If anyone has questions about a certain photo(s) feel free to ask.

Old is gold 🙂

Part I

Anyone else notice it is actually a GLIDER? It has no engine…

It indeed seems so.Most probably used only to test the aerodynamics properties of that wing form. I guess the next prototype would have had some kind of a jet engine(s),much like Horten Ho IX V1 (glider) and Ho IX V2 (jet powered).

The Mi24v and the AN72 would be realistic especially as an24 operated by the Serbian airforce are heavily used. Mi24 would be usefull for border and police duties.

Serbia has not got the money to support a jet like the Su30, personel would need to be trained and fuel would need to be bought to feed those thirsty Saturn AL31’s. The Serbian air force can barely afford to keep the jets it has in service in the air. Leasing in many ways would be even more expensive then an out right purchase. Russia can’t afford to just give away 30 brand new fighter jets itself.

The best that Serbia can hope for at the moment is to maintain a corp of proficient pilots to allow them the basis to build up a new force if the economy recovers. The best kind of things for that would be a small amount of cheap trainer types like the PC7 and the L39.

Serbian Air Force uses An-26s,not An-24.Currently only one of them is in flying condition and will get overhauled.

well thats what i heard from the goverment but i forgot to add something about it they wrote down they are going to purchuse or lease its for sure going to be a lease.

Goverment never said anything like that as they have more important things to allocate funds to.
