I see SiCG either getting a upgraded package of 12 or so Mig-29s from Russia, or getting cheap deal with China which will still have to be upgraded for nato compatibility.
Gripens would be my wishful thinking, but it can only happen as a lease as Czechs did. Depending on the price, it just may make a lot of sence to do it.

As someone already stated,the Sweedes might not agree to selling weapons to Serbia due to Balkans wars. I am wonderign however if there was any cooperation on Gripen with Serbia in the 1980s,as Novi Avion project looked extremely similar?

I always thought it looked more like French Rafale because of the air intakes. At least the early ones. Havent seen any pictures of “YU supersonic” or “Novi Avion” after 1991

Yeh, we not getting far with debating politics nor history here as usual. Its too complicated, and delicate issue.
So I sugest kiss and make up so someone can tell me more about this photo. I got it from Aerosvet magazine from 1991. Picture is from YU stand at La bourget airshow displaying model of unmanned hybrid delta prototype.

Any more info/pics on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

how about Mig-25R for reconnaissance. We would only need like one to take care of the whole business in 5min.
sorry, couldn’t resist. :-))

I used to have few articles with pictures from early nineties from”Aerosvet” magazine describing some interesting Yugoslavian UAVs desings. Does anyone have quick reference/pics to those plans. Maybe they are displayed now at Batajnica Museum?

PS. I’ll look it up if I still have when I get home from work.

Yeh, old airframes is the main issue.

I always thought Yak-130 would be great for Serbian AF in addition to few dozen Galeb G-4Ms.

Mig-29M2 would be a perfect multi role airplane.

just my 2cents
