It ended with a decisive victory for Croatian forces, simultaneously freeing Bihać enclave and gaining of approximately 200 km² of territory previously held by Serb forces. Together with Operation Flash, Operation Jump 1, Operation Jump 2 and especially Operation Summer '95, it paved the way for Operation Storm, which ended Croatian War of Independence, and political entities known as Republic of Western Bosnia and Serb Republic of Krajina.
