• ... that the former international airport of Zagreb, Croatia is the helicopter base for the anti-terrorist police unit, work in which gave MMA multiple world champion Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović his nickname?

  Sources:

• former international airport - p. 99 "From 1 April 1947 until 1959, the Zagreb Airport at Lučko had the facilities and equipment required for domestic and, later on, international air traffic. Zagreb was linked via Lučko with the whole country and with some of the most important cities in Europe."
• helicopter base for Lučko ATU - "Voze Humveeje i Touarege, a na raspolaganju imaju i helikoptere Bell 212 i Eurocopter 135. Kažu da za 30 minuta mogu doći na najudaljenije točke hrvatskog teritorija iz svoje baze u Lučkom" / "They {Lučko ATU members} drive Humvees and Touaregs, and also have Bell 212 and Eurocopter 135 helictopers at their disposal. They say they can reach the most remote points of Croatia's territory in 30 minutes from their base in Lučko."
• Cro Cop was a member of Lučko ATU - "After years of service in the 1990s—during which time he also trained boxing and won multiple amateur championships—Cro Cop worked his way into the Lučko Anti-Terrorist Unit, Croatia’s elite special forces police unit."

• Comment: Nominating this now to avoid losing the 7 day window. The 5x expansion is done but the articles still need some touching up. I'll get to that in the following few days. Daß Wölf 13:16, 13 August 2019 (UTC) I think that should be all done now. Daß Wölf 01:16, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Overall: The Lučko Anti-Terrorist Unit article has 2 pictures which could possibly be used. I have struck ALT0, and approve ALT1 (to which I have added "MMA champion" before "Cro Cop", just to give an idea of who that is.
Daß Wölf, this certainly meets DYK requirements for sources, but I was wondering which source the info in the sentence starting "Its first missions were ... " came from? Would you be able to add a citation there? This doesn't affect approval of the hook, but would make the article stronger. RebeccaGreen (talk) 08:54, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

@Daß Wölf: I meant to say above, while I still had the sources open, that I noticed that one of the sources mentioned an award given to the whole unit. That would be useful information to add to the article, I think. RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:26, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
