portrayed as a triumph, behind the scenes it profoundly affected the JNA's character and leadership.

The JNA's failure enabled the Serbian government to tighten its control over the military, whose leadership was purged and replaced with pro-Milošević nationalists.

The next day the JNA's Užice Corps took control of Višegrad, positioning tanks and heavy artillery around the town.
