What about inviting the co-operation of one or two friendly countries, lets say Ukraine or Romania, for further development of a light trainer/light attack aircraft to replace Utva 75s and G4 Galebs?
Serbia itself doesn’t have a need for more than 40-50 of such aircraft so lone development & production would not be profitable but with 150-200 orders, it would be a completely different story.
I believe both the air forces of Montenegro and Serb Republic will be transferred to Serbia. About 70-80 aircraft in total. Mostly Gazellas, Galeb G-4s and J-22’s. Some Mi-8 as well.
What we will do with them…I don’t know.
I personally would love to see Montenegro maintain some fixed-wing aircraft, at least for pilot training for some better times that surely lie ahead.
Maybe a small squadron of Yak-130’s (6-10 aircraft)
ROmania & Serbia should reinitiate co-operation and build another light fighter jet…for our pilot training needs.
I chatted to a friend of mine today and he told me that a few days ago an An-26 took off from Batajnica (he lives near the base) and flew north. Now, he couldn’t say if it was a Serbian AF one as it was silouetted against a bright sky and he couldn’t make out the markings… I’m hoping that it could be a significant sighting… But who knows.
I believe it simply flew to the airshow in Constanta, Romania….in support of other Serbian Air Force aircraft performing there.
I don’t think it will ever happen.
Serbia will be the first export customer of the French-made Rafale.
300.000 Russians died fighting with the Ottoman empire on behalf of Bulgaria (the country wouldn’t exist today if it wasn’t for Russia & Serbia) … its sad to here there’s anything like “anti-Russian” attitude in this country.
Oh, and Serbia being the main threat…lol. But I guess its true.
Le Bourget, Farnbourough…all play second fiddle to Moscow’s MAKS.
UN is a joke and the sooner is abolished/disbanded, the better.
Long live Israel:)
How did they get “rid” of it? Returned them to Ukraine, scraped them or stored them?
SO there is no navy? Not even a river/lake based one? What do they have in Danube?
Anyways, what IF Austria-Hungary never messed with Serbia in 1914?
Would the situation be different today?
Bosnia, turn to some Emirates or Saudi Arabia?
Its a majority Christian country today and the first country they will turn to is obviously Serbia & Croatia, followed by Ukraine & Russia.
radar absorbing material?
Nice looking chopper!
If we buy it, just flip that flag around and…voila!
By the way, what does MUP use now?
Interesting.
Can anyone put up pics of this Ka-60 bird?
