Serbia is finally arming!
We are getting as a military aid from Russia:
6
MiG-29 multirole fighters
30
T-72B3 main battle tanks
30
BRDM-2 armored reconnaissance vehicles
They are not new, but are all for free. We will only pay for general overhaul and modernisation of 6+4 MiG-s (we already have 4), and it will be a bellow market price.
They will have radars with a range of 120km, and we will buy air-to-air missiles what have a range of 80km. With them, will have one of the most capable multirole fighter aircrafts in Europe.
We had also bought 2 new
Mi-17 medium multirole/transport helicopters, which have arrived couple of months ago.
We are also buying 9 new
Airbus H145M light utility helicopters (6 for army, 3 for police).
Still no confirmed news on air defence systems. It seems that it will have to wait for 2018.
But there is a talk of possible 2K22 Tunguska short range, Buk M-1/M-2 medium range tactical air defence systems. And also, but not likely, FD-2000 long range strategic air-defence system. We will see.
