With all this talk about it being pointless for Serbia to have an air force because it surrounded by NATO. What if we have a scenario in a few years were Serbia does become a member of NATO and then hostilities or a minor conflict erupt with one of its neighbouring NATO countries. In this case NATO wouldn’t be able to invoke Article 5, leaving it up to military’s of both countries to defence their interests.
If Serbia was to buy aircraft like the J-7, Yak-130 or Jf-17 as some people are suggesting. These aircraft would be most likely insufficient to defend itself against neighbouring forces which in all probability be operating F-16s, JAS-39 and Old Gen MiG-29 by that time.
If Serbia eventually buyers more MiG-29M later down the track to deploy a fleet of atlest 12 to 24 aircraft. This will give the Serbian air force a good fighting chance over many of it neighbours or at minimum match their capacity.
On the flip side of the coin the Flanker would just be overkill. Why does a country with such a small and mass need a long-range heavy fighter like a Flanker.
