A Bosnian Serb, Bratić was killed in the Battle of Vukovar when his tank was hit by a Croatian National Guard shell, but the JNA's advantage in artillery and rockets enabled it to halt the Croatian advance and inflict heavy casualties.^[1] The battle ended up resulting in a Yugoslav/Serbian pyrrhic victory.^[1]
